What a sad life some people lead if all they can think about is when and where someone is wearing a Hi Vis
Get something interesting to post about
I was told in a RDC one night that if you’re wearing a Hiviz item of clothing and get hit on the road/pub car park/Greggs car park etc then there isn’t even an investigation, the driver is at fault and any decent blame/claim lawyer will get you a minimum of 3 squillion pounds. So mine stays on from leaving my house until getting home. Better to be safe 
Back around 1989/90 when I first joined the ambulance service (we had a proper uniform then), we were issued a nice coat and a separate yellow high viz jacket.
Now I never really got into working nights…
Fairly early on in my career we were called to an RTC at around 2 am and I’m the attendant (as opposed to the driver), so as we approach the scene I put on my nice new high viz jacket. When we stop I slide back the door, jump out all keen, take maybe 3 steps, stop suddenly and fall over backwards.
…I’d managed to get the seat belt in the jacket between my shoulders as I’d put it on so I was doing fine until the inertia mechanism decided I was going to fast and stopped me rather sharply!

I even keep mine on anytime im in a baghouse or wandering about a redlight area in a alcoholic stupor…safe ■■■ and all that,
jesus I cant believe how sodding miserable some people are on here, the whole post was obviously just a bit of banter/ribbing. it also had a mix of FTW and agency so was imo impartial too.
when I drive I use in winter the big hi viz coat type thing (as agency I also add extra grease to it so I fit in), but on the other hand as agency I also use the extra money to buy another once the grease has been left on the seat of the FTW.
the above is a joke for the miserable sods on here by the way.

Yeh unbelievable, t 
They should trade in their hi vizs for a second hand sense of humour
.
The ones that have took offence are obviously the offenders, it has likely been a bit of self realisation to them that they are getting the ■■■■ ripped out of them regularly for looking a tad knobbish, so are trying to regain a bit of dignity.

Waved goodbye to mine 20+ years ago!
And it’s a good point, why do some bother posting negativity intended to belittle others while attempting to elevate themselves…
(And failing!)
a geezer at one of our stores wears a pink hi-viz 
i won’t be attempting to take a photo of him though!

Think you’re reading too much into it bud, I don’t think anybody intends to ‘belittle’ anybody as such, well not on my part anyway, I just like winding people up that bite.
Anyway you should know that, look at how many times I’ve wound you up
…don’t bite I’m joking.

Patronized more like!
Not that iam in to tango boys man photography hobby too but there was a few high vis coats poking under the cubicle doors in Cherwell valley services today as in on the floor ,now there’s no way I’d be wearing that again !
Encountered a dreaded off shoot of the ‘perma viz’ driver yesterday in Jack’s Hill.
The type that sits down for his breakfast, resplendent in greasy once hi-viz, who gives a loud running commentary on what goes on around and outside… is the fact that I sit on my own, reading a paper, not clear enough that I dont wish to engage in conversation? ?
It is all about marketing
Can’t really call myself an innocent in high via wearing, for some reason, I don’t actually have a proper coat or jumper in my cab, only a high vis fleece and a high vis coat in green and orange respectively. Was driving down the duel carriageway by Cirencester today and saw a chap fishing by a lake in full orange high vis gear. Perhaps he wanted to make sure the fish knew which direction to swim to, or perhaps he had a crap day because the fish stayed away because they could see him?

He’s using a new technique where he bores the fish to death. He tells them how he works for the agency just for something different on his days off from his big city job.

Everybody needs a hobby, even agency drivers! Did he have his tackle in a carrier bag (sorry, I’ll rephrase that, did he have his fishing gear in a carrier bag?)

I’ll come clean in case anybody saw me, I wore my hi viz behind the wheel today …There I’ve said it.
, but there was mitigating circumstances, and I was parked up.
I put a jacket tatie with beans and cheese in the microwave, it was particularly messy (or rather I am) so I put it on to keep the bean stains off my polo.
Just hope nobody who saw me thought I was agency, the shame! 
btw. That was a bit of a joke to all you miserable gits on here
