Blokes in trucks in fluro shirts (Transport III)

s
When I drive about I see lots of blokes driving around in trucks - usually 3 - and all wearing the fluro shirts that road workers, manual workers and delivery drivers wear nowadays (an OH & S measure no doubt, to ensure they are visible). This is the intersection of Redfern & Chalmers Sts, Redfern.

  2. It just dawned on me that you guys drive on the wrong side of the road. I wonder where that all got started at anyway?

    Nice photograph and while the explanation of the shirts was great I didn't see any of them shirts. Is it possible they will be posted tomorrow?

  5. These workers simply glow for a solid reason, the kangaroo will never taste such a bad fluorescent grass when they fall asleep.

  6. Yes, I also saw a lot of them, but never paid attention what they wear. But now I see that you are right.

  7. I think they also don't like those fluro shirts, but it's their uniform. They have to wear it in order to be visible.

  8. Wrong or right side of the road - it depends on the country. If it's England or Australia - then it's ok.

  9. whoever got these shirts passed as legislation and then manufactured them in china is a wealthy man today,and obviously doesnt have to wear one. reasons being,they are made of cheap awful material are hot, uncomfortable and attract wasps and bees.also after a period ,they fade.
