New French motoring rules

[ken_smith]

I have heard a rumour, that like Spain and Italy, you now need to cary reflective vests or jackets in your car, not in the boot, incase you break down on a motorway and need to walk to an SOS telephone. I also hear that you need 2 warning triangles!

Anyone else hear tell of this?

I think that has been the case for a while re the high vis vest and the warning triangle.

Good idea in general, I keep a high viz tucked under the passenger seat just in case, takes up no room but having had to change tyres at the side of the road makes me a little more visible.

same here Mark - although mine is an orange Alton towers rain coat

I can barely fit a toothbush in as it is, my car always looks like it is travelling at warp speed even if it is standing still

I will risk it

Would my PH's yellow Le Mans Keep the Beer near T shirt be reflective enough??? It should be still Luminous after wearing it for most of the week last year.

Do you need high vis jackets for everyone or just the driver??

I think pedestrians that you happen to pass are exempt!

In Spain its one for each occupant.

Still not had the French chnages, if any, confirmed.

I will have to have words with you, always being sarcastic about my posts Must keep up the good work

Everyone being every passenger in my automobile rather than every Franco-stroller and cow we happen to pass on La Autoroute
