There is one decided advantage, though. I seem to be mistaken for a cop on occasion, as sometimes people seem to take my directions as orders. Perhaps it's because of the high use of hi-viz by European police agencies, or the recent pilot programme using such in Toronto?

When I used to wear my old Aerostich 'Mountie Suit' (red jacket and black pants) I got asked if I was a 'professional rider', whatever that meant.

Toronto Police on their test fleet of BMWs. Note the similarity of the jacket. I also wear a Schuberth C3.
