Are passengers of a car legally required to have a reflective vest as part of the vehicle's equipment?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is no; legally, the obligation to carry a reflective vest as vehicle equipment falls solely on the driver. There must be at least one approved vest within reach of the driver from their seat. However, there is an important safety nuance: if a passenger needs to exit the vehicle and occupy the roadway or shoulder on interurban roads, they are required to wear it. Therefore, while passengers are not required to 'have' one as equipment, if they do not have access to one, they cannot legally exit the vehicle in the event of a breakdown or emergency on the highway. It is highly recommended to carry one for each seat.
