Edit: as you’ll see by reading the rest of the thread, I’m finding the lettering amusing. Not the vest or its high visibility.

We are seeing more and more of these all over the place.
When working our Construction Sites you gotta have HiViz vest as well as other PPE or you aren't allowed on the property.

These are a great idea but people shouldn't assume that the wearer is indeed a licensed commercial drone pilot. I've heard a few stories of people buying these as a shortcut hoping they won't be challenged or if they are at least blag it saying they left credentials at home etc etc...
Required to use in some areas on some jobs believe it or not. Might seem funny to a hobbiest but they do come in useful for the professional making money.
"All over the place" has never been more true. Check out this news article from The Telegraph. The world's gone mad.

I guess I’m going to get into a fight here.
To start with I think the big huge FAA lettering followed by the much smaller lettering completing the sentencing appears to be a little bit buffy. ;-). Like trying to look a little too official.
The do not disturb part isn’t a bad idea. But does one really need to advertise that they are licensed? These are just my opinions. I know people will disagree but hopefully not take offense. But my personal style wouldn’t feel the need to brag that I’m licensed. Maybe I’m missing a good reason to put that on your back. But as someone else pointed out, there is no validation that it’s true. It just feels to me like a dose of self importance. Doesn’t make the wearer a bad person. But different things strike different people funny.
I think the original purpose was nothing more than to get people to leave you alone when you're flying

In my eyes, if it stops just one know-it-all subassembly of a feminine irrigation product from interfering with a flight and wasting precious time and battery resources, and/or at least slows down Officer Cartman and his ilk, it will have done its job sufficiently, typography notwithstanding.
But that's just my opinion.
The truly suave may consider (in addition to the vest) wearing credentials on a neck strap, like members of the press.
As I said. That’s not a bad idea. But the rest seemed a little over the top. You asked so I’m just explaining. No offense intended to those who made or own it. Some of my fellow USCG volunteers (we were called USCG Auxiliary) tried to make their own uniform service tapes to downplay the word auxiliary. I thought that was kind of funny too.
This is a pretty good idea. If you do get questioned, you don’t need to land in order to dig it out of your wallet. And that’s more legit too.
This is a great post for many reasons. The best part is the Cartman reference. I work with a few Cartmen on my department.
At the moment I use a regular safety vest without any, um, presumptuous, writing or labeling on it, and even that does seem to help. Honestly it's amazing what you can get away with in general when you're wearing a safety vest. You can up the cred ante a bit with a well-worn hard hat. If you find one on the side of a highway that bounced out of the bed of a truck, it's probably perfect.
