I hope some sensible person came along and took their motorcycle away. I hate the Polite vest more than anything. Its design mimics the fonts and banding used by the Police - a deliberate attempt to imitate the fuzz.

Having led group ride-outs in the past, I make it clear that anyone wearing this attire is not welcome.

I have said it before, and will say it again.
Everyone has the right to wear what they like on a bike.Legality allowing.
Equally ....I have the right to severely take the piss out of them. :whistle:

I don't care what anyone wears on their bike as long as they are not telling me what to wear on mine.
Drivers pull out in front of bikes in my experience because they don't see us a threat and they aren't looking for us anyway.
With people on their phones nowadays texting and even watching videos whilst trying to steer I don't think they are too worried about looking out for bikes.

It's not just watching videos that distracts some drivers  :shock:

Let's face it UK driving standards vary from the sublime to the completely ridiculous,with that in mind and being unable to tell the idiots from the good drivers,I treat all drivers,and one or two motorcyclists too BTW,as potential killers.
I wear an Oxford hiviz vest and either a hiviz or white helmet,DLRs,main beam on motorways especially with a low sun behind me.
I suffer no illusions that they'll make me anymore visible to the ones that don't  see me,but should I get wiped out,I or my N of K will have a strong case against the perpetrator.
