So, this has been getting debated for the last few months - the possible introduction of mandatory hi-vis wear.
The RSA have recently released their Motorcycle Safety Action Plan. You can read it here. In section 4.4.5 they mention:
"The Motorcycle Safety Action proposes the introduction of regulations for the mandatory wearing of high visibility upper body clothing with full sleeves for ride and pillion passenger."

Personally I'm on the fence with this debate. On one hand it most likely would save somebody, on the other hand I'm sick of the nanny state that I see us turning into….
Motorcycle accidents are a serious problem. More hi-vis might help. It makes sense....but I personally don't want to wear one...I don't even know why......I should but I JUST.DON'T.WANT.TO! (I have a few friends that are rider trainers and they will swiftly give me a kick in the arse after reading this:)
Anyway, I'm really interested to get your opinion on the topic. You can comment below or on the facebook page HERE.
