Friggen things should be banned on motorcycles - every BMW rider I see is wearing one and I slow down thinking they are a cop .......

We don't have those here, so every Beemer that I see with a rider wearing a hi viz vest I think it's Nerrd

Interestingly, last few times it was really him

Flockin hell.

its now reached the treshold where everyone( and everything) wear high viz vests. Everyone from a chicken to a trolley boy at the supermarket. There are so many wearing them now, you have a better chance of sticking out from the crowd by not wearing one.

fuckin weirdos

Every bloody fourth person in Christchurch is wearing hi-vis - it's the new black man. I propose that it is becoming so common that the intended impact is now lost. No doubt someone will get a couple hundred k from the government to do a study!

Why did the chicken cross the road!? ...... To get a high vis vest for 12 pounds!

Oh dear, being protected from our own stupidity again.

Yeah, Hi viz is becoming the new shell suit. Lots of folk up here wear hi viz tee shirts & the like from the forestry. Hand me downs I guess with the implication that they may have heard of work as a concept. Hi viz trolley transporters at Countdoon? Who's the idiot, the employee, the customer or the legislator?
I'm having a wee seethe.

Better now. Chicken tastes much nicer than the hi viz hoodlum up the road who I bit a few days ago when he tried to pinch me gate.

Heard something interesting the other day about object identification. A solid colour is pick up much faster than multi colour, that why cammo works for army's. Not to completely hide but to take long for the eye to pick up a threat. Same with navy boats in the first world war that had big black stripes on them.

So wearing a fluro vest makes you harder to see. Same with multi coloured helmets etc.

Yeah I rolled up next to a woman texting at the lights the other day with the sunshield down on my helmet...she put the phone down pretty quick.

Can't stop wearing the hivis now, I'm too chicken.

...the most notable and striking object I noticed on Colombo St in Chch a day or so ago, was a bloke in black overalls...every other spot in my vision was crowded with hi-vis orange or green and unnoticeable as real objects...

You will find that a gray ship is very hard to spot on the horizon. We don't paint em with red or black lines on the hulls anymore as modern day missiles have the ability to pick out changes in colour.

Fucking Gray.

Navy = good.

3 out of 5 bloody cars on the road = not good.

Do these buggers all buy the cheaper base model that just happens to be Gray,,,or are they really that fucking boring ?

Hell,gray must be the new white.
