Hmmm. From the number of road signs around here that have been flattened, I'm not so sure I'd feel
safe. Kinda makes one a target.

A couple of years back I saw a girl cycling along who had taped a notice to her backpack with a
rather rude message about motorists handwritten on it. Not very wise, I thought (although it's
likely few motorists would have seen it let alone had time to read it).

I wear a high-vis sleeveless thingie and have D E A F in large reflective letters on the back. After
over one thousand miles of use I can report that it works, honest.
Without it, well, we all know only too well what happens - they nearly take your right knee-cap off
when they pass. When I *am* wearing it, drivers overtaking me realise that I can't hear them and
mostly leave me loads'v and loads'v room, even to the point of shifting completely to the other side
of the road, not just straddling the crown. (When it's obvious they've done this, I always give 'em
a wave for their rear-view mirrors - doesn't cost anything.)
I'm fairly satisfied that it is indeed the "DEAF" which has that effect. When I'm being passed by
more than 1 vehicle, with the way cars tailgate nowadays, car #1 will give me lots'v room and
car(s) #1+ will swing out too - but not so much, the space decreasing with each next vehicle. I
think they ape car #1 "just in case" sort'v stuff, but no further, becos while they may indeed be
aware that there is something causing car #1 to pull out, they can see only "just another cyclist"
(through the previous vehicle's back and front windscreens) but cannot see the reason for the
pull-out, the DEAF legend.
Bus drivers and lorry drivers are *magic*, they really are; they seem to re-discover all kinds of
road courtesy. I think that the normal position of a cyclist, bent forward, means that it is to them
that the legend is most visible. In town traffic, at lights, etc, I get lots of consideration.
A side benefit is that no-one bothers to use the horn ("Puir wee sowel, couldnae hear me even
if Ah did").
It cost about a fiver to get the letters stuck on (at about 40 degrees, the wee man said) and it's
washable, although I rinse it through by hand.
I did get one moan - "Oh, well then, if you're no' really deef then yer misleadin' the travellin'
public, so-ye-are. Ah'll tell the polis, so-Ah-will" sort'v thing. I pointed out that his mobile
outhouse had a sticker in the back window saying: "Child on Board" but that the vehicle was innocent
of his brat. End of argument.
You do get funny looks in the supermarket though....
Yooors,
Iain.

This is the normal behaviour of a cager train, and one of the many reasons to keep well out from the
kerb, because by the time the fifth one is going past and suddenly realises that the thing coming
the other way with the lights flashing is a 40T artic, it's useful to have somewhere to go. Braking
not being an option for cagers, obviously.

Saw one do this today but the thing coming the other way was a jam sandwich with full flashing blue
lights, flashing headlights, the lot.
It was a stream of traffic, and the stream moved over to the left, since oncoming light show was
straddling the white line and obviously very keen to get somewhere. The car in front of me
apparently saw the car in front of him pulling over towards the kerb as a good opportunity to
overtake. Heaven forbid actually looking past the back of teh car in front to see if there's space
to overtake, if it wavers from the line, blast round it. I'm really not sure how the police car
avoided him.
Anyhow, if the morons can't see a white, red, flourescent, double flashing, wailing, police car, it
explains how come a mere cyclist is completely invisible, I suppose.

When I asked the bloke who was doing the letter-ironing-on for me what he thought of my
live-a-little-longer wheeze, he suggested I use BLIND instead....

I've seen a chap on a motorcycle commuting into Birmingham with a full hi-viz jacket on and the word
'POLITE' on the back. He also rides a white BMW, and has a white helmet

And he rides along the A453 each morning (Walsall-> Perry Barr-> Newtown-> Bham)? I have seen a guy
on such a machine with the helmet you describe, but I have never noticed the wording on his jacket.

Last time I saw this chap was in 2001 on the A45. Since then I've stopped working in Birmingham.

Someone I used to know who dressed a bit like that was asked politely by the local police to take
the "POLITE" off the flourescent stripe on his motorbike panniers. They did make it clear that if it
didn't come off they would ask again not-politely.
