    Saw a new one today: what looked like an ordinary Ortlieb pannier but with "Dad" written on it in large friendly letters.

    Possibly trying the strategy of "humanising" in order to discourage bad driving?

    I saw the POLITE high viz vest for the first time yesterday.

    Very clever. Looks enough like a Police tabard that you take absolute notice of it.

    Unfortunately some people take absolutely no notice of it...

    1-2% of overtakes came within 50 cm no matter what outfit was worn.

    It will give significantly more passing space than other options, though, which might add comfort if not absolute safety.
