Correct answer
- CSí, antes de bajar del vehículo.Yes, before getting out of the vehicle.
Under Article 118 of the General Traffic Regulations, the driver must wear the reflective vest when they get out of the vehicle and are on the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road outside a built-up area. Put it on before getting out, so that you are visible from the first moment.
