Correct answer

Under Article 118.4 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), the driver must put on the high-visibility reflective vest when getting out of the vehicle and stepping onto the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road outside built-up areas, both by day and by night. On roads in built-up areas it is not compulsory.
