Not wore my Hi-Viz since coming off because it was torn in the slide as a proper PRO Hi-Viz rider you may be interested to know I've only had 2 moments of heavy braking on the commute whilst riding without. Thats nearly a month of inner city filtering with only 2 incidents worth remembering (and one of those was an intentional ar5ewhole) 2 incidents per month is about average, so its made little or no difference to weeks when I've worn it.
That said I know if I HAD been wearing it then the merc wouldnt have pulled up to block me filtering, driver got "dave'd" for his stupidity, co-incidently it could actually be the same silver car I had to avoid last week.
"dave'd" is a term I've employed following the actions of a certain dave20046 it is used to summarise when a rider pulls up along side a car drivers window and angryily shoots a look of discust towards its driver whilst taking the throttle to the rev limiter a couple of times.
