If hi-vis jacket/vests are made compulsory, will you comply?

[been_there]

There is no option for - Like fuck

For me it's not a case of having to comply, its a case of logistics.

At this point in time, Team NZ do not have a spare spinnaker in a high viz colour so I cant make me one.

Until they do I shall have to continue wearing my reflective arse shield, which can be seen from the moon. Those aerial shots in National Geographic that you think is the Great Wall of China is in fact my arse crack.

So what is the point of wearing one then?

I know from first hand experience that they don't make a difference.
I was wearing a full on big orange construction jacket on the bike over my bike jacket 'cos it was raining and I thought this big fuck off jacket would not only keep the rain off on the way to work but also that it would make me more visible. Apparently not. It was huge, bright orange and covered in flouro shit and in the middle of a roundabout some fucker decides he wants the bit of road I'm on and comes into the roundabout from the left just after I enter. Fortunately for me It was one of the first times I'd ridden in the rain and was being super careful. If not it would have probably been curtains. If a massive bright orange jacket doesn't do anything to make you more visible, useless cunts in cages wont see anything.
To answer the question, I guess I would wear a vest if it was the law. but what a stupid, useless, money grubbing law.

Yep, 100% agree.

I shagged some tart at a bus stop back in London and I was wearing my work vis vest. It didnt stop me from getting a dose of galloping knob rot that made me wish I was a woman.

So yeah, viz vests are fucking useless

I'm interested to know what MAG-NZ and BRONZ's stance would be if they did try to make them compulsory.

Nobody gives a toss what your interested in.

I had a guy turn into me while I was stationary at some lights (he was moving so slowly I pulled my bike out of the way!!!), I was wearing one and sitting three feet from his window... he even came past me to get in the car... still never saw me.

If people are not looking for bikes in the first place I am not sure they help, however I always wear one in low light conditions or rain etc. as any help is valuable then.
