[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I very much appreciate cyclists who are wearing reflective gear as a driver. It helps so much, especially in dim light and dark situations. Heck, I love it when people who are walking or running on the roads wear something that is visible. [/quote]

I think that, to evaluate the effect of bright-colored and/or reflective clothing, you really have to look at it from the point of view of the person who is walking/running/bicycling, not the person who is driving. i.e., not "I was driving and saw this person and didn't hit them," but rather "I was walking/running/driving and this person almost hit me."

Typically, in this county at least, pedestrian/runner/bicyclist visibility (i.e., visibility to drivers) is not the issue. It's very common for pedestrians and bicyclists to get hit while they're crossing in the crosswalk with a walk signal in daylight. It's also common for workers to get hit in roadwork zones, and they're all wearing vests/reflective gear.[/quote]
