Omfg. This is the reason we have bike radar.
Hi viz jacket (bright) flouro type will not mean you are seen better at night.
To be seen at night you need good lights front and rear which are fully charged. The effectiveness of some of the new rear lights is excellent, as I am constantly blinded by nodders lit up like Xmas trees recently.
From experience the reflective ankle bands are superb. They move as they are strapped to your ankles and are highly reflective.
During daylight I've never felt the need to turn to hi viz. It's not a fucking "invincibilty cloak".
Of you ride defensively and assertivelly you ought to remain safe.
