===== Description =====
The Hi viz mast is a solution for being seen by cars and other traffic.

A reflector on two poles that slots into the plugged holes in the seat back: white to the front, red to the rear. Designed by Gus Desbarats. The AA, //Which?// and the Dutch authorities all said it should have been standard; //Which?// found the masts on its test vehicles snapped.
