On hiviz vests. They do make the bike/rider more visible in my practical driving and riding experience. I don't wear one, but if they were made compulsory I can't see how it could reduce my riding pleasure.

And Rastus is right. Fault means fuck all.

Cassina is a fuckwit.

but hi vis just doesn't look cool

I know I will be labeled as a religious nutter for saying this but lets assume there will be a judgement day and if there is it will be those with the least amount of sin (fault) that will likely make it to heaven. So being at fault when you die could end up with your after life not being so pleasant if there is one of course.

there's a stairway to heaven and a highway to hell, this tells you a bit about the traffic volumes...

Fuck off donut muncher, you're talking far too much sense, you don't belong here

Strange. I had almost developed a sense if belonging.

I cant change everyone else's attitude. But I can change mine instantly.

It's free, and it makes an immense difference.

Once again, I totally agree!

Fault makes a lot of difference as if there was no one at fault there would be no crashes so there needs to be incentives for people to never want to be found DEAD in the first place. I have posted what I would like to see happen there in that those found at fault not only get fined/imprisonsed but also end up paying a higher ACC premium for their actions.
Riding in a way to give way to those that may not give way is limited to times when you have no following traffic that may likely rear end you for braking unexpectedly.
I dont blame the crap roads at all. It just involves buying a bike that can handle them safer. For those who can not afford to change bikes for different roads they will forever blame the roads I guess.
Ditching the bike altogether is the only way to reduce the chance of coming to grief and I was told by a bike cop at a motorcycle racing event once that even the police are not keen on wanting to ride a bike to patrol on.

I would say that the fear of dying on a bike plays a big part in keeping me alive when riding.

I would prefer to say the desire to remain alive and well played a big part in keeping me alive when riding (rather than the negative version "fear of dying") but even that isn't enough when... (see next quote below)

I cant change everyone else's attitude. But I can change mine instantly.

Realistically my attitude (we're assuming positive and proactive awareness and satisfactory skill level) is still no guarantee that major shit won't happen while on two wheels. Since selling the bike I seem to see even more riders for whom the first word that goes through my head is......."dickhead"

what do you mean...selling your bike?.......what??

[Voltaire]

Oh dear. Really?

It does explain a lot. I believe in reincarnation so it doesnt really matter what I do in this life because my next life will be better.

I don't think reincarnation gives you an automatic upgrade, being a lawyer you might come back as Traffic Warden.

That could be an upgrade... sometimes traffic wardens are very nice people

As John Cleese said about Donald Trump, "I don't see why he is complaining about being called a MORON - he should be pleased with the upgrade."

From what I've seen personally these days in this bubble wrapped hiviz society, the vests have some visual aid out in the open but inner city & urban environment there's so many wearing them it all just blends into one big collage of colours. And to the average "gotta be somewhere 5mins ago" joe behind the wheel almost a veil of invisibility for their monocular form of vision.

C is an obtuse POS

i might try a white or (shudder) hi viz helmet next time.
