Didn’t really expect much from DrivingUk but honestly the amount of downvotes shocked me. God forbid people go out at night dressed normally without full on high vis.

Yup, I’m a train/e scooter commuter and I have added reflective and lights to all my gear because I care about my personal safety. While the cars should see me and should be traveling at a safe speed (especially when visibility is low), I don’t expect them to because they’re fucking car brains. It’s self awareness and preservation, I know the cars are mostly looking for other cars because they’re more common and a larger threat to the driver. I can help them not fuck me up by clipping a couple cheap lights and reflective stickers. Honestly even with that I’ve almost been struck, so I recently installed an electric horn to my scooter and I’m constantly hooting at dumbass Uber drivers more focused on their phone than the road (I also find the disproportionately loud horn from the scooter quite funny).
