Why do some drivers wear them when driving do they not realise that they look first class knobs.
Not this again
I get to work put my hi viz on and take it off at the end of my shift, because if the previous driver has managed to get grease/oil on the seat and I don’t notice ( I drive nights so usually dark throughout my shift) then I have it on my back, get out and put my hi viz on so no one can see my newly acquired grease patch and warn me about it, this carries on until the end of my shift then I get in my car and transfer the grease/oil to my nice clean car seat and go home none the wiser. When I get home my wife says “I’m going shopping with the girls, in my favourite white top”, to which I reply “ok darling have a lovely day with the girls and by the way your white top is fab”. So off she goes while I got to bed for a nice well deserved sleep.
When I wake I stroll into the bathroom while yawning and having a good scratch, and as I go to clean my teeth I notice theres a few things missing, strange but I just think maybe she’s having a clear out, but it’s not until I go downstairs and the full reality of the situation hits me, the house is bare, TV has gone, Stereo has gone, Sky box, Blu ray player even my Xbox and PS3 are no longer here, new settee, table and chairs all gone, just one thing left on the floor in the middle of the room, a fab white top with a large grease stain on the back !! After having a few days off work, the boss wasnt so understanding and I lost my Job and was unable to to keep up the mortgage payments and never saw my daughter as she wasn’t allowed to my new room at the hostel, after some time of feeling totally alone and with nothing in my life other than misery and loneliness I decide that the best option is to end everything as quickly and painlessly as possible !!!
Or I could just drive about looking like a first class nob to the people I care nothing about !!!
On a serious note, I feel sorry for you if your actions are governed by the way you consider yourself to be perceived by others !!
Jeeez man! Have I hit a raw nerve here or what. Now you keep wearing the hi viz if you feel that strongly about it, each to his own and all that, and if it makes things easier for you I will try not to use the words knob and hi viz in the same sentence again, now have a lie down, but for Christ’s sake check out the car seat …Errr still can’t see how you deduce that I give a rat’s ■■■ about what people perceive about ME,… but hey don’t bother trying to explain. or worse still analogise again

Yeah and don’t let it happen again or my response will be a long en again !!
Cute dog, think yourself lucky, my last girlfriend bought a flashing LED collar for one of our whippets. To be fair, it did help you find him in the dark after he decided to do a runner after yet another rabbit. Fun times.
It takes 2 seconds to take a hi-vis off. Less time than it takes to climb into the cab. So take it off.
Grease on the seat? Mk2 eyeball, great invention.
I’ve been doing pallet network multidrop the past three weeks, very few places care if you aren’t wearing one. In this hot weather, all they do is create sweat, I hate the things.
I don’t get why people always make comments on here about others wearing hi-viz while driving.
Because lorry drivers smell, and it’s usually the great unwashed contingent that insist on never removing their high viz, or introducing it to the laundry basket.
I know it’s been said a thousand times before but why o why do some British drivers wear their hi-vis on the Eurotunnel shuttle or on the Dover-Calais ferries■■?
As said above…if you are doing multi-drop then why bother taking it off but FFS…you are gonna be on a ferry for an hour and a half or the train for 45mins.
Still…makes an interesting game of “spot the brit”
does it matter what colour a hi-vis is orange or yellow ? Silly question i know but the ones we get provided with are yellow but my new coach came with an orange one packed inside the crate with the jack ,tools ect
i think it is a great idea when it is dark,i am really against high viz and always wait to be asked to put it on in daylight as in my eyes it is just stupid that a grown up has to were them when u can see the person perfectly with out it in my eyes it is just total bullsh€t but at night or dusk when the reflective stripes can be picked up easerly it is a good idea we have lost a lurcher by it being run over whilst chasing a hare one morning while the wife was walking it she first rung up to tell me it had been run over and was on the operating table then again about 3hrs later to say it had died it broke my heart being told that miles away over the phone i know people will say it was only a animal but to me it was part of the family the dog we have now has a flashing coller as he is jet black and impossible to see in the dark so when he is off lead we can see him we do not let him of near roads but in fields same as the last dog as i like to give them a good run and as few animals have very little road sence i would like to think that if the dog was to run through the hedge in the road it would stand more of a chance of being seen in poor light with the flashing coller because in our house our dog is a very valued member of the family and unlike my daughters is pleased to see me every time i come home never answers back and never asks for money what more could a bloke ask for
