I WAS in an unfortunate situation of knocking a guy off of his bicycle in the early hours of September 14.

The street lights had been switched off, it was very dark wet and windy, against a black background.

The cyclist had only grey/dark grey clothes on and had no hi-viz on at all.

I don’t believe his front light was on/working either.

Road signs too were an issue, as they hindered my line of sight – again grey background!

However-after forty plus years of penalty free driving, because the cyclist was on the roundabout and I came on to the roundabout – I knocked him off his bike and I’m wrong!

Had he been wearing hi viz/dayglow, waist coat/jacke I would have seen him.

Please help me promote hi viz.
