Correct answer
- BNo.No.
Explanation
Article 118.4 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) requires the driver of a car to put on the reflective vest when getting out of the vehicle and stepping onto the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road outside built-up areas. The rule does not place this obligation on passengers, although it is advisable for them to wear one too.
