High Vis clothing not necessarily safe for cyclists

Wheels of Happiness

HIgh visibility garments

In foreign countries, high vis clothing is mandatory to prevent accidents.  However, a pro cyclists broke his back after being hit by a speeding car.  He was wearing high vis clothing  He is going to miss a race in March

"Sorry mate I did not see you"  I have heard this before from a tricycle driver one late morning  He sideswiped my bike, and when confronted, he said sorry he did not notice me    

Really some posts are right in saying that really biking on the streets is not safe.  Not to mention sharrows, and bike lanes (as announced) notwithstanding
