Due to my curtainsider technique of backing on the bay then pulling forward a bit and getting inside me curtains to undo the internal straps, I thought the other day this is a bit risky as I can’t really be seen very well by anyone who wants to back on the bay either side.
I was just wondering if anyone wears hi viz trousers (preferably ones with only one stripe, I’d rather not look more of a plonker than I already do) and if they could recommend any, although with summer coming I may need HI Viz socks for when the shorts come out…
I doubt you’ll find ones with just one stripe. Don’t they have to have 2 bands to be compliant? Pointless making a pair with only 1 as there’s no point buying them.

I think i may have a pair of Slade socks in the drawer.
I"ll dig em out and you can have them
Thanks for the info, I’m looking at a pair with the two stripes on probably in navy or black.
Just worried some bright spark at an RDC see’s me wearing these and thinks, thats intersting lets make it compulsory for everyone.

Forget the socks on shorts days, brush this on your legs
Also suggest this to your H&S crew and I will guarantee they will take it seriously

Definately going to mention that all drivers arriving at RDC’s in shorts have to apply a bit of this to their legs. Bring your own colours will also be allowed for those who want to get a bit artistic.
If a driver backing onto a bay either side of you is blind enough to scrape down the side of your trailer then I doubt he’ll even register the pair of orange legs hanging out of the curtain!

I may not have thought this through
Bin day by us and noticed the binmen had on exactly the trousers I was thinking of, not a problem though but may look into firemans trousers (so to speak) as the wife would also like that as well.
