If you must exit your vehicle and occupy the roadway or shoulder on an interurban road due to a breakdown or emergency, is it mandatory to wear a reflective vest?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is absolutely mandatory. According to the General Traffic Regulations, drivers of passenger cars (as well as freight or passenger transport vehicles) must use a high-visibility reflective vest that is properly homologated (certified) when exiting the vehicle and occupying the roadway or shoulder on interurban roads (outside of built-up areas). Key points for the exam: Location: The vest must be kept inside the passenger compartment (within the driver's reach) because it is mandatory to put it on before exiting the vehicle. Conditions: The rule applies both day and night. Visibility is crucial at all times to prevent people from being run over. Homologation: Not just any bright garment is valid. It must be a certified vest that guarantees visibility from a minimum distance of 150 meters.
