OBLIGATORY

The decision was made on February 13 by the Interministerial Committee on Road Safety (Comité Interministériel de la Sécurité Routière or CISR) to obliged users to be accustomed of vest retro-reflective safety and triangle of pre-signalisation (Gilet rétro-réfléchissant de sécurité et d’un triangle de pré-signalisation). This will be mandatory to help reduce the number of road deaths. The non-compliance with these new obligations will be liable to breach of the 4th degree (fixed fine of 135 euros, less than 90 euros). Reasons of using the vest retro-reflective safety and triangle of pre-signalisation is intended to reinforce the safety measures of drivers in all circumstances of emergency stop. The driver needs to be visible by other drivers during car breakdown. The vehicle in trouble must be reported immediately. As for the triangle pre-signs should be at any time aboard inside the vehicle. The driver needs to position it on the way as soon as he gets out of the car and with a distance of at least 30 metres for better signalisation of the obstacle and don't forget to put on your warning/emergency light because we can be definitely seen day or night . As far as I know when purchasing a new car it is already provided with warning triangles and yellow vest so I am already equipped.

With radar installation the quantity of road death decreases. In addition to this the struggle against drink-driving, the administration persists on its road to prevention. This time the usage of the aforementioned will take effect on July 1, a triangle of pre-signalisation and a retro-reflective vest will be mandatory inside all vehicles and not in the trunk. Let’s support this project to facilitate the safety and diminish grave accidents and deaths on the road. And to complete the campaign a slogan was created to remind all the users including reducing the risk of mowing pedestrians “C’est jaune, c’est moche, ça ne va avec rien, mais ça peut vous sauver la vie”.. (It is yellow, it is ugly, it doesn't go with anything, but it can save your life).

hmm, i didnt know it wasnt obligatory, yet, in france? di ba sa italy nga you need to wear that vest if you have car trouble or else ikaw magkakaron ng trouble sa police :) pero when you ask naman people where they have their vests, andun lahat halos sa likod ng kotse... not practical esp since you would need to run in the back of the car muna to get those vests, hayyy

That's a great idea. The vests coupled with the signage would make a stranded person more visible to passing motorists. I don't think the vests are mandatory here (it certainly doesn't come in a new car:)

WIL it surely is effective!

Before it was optional RAQGOLD they have it in the car but not everyone. I am glad it will be obligatory if that means to save life then it's worth to get used to it!

Helpful idea indeed JOANNE! This is also to make everybody aware that driving needs more and more safety measures to decrease and avoid accidents for both drivers and pedestrians.

Gadgets are now indispensable FRANCESCA for security measures. I've already mine when we bought the car 3 yrs ago.

No vest PINING I think they will implement that soon lalo dyan right hand drive di ba ?

OO nga ang dali ma out of stock ANALYSE. I needed to wait for a week to buy for husband because he has an old car therefore he doesn't the triangle though he got vests with him provided by PAM!
