'polite' hi viz jackets

[Bigtallfatbloke]

I think the most valid point in that legal banter conversation was that as soon as the morons realise it isn't a police vest they will get closer and increase their harrassment.

I also believe that it is close enoogh to a Police vest to warrent a minimum of a 'ticking off' by an officer of der loooer.

I have decided I won't wear one. I will continue to wear my hi vis vest which I ALWAYS wear. I may even add some choice words to it..but it won't infer that i am a police officer.

When i was a truck driver i remember following a long line of traffic through Manchester for what seemed like eternity and when i eventually got near the front i could see what the hold up was ... A Cyclist ! and on the back of his jacket it said " Caution Deaf Cyclist " i did'nt see one vehicle try to pass to closely

The legal banter quickly degenerated and digressed to RLJ, pavement cycling and cycling with no lights etc, tbh. The real fuzzzzz have seen me loads of times...not a dicky bird (I even say 'hello' to them on their bikes when I go past them, being polite n all that), but I can fully understand your reservations for not wanting to wear one.

" Caution Deaf Cyclist "

Now that's funny!....how about I get a retriever and have him tied to the bike as well..."Caution deaf and blind cyclist....kill me you kill my dog!"

I used to know a guy who trained he dog to follow just behind his bike and would happily ride trough traffic with the dog following behind...
