As the RAC patrol people have been wearing dayglo orange outfits with those fluorescent strips for years, possibly decades, I think it’s time this urban legend was consigned to the history books (or the dustbin). It may have been true of the 70s, possibly even the 80s, but it’s been a while since we wore the same/similar uniforms.
