Wearing bright, reflective clothing might not be ‘cool’ but it’s safer

Q: Motorcyclists, as well as cyclists and pedestrians, are made safer when wearing bright, reflective clothing. Maybe it’s not a “cool” look, but you’ll be more visible and live longer.

Craig King

A: Motorcyclist visibility is essential. I’m not the right person to comment on the “coolness” of bright, reflective clothing for motorcyclists, so will leave that to others.

Q: Most pedestrian deaths are at night. This can be fixed quite easily. Cell phones come with flashlights. I’d suggest we have a law requiring you to use a flashlight or your cell phone’s flashlight when you’re crossing the street at night.

It’s just common sense.

Jim Wissick

A: Using a flashlight while crossing the street at night is a good idea, even without a law

Q: A bicyclist can be in the traffic lane for many valid reasons. Perhaps they are planning to make a left turn. Or there may be obstacles in the bike lane which make the bike lane unusable for a stretch. (A pile of leaves may look innocuous to a driver, but could hide a serious hazard to a cyclist.) You can be sure, however, that bicyclists are not in the vehicle lane just to annoy you!
