Driving instructor’s hi‑viz warning questioned as Highway Code puts duty on drivers, not cyclists’ clothing

A social media post by driving instructor Sheena Ahmed, of Motorvation School of Motoring, urging cyclists to wear high‑visibility clothing, has prompted West Yorkshire Cycling to examine how her claims sit alongside the Highway Code and the available evidence on road safety.

There's a sunny bright orange theme to my day.

There is another issue - #HiViz isn’t actually that effective (particularly yellow against a green background). It’s classic “we need to do something and this is something” and does nothing about the hierarchy of risk #ActiveTravel

Take that #HiViz evangelists.

"there is no evidence that either colour [white or fluorescent yellow] is more or less visible or more likely to be involved in an accident"

So wear what you bloody well like when you are out #cycling.

White emergency ambulances to be rolled out across North East

NEAS says switching to white ambulances would save about £1,000 per vehicle.

It was a dreary January day. Even my full high visibility gear for work couldn't cheer me up!

It brings back memories of the #Viz #January #Januaryland fake advert (contains profanity).

For those who are interested the van is a Volkswagen ID Buzz. It's an EV. Not that you lovely fedi people are like that but yes I spent a number of years considering whether EV's were ready for me as a business and no I don't need to hear the mostly false scaremongering about batteries.

This vehicle has saved my business about £2000 in just 6 months and that figures in the slightly higher leasing costs.

Plus it has a sub 8 second 0-60 😈

I'm getting so much more confident with the DJI Neo drone.

This was recorded using only on-drone controls and gestures.

Yes I'm in full hi visibility workwear.

Yesterday going back home by #motorcycle was... difficult. There was a very dense #fog. I could ride on the #highway, albeit at slow speeds, using the center line and the road side #reflectors to keep the bike on the road, but once left the highway I was completely lost! The smaller #country #roads here have no reflectors and no center/lateral lines, only a strip of tarmac in the nature. I saw literally NOTHING. I was a little scared. I went back and very slowly found my way back to the highway and then took that to #Florence and then to #Siena. This way I doubled the kilometers, but I could get home using almost only highways. It was a longer ride than expected, after a day of work at the office, and I was home at 2 AM, exhausted. Took this photo and got to bed.
...it was nice to ride my #bike after so much time, anyway!
