The idea behind the hi-vis jacket was a good one, workmen in dangerous places put them on and you could spot them easily. That worked.... Well until now that is.
You see the problem is the jackets no longer stand out, back in the day they were the only fluorescent stuff around so the showed up easily, now sadly everybody cashed in and bloody 'dayglow' yellow is everywhere. Every other person is wearing them, bus drivers for example... if you can't see the bloody bus your never going to see the driver lets face it!
The trouble is so many advertising signs, drinks bottles and every other persons with a hi-vis jacket has diluted the effect, we no longer really see the jackets, they just merge into a background of 'dayglow' yellow/orange, so the effect and the whole point of wearing them is lost.
To be honest I'm more lightly to notice someone not wearing a bloody hi-vis jacket these days!
