Explanation

Under Article 118.4 of the General Traffic Regulations, drivers must put on the high-visibility reflective vest when they get out of the vehicle and go onto the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road outside built-up areas, both by day and at night. In built-up areas it is not compulsory.
