Driving in France - New legal requirement to carry high-visibility jacket and warning triangle
Since 1 July 2008, it has been the law in France to have a high-visibility jacket and a warning triangle in all vehicles in France.
This safety measure will protect all drivers at the scene of a road traffic accident. You don’t want to become another casualty!
The law does not apply to motorcycles, though it is highly advisable to carry them with you when possible.
Fines – between €90 and €135 – will apply from 1 October 2008.
