I’d been told about this latest piece of H&S bo###x happening at this particular site and, as I was unfortunate enough to be up there the other day, thought I would have to try it out.
Pull up at gate…
“Where’s your High-Vis, drive?”
“On the bed here.”
“Put it on.”
“I’ll put it on when I get out the cab.”
“Put it on now or you don’t get in.”
“Simple question mate, but why on earth do I have to wear my High-Vis when I’m in the cab?”
… are you ready for the answer?
“So we can see you” (Really!)
"Hold on mate, I’m in a lorry that’s about 55 foot long, fifteen feet high, better part of 8 foot wide – and you’re saying that I need to wear a High-Vis so you can see me!?
“Yep. Put your High-Vis on.”
How on earth do you fight that level of total and utter stupidity?

You can’t.
These mouth breathers aren’t like you and I, they actually can’t comprehend the utter nonsense they’re saying. He has said it out loud and still can’t work out that it doesn’t make sense.
Put it on then take it back off once you’re in then pretend to be deaf if anyone has nothing better to do than tell you to wear it in the cab.
It’s because of those drivers who don’t mind looking like complete knobs wearing them all day long to drive.
Then these h&s guys see them (think it’s a ‘good idea’ 
) and implement it towards you and me.

Driving in a manky, greasy hi vis is one thing, it’s another when you see them in cafes and truckstops eating with them on.

I prefer the ‘Agency day driver chique’’ stylee, …pristine clean, pressed, buttoned up to the top, accompanied by the sat upright/nose up to the windscreen stance, to complete ‘The Look’ 
I hate hi vis with a passion. That is all. 
Climbed onto loading bay and into trailer. You got to wear a hi vis in our warehouse driver, I’m not in your warehouse I’m on my trailer. You still need it. No I don’t you can’t drive your forklift in here.
I tried asking for a “Banksman” on more than one occasion, when some security hut gruppenarschenfuhrer decided to play the “gotta do this, must wear that” ■■■■■■■■.
I got the directions to the nearest Barclarys. This git seriously thought I wanted to pop down to use the cashpoint.
