Ban The Hi-Vis “Polite” Vest

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There is an ever growing number of motorcyclists that have decided to wear a vest that says “Polite Notice, Think Bike” this should be classed as police impersonation as it very closely resembles that worn by the actual police motorcyclists.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Ban Hi-Vis Jackets with the "Polite Notice" Slogan that Simulate Police Attire.
