The Road Safety Authority in Ireland has confirmed that it intends to make hi-viz clothing compulsory for all motorcyclists from 2014.
The Motorcycle Action Group (UK) requested confirmation yesterday after the RSA told a reporter on Belfast newspaper ‘News Letter’;
“…at present the RSA’s preference is for the voluntary wearing of high visibility jackets rather than compulsion.”
