Get seen — Use reflective tags or clothing!
If you are out and about after dark: get seen — use reflective tags or clothing! It will be easier for drivers to see you, both in traffic and when you are waiting at the stop.
Why you should use reflective tags or clothing:
- Without reflective tags or clothing, you will not be visible until the other person is 25–30 metres away, but if you have reflective tags on your person, you will be visible from 140 metres away when the car is using low beams.
- By using reflective tags or clothing, you can reduce your chances of cars hitting you by up to 85 percent.
Tips for using reflective tags:
- Hang it at around knee-height. At this height, it will catch as much light from the headlamps as possible.
- Choose tags that move around if you can — they are the most visible.
- Put reflective tags in the pockets of all your outerwear. That way you won’t forget them!
