Is this for walking men or for drivers?

I heard a while ago that if a driver is on the motorway then they have to have a yellow high vis as it is illegal to wear orange high vis on the motorway but never got it confirmed. But saying that I wear Green as I am a first aider :dance

Goodness knows. The first ones issued years ago were yellow. The way it's going, the only way anyone will stand out is by not wearing a high-viz vest or coat.

Presumably :lfo :cfo found another 100k in the old biscuit tin under the bed. Another one I will attack with a pair of scissors when i get issued with it, always put two large rips in it so I can put rubber bands etc in my jacket pocket when I'm out, more cheap s***e that will fall apart fast no doubt :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

As long as there sleeveless I don't mind what colour, first ones we got where yellow but had sleeves becuse they didn't make them without. A pair of scissors soon sorted that problem out. :dance
