In 2014 alone there were something like 5,500 deaths or life-changing injuries in the UK as a result of pedestrian traffic collisions with another 18,000 to a lesser extent. High Viz is not a marketing gimmick. It's the only thing that separates you from being smashed to bits by the car that didn’t see you. The car doesn’t have to be moving fast at all, because they tend to weigh about 2 or 3 tons, but hey, who drives under the speed limit? We did this video with Dr Laura Thompson, to highlight the realities from a medical perspective. 

High-viz allows runners to be seen from a distance of 90 feet that allows for braking or manoevering and can cost under £5. Be safe, wear high-viz.

There are no excuses.
