    I just want to know why a couple years ago I had to buy these new expensive PT’s with reflective material embedded and I’ve still got to wear this stupid orange and yellow vest over the top of the reflective material.

    Ahhh…

    LEDs are getting pretty cheap these days…

    …won’t be long before everyone will be required to wear some sort of flashing light array (in every color to satisfy ADA requirements for colorblind Americans).

    Sooner or later, somebody is going to get hit by a car regardless of their reflective belt… and some “leader” is going to take the next logical step in showing his Commitment to Safety.

    It’s just going to take Nichia hiring General Halftrack when he retires to seal the deal.

    J!

    The other thing I don’t understand is that some posts have the orange vest, others have the yellow reflective belt, other have an orange, and when I was at Carson they had a blue one. Even more ridiculous is that the roads are sealed off when doing PT so you can’t get hit by car, so why the reflective belts?
