Do You Have To Wear A Hi-Vis Vest On Delivery?
I heard yesterday you had to. I never have and this week I was sweating as it is. Surely the red shirt in bright sunny weather is enough?

I wear mine all the time at work, it covers a multitude of sins 
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Do what's best for your safety.
When the temperature's 20 centigrade there's more of risk of heat exhaustion wearing it that being run over not.

Re: Do You Have To Wear A Hi-Vis Vest On Delivery?
What utter nonsense, a walking postie having to wear a hi-vis, in broad daylight, in hot weather, absolute nonsense, how come the dick splash at our place hasn't offered up this pearl of stupidity, I wonder.
Would be right up his street, the silly cant.

Re: Do You Have To Wear A Hi-Vis Vest On Delivery?
Apparently you are only entitled to 1 hi-vis a year and they cost £14 each according to one of our lineos.
Biggest load of bollocks I had heard come out of a LM mouth in 24hrs.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
