Wireless LED Turn Signal Vest

Riding a bicycle is one of those activities that can be fun and beneficial to your health, but it can also be dangerous If you choose to ride on roadways with vehicular traffic.  Someone I personally knew was involved in a cycling incident that resulted in injury and hospitalization.  Most cycling incidents occur when turning, not being seen or after dark in low visibility conditions.  Turning incidents are the most common with riders being struck as they negotiate a turn.  Such incidents stem from the inability of motor vehicle drivers to see the cyclist intention to make a turn.  Simply stretching out your hands to indicate a desire to turn works in some cases where you can be easily seen.  However, in low visibility situations a wearable device like the Wireless LED Turn Signal Vest can save your life.  Safety wearables like the turn signal vest complement your outstretched arm and indicate clearly with high visibility LED light signal arrows of your desire to turn making you clearly visible to vehicular traffic and improving your safety on the road.

Verdict!

These products can a bit tricky to use in the real world. While most drivers will understand that a cyclist with an outstretched arm in a certain direction indicates they are about to turn, a vest worn by a cyclist with a flashing arrow may not be seen and could be misinterpreted. That’s why these devices should be used very carefully and along with the general outstretched hand signal to indicate your desire to turn. Cyclist should never rely on digital signals worn on a vest, backpack or even on the bicycle itself to warn traffic of your desire to turn, an outstretched hand signal can clearly be seen and should be your primary mode of communicating to vehicular traffic along with supplemental safety devices such as this vest.
