One Night, I Took A Jeepney Ride On My Way Home And I Overheard The Driver Say..

If people would put some on their shoes or down the side of there pants or on a shirt they would show up better too.

wearing some reflective is a good thing that is being practiced in your area. the idea of doing this, must be be introduced in the philippines, too.

that is what we call as a danger area. people would best avoid being in such a spot for long. putting some reflectors therein will help the drivers in identifying that dangerous spot in the evenings.

oh, sure, aphroditei, those flourescent bracelets will be perfect in making us more visible in the evenings. it is also a good idea to match light and dark colored clothing.

I think this are good tips to follow and they won't harm your sense of fashion. And of course, you can still enjoy your nightlife. Thank you for the BR mark Trinidad! Have a great day! (^^,)

even if i were in your place, i will surely adopt the kind of attitude that you have about preferring to stay home rather than going anywhere else.

definitely, that is a wise move, senses. you remind me that authorities will not run after persons in light outfits at night, in cases where there will be a crime commtted.

it's good to know that i am being of help to some by posting this discussion. thank you for this heartwarming remark, sick4muzick.

yes, i agree with you that this is a perfect way of making yourself visible at nights whenever, you are out on the road biking.

it is true that we cannot rely fully on the street lights and the headlights of cars at night. there are times when people will appear to be just shadows in the evenings. this is among the reasons which most offending drivers give when they get into some sort of evening accident/s. i can see that you are are an extra careful person, my friend, to be taking all these precautions whenever going out in the evening.

enrironmentalists will tell you that white is best to wear during hot days because that will reflect almost all of the heat back to the atmosphere. then the traffic guys will tell you that it is good to wear at night because, it will reflect so much of the light that strikes you at night. this may be the reason why many of us prefer to wear white against all other colors.

you are confirming now that it is really advantageous if people wear light coloered get ups in the evenings. i have been into the habit because, as i have said, i heard the traffic enforcers campaign for it on tv. now, i have more reason for doing so because, of this comment that you have given me now.

yes, it is a good thing that we do it. it is so easy to comply with, after all.

take good care alwyas of yourself, jhaspher. no one among us here will ever think that an accident shall happen to you. each one of us here, hopes that only the best of things in life shall come along the way of all mylotians. May the good Lord take good care of you always and keep you away from any harm.

anyway, it pays to know better.

how right you are, my friend. it is always best that we stay home as dark sets in unless, there is something important that we have to do in the evenings somehwere else.

we have to admit the fact that drivers are responsible for the lives they have with them in their vehicles, as well as, for those lives of the people on the road. the people on the road will have to help the drivers see them on a much easier level, though. if we are wearing dark clothing, then we can hold something white when we are out in the road in the evening. a white plastic bag is good enough help. another problem with pedestrians is their habit of crossing the streets without much care when, it appears to be quite deserted of traffic. they tend to forget that this is also the time when, drivers become careless, thinking that there are no more people walking on the deserted road. pedestrians must instead take extra care if on the streets in the evenings, on roads devoid of traffic as reckless drivers abound in the evenings. us, pedestrians, will have to think of being on the safer side at all times because, vehicles can kill us but there is no way that we can kill vehicles.

yes, you'd better start wearing those lighter tops whenever you go out in the evenings or in the afternoons wherein there is a possibilty that the night will catch up with you.

this is true. i believe that by now it is common knowledge that, the color which is easiest to identify, even in the dark,is orange. but it is sufficient that light colored tops shall be worn when out in the streets at night.

well, it appears that it is better for us to wear light colored clothes always. when the sun is hot, it reflects the heat, when the evening comes, it makes us more visible.

that is really the idea behind the campaign of the traffic enforcers when they did that.

i am glad to be of help, micamyx.
