As you are aware the goverment is making it a law that we must wear a traffic vest when on a highway. This is and has been a part of our sop but it still makes me think. Is it just me or does it not make use more likely to get injured not if but when a car that is on the scene of a mva burst it to flames and we go running up to put the fire out and our little orange vest burst into flames. I have checkeed and hve not found a sourse for one that will with stand the same temp as my turn outs.
