• While your right to say bright clothing is more easily identifiable a more interesting question is wether bright clothing is necessary. An alternative would be that we all travelled at a speed where we could stop within the distance of road we can see clearly ahead.

    It's not an either/or thing though is it ? Driving slower makes cyclists less likely to get hit at the cost of getting there later. Hiviz cycle clothing make cyclists less likely to get hit at the cost of loss of sartorial elegance. Both seem like a good idea to me.
