My Dad fables a story of owning a high vis jack with "Polite" written on. I never saw it, only ever heard about it.

I saw a git on a toury type bike, with reflective yellow squares and a white helmet the other day! Crapped as I nearly went flying past him til closer inspection revealed no blue light, no use of the word 'police' anywhere, and no boxes for various equipment.

Still irritated me though. Sad

Apprently its odd everyone behaves themselfs..

A sure way to avoid that "uh i didn't see you mate2 because they would utterly brick themselfs if they did hit a copalike Laughing

Perfectly legal if your not displaying the word police and not useing the same colour scheme, but its a fine line + cops dont like it much so wont do you any favours there...

Ho ho, that could have been either my test examiner! He used a big white pan-euro style bike with yellow stripes and a white flip-up full face helmet. It was helpful though, everyone was giving me right of way for some strange reason Smile
