The nanny state is alive and well... but will it actually cause more accidents. I ride a bicycle and a motorbike most days. What I see is that riders with fluoro vests are often seen by motorists who immediately decide they must be learners/less experienced riders... and therefore must be overtaken at all costs.
Its a bit more obvious when riding the bicycle, and often I fear more correct. But it does paint you out as safety conscious. My riding style is more "dominant" on the road where I seek to demand my space, this I believe gets it for me more effectively. Not aggressive mind you, just in control and not about to fold. Sitting with a flouro begging for mercy is not likely to get that white van showing more consideration in my view.
