Brickbat: Color of the Law

|

British horse riders have taken to wearing flousecent bibs when they ride on roads. The idea is to make themselves more visible to motorists and reduce the 3,000 accidents a year involving horses and vehicles. But police say anyone wearing such a bib could be mistaken for a police officer because mounted cops wear them, too. They've threatened legal action against both horse riders wearing the bibs and the companies that sell them.
