Correct answer

  • CSí, antes de salir del vehículo.Yes, before getting out of the vehicle.
Explanation

Put on the reflective vest before getting out of the vehicle, so that you are seen from the moment you step onto the carriageway. It is compulsory when you get out onto the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road outside a built-up area, including to help at an accident, and it is advisable on any road.
