Somebody one posted a picture of their hi viz on here, written on the the back was " I’m wearing this so everyone knows I have a ■■■■ job"
Wearing one whilst driving is right up there with other transport faux pas such as frilly curtains and number plates with ones name on, somebody asked me once why I don’t wear mine when driving, my reply if I wanted to do that i’d get a job on the bins.
I was the first bloke at our quarry to have an orange hi-viz jacket (ex railway) back in 2000 and the quarry manager told me that I couldn’t wear it as it didn’t show up as clearly as yellow, I told him that he had easily spotted me in it but alas it had to go.

I had a drop at ARCO warehouse in Hull and was told my yellow hi viz wasn’t allowed! They gave me an orange one to wear. Really don’t know what difference it makes.

What’s drivers wearing hi viz jackets after they park up for the evening? Just saw a Severn lincs driver going in the showers in the services. Maybe he’s seen welcome breaks risk assessment and I haven’t. Hi viz jackets make you look a bell end, myself included. Can’t wait to get mine off asap
Perhaps some drivers wear them so everyone knows they are a lorry driver… as if the knuckles dragging on the floor weren’t a big enough clue…
I want one that says “I am wearing this, as the fork lift driver is logistics answer to Stevie Wonder”
I don’t understand the problem in wearing a high vis whilst driving? Does it make you a better driver without one?
I’ve been in what seems to be the start of a career driving artics for about 8 months now and I rarely ever take it off during the day, I mostly forget it’s there in the first place.
Why do people assume you’re agency if you drive with a high vis? I’ve never understood this mentality.

Yeah well going for a pint in one is a bit odd! But I don’t think it matters really, I do drive in mine because with a memory as bad as mine I’d be constantly walking back to get it at depots after getting told off for inadequate PPE…
Nobody’s business what I wear really though, job gets done just the same

With Alzheimer’s like that you shouldn’t be driving, spacker!
Our lot tell you not to drive in an hivis because it may cause a reflextion on the windscreen and its an image thing,one better than the hivis vest is the full blown hivis polo shirt usually bought from aldi or lidl
i’m part of the bell end brigade and lazy with it. I just cant be arsed to take mine off and the way half the population drive about either texting or general day dreaming i feel when i hop out the cab i’ve less chance of getting whacked by a passing vehicle.

I got collared once for wearing a high vis on a Wincanton site, the managers didn’t like it because that was the colour they wore. Got issued a spare yellow one (which I had to sign out) then got collared again for not having it fastened up.
