johnhere Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 As from the 1st July it is compulsory to carry a fluorescent jacket and a triangle in your vehicle in France. A jacket for every passenger. Fines are:- 90 euros PER ITEM, so four up and no triangle is 450 euros Jackets can be sleeveless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtrev Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 In Germany if you are using the autobahn you have to have a triangle, hivis jacket, 5 litres of fuel, a first aid kit, 20 euros (to pay on the spot fines) and if you wear glasses you need a spare pair. Its about time the French caught up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash_gadgeteer Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 They should bring the same policy in over here. The amount of RTC's my wife (a paramedic) goes to where people have been hit after breaking down, begs belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
