That is as one might have suspected.

It didn't stop you offering comment on it.

No reason why not. Why does knowledge of the proportions matter?

For most purposes, it doesn't.

But it matters when one says that "the authorities" require the use of
hi-viz.

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).


[T3]
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?

Good god. You mentioned "authorities" on 19/09/18 12:04. And then on
19/10/18 22:34 asked what these "authorities" were.

Get your attributions right.

Government entities. Who gives a **** other than you?

The "authorities" can be different entities in different contexts.

It may be that you think that there is only one set of them.

Get your attributions right.


What are you talking about?

There's no real need to answer that. It's clear that you don't know.

Government entities. Who gives a **** other than you?


When it comes to little things like obeying the law, not cyclists,
that's for certain.

Care to elucidate?

Or will you hide behind your usual imprecise but snide insinuation(s)?

There is nothing imprecise about the facts. I have already told you twice.

You haven't "told me" even once.

But you are now in your usual cryptic "Look it up on Google" mode. You
imagine that it makes your "argument" look sound.
