You’ve loaded your car for a camping trip, and some of the bags are dark coloured. You’ll be walking a short distance on an unlit country road at dusk to reach your campsite. To help drivers see you as you unload and walk with your bags, what should you do?

Explanation

The Highway Code (Rule 3) advises that you should help other road users to see you. In poor daylight conditions you should wear or carry something light-coloured, bright or fluorescent, and in the dark you should use reflective materials such as armbands, sashes or jackets. This is especially important when loading or unloading a vehicle at the roadside, as it allows drivers using headlights to see you from much further away, reducing the risk of a collision.
