'Advice' from City Police

The priority here is totally wrong

1)Protect yourself - always wear a helmet
2)Be seen – wear reflective clothing
3)Be heard – have a bell fitted to your handlebars
4)Be alert – stay aware of what is going on around you and what other road users are doing
5)Get noticed – use hand signals and eye contact to communicate your intentions

Looking around and signalling are much higher priorities.

PPE is generally the last thing to be looked at when conducting a risk assessment. yet somehow this is turned on its head the police are making the least effective forms of risk management the most important.
