I wear a high viz vest when I ride. I noticed a big difference in how drivers responded once I started wearing it.

But the strangest thing started happening. Whenever, I'd be parking my scooter with my helmet on, I'd have multiple people ask me for directions. I found it a bit odd, but I live in China and I'm used to overlooking that which does not make sense.

It was not until a friend made a comment that the vest makes me look like one of the traffic police, that it finally clicked.
