On the 1st October 2008 all vehicles driving in France (including vehicles registered outside of France) must have at least one high visibility reflective jacket in the vehicle. The penalty for failing to comply ranges from a 90 to 135 Euro fine - payable on the spot. In Belgium a similar law applies to motorways and major roads, and in Spain it apples to all motorways and busy roads.

In short almost all vehicles travelling to Continental Europe will need to carry at least one high visibility vest to prevent the driver falling foul of the local law. Thankfully these useful items of safety equipment are easy to obtain from your nearest participating A1 Motor Store.

A1 Motor Stores can offer AA branded adult high visibility vests from stock, and they are currently on offer at just 6.99 inc. VAT each.

Stay legal in Europe and reduce your chances of being involved in an accident if you have to stop on the road by equipping yourself with these AA High Visibility Vests before you set out.

COMPULSORY in France from 1st Oct. 2008
