> Note that wearing a hi-viz vest can actually make you more accident prone. There's been various studies that a helmet or a hi-viz vest means other cars will pass you closer than before. Even worse, when I used to ride a motorcycle I got complaints and agression when wearing a hi-viz vest. Either people though I was a traffic controller and sometimes approach me more aggresively (aggression toward police/traffic controllers is getting more common these days in the Netherlands), or they where angry and comment that I should not pose as a traffic controller. Because if every motorcyclist whore a hi-viz vest, how can the distinct them from traffic controllers?
