On a being seen aspect. I've probably become paranoid but back when my father was a bit more mobile and walked the dog, we got him to wear a high vis jacket just for crossing the road.

I'm rarely out on foot at night but my own regular coat at least has some small reflective stripes on it and we keep a couple of hi vis vests (don't think they are compulsory in the UK but I believe, not that we will be taking car abroad) in the car just in case we had to get out in the dark.

Like I say, maybe I'm just paranoid but is there anything wrong in the idea of being easier to see.
