Which "authorities" would that be?

You're the best person to know what you had in mind when you first
mentioned "the authorities" a month and 5 replies ago.


[JN] Easy.
The authorities for the purposes of researching the benefits of easier
visibility for cyclists are the Department of Transport (and the road
research laboratory).

You're only replying to yourself.


Er... no.

I was replying to *your* "You're the best person to know what you had in
mind when you first mentioned "the authorities" a month and 5 replies ago".

It's all there, still. Just above.

Though you made the classic mistake of mentioning "easier visibility".
Is visibilty the objective or a means to something else?


It is, of course, both. Visibility in the first instance, and that in
its turn in order to aid road safety.

Even now, the Highway Code only suggests "light-coloured or fluorescent
clothing". The picture shows a rider in jeans and dark t-shirt.


Why would you think the HC suggests "light-coloured or fluorescent
clothing" for cyclists?

Are its writers and custodians just being awkward?

Or is the HC something whose inconvenient bits are to be ignored (eg, by
cyclist fashion victims) when circumstances demand it?
