I don't think the debate is about being ASKED to wear a (Hi-Viz) jacket. It is about being COMPELLED to wear a (Hi-Viz) jacket.
My memory is a bit hazy but was it not Edmund Burke who is usually attributed with:
" All that is necessary for Risk Assessment Consultants, CYA Managers and their MWG Jobsworth enforcers to triumph is that good men do nothing"
I don't want to get over it. IMHO it is reasonable to expect that the people who make these rules should be happy to justify their decisions. I have still to see any cogent argument for making Hi-Viz compulsory.
