It's simply common sense to wear something reflective or a light colour, and carry a torch when walking in the dark down an unlit country road. 2nd nature to most folk brought up in the countryside.

And yes, I do have a hi vis vest somewhere.......

It doesn't say she wasn't wearing a light-coloured top/jacket.

No more rooming the countryside in camouflage during the day.

At work we have to wear them if we venture out of the office

Don't forget, though, you can absolutely trust motor insurance companies to do the right thing and pay out claims fairly. Why, you don't even need a lawyer. Trust them, they have nodding dogs and are obviously nice people. Unlike these nasty teenagers who fail to wear hi-vis jackets, and are clearly therefore at fault if hit by traffic.

I don't know why she wants to even involve the courts. She should just let Churchill represent her best interests and accept what they decide. It's not as if their first and only duty is to shareholders to minimise payouts, and maximise profits, is it?

Anyway, that nice Mr. Grayling will tell you, these people that have the audacity to seek compensation, they are why you pay so much insurance. If people like her were told to sod off, then your premiums would come down, maybe fifty quid. Wouldn't we all prefer to live in a society like that?

I'd love to be on the girls side in court on this one, there's a huge pile of evidence that hiviz doesn't make you any more conspicuous - the French government has just accepted this and removed a proposal to make motorcyclists wear it at all times - and at the end of the day, the law says that drivers have to drive with 'due consideration for others at all times'.

Churchill just trying it on.

That's interesting.

Totally agree. Which, with it having made the news, doesn't make them look good.

I used to have a neighbour who had a go at me FOR wearing hi-vis when I was out running.
He said it scared him (in his car) as he didn't know what that bright skeleton thing ahead of him was, and the bobbing up and down of the hi-vis on my jogging leggings and sleeves looked weird.

Mind he was a tw@ anyway.

Churchill being UK Insurance. Uk insurance being part of RBS Insurance. RBS Insurance being a division of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, and the second largest general insurance provider and the largest personal insurer by gross written premiums in the UK. RBS was ordered to sell the insurance business, under terms set out by the EU when the bank was bailed out by taxpayers in 2008. More than 50% must be sold by the end of 2013 and the entire group sold by the end of 2014.

The insurance business includes Direct Line Group, which includes such brands as Churchill, Privilege and NIG.
