Yes, it's the law. Though she flouts the law in many ways, she probably does keep a yellow vest or two in her cars... and because they are yellow. Plus she will like to be seen doing the right thing in order to prove she's being a responsible adult. In France, drivers are subject to fines of €100 for not carrying high visibility safety vests in their car. Rental cars, vans etc are also required to have them in stored in the car trunk/boot. The French police like to stop drivers to check, especially those just coming off the ferries or channel tunnel. It's a good little money earner for them. It's viewed as a sneaky little law that most tourists are not aware of. But I'm reminded of that time when Snorts went dashing across the road to save a hedgehog from being squished. By law, that was illegal without him wearing a yellow high vis vest. Save the hedgehog- squish Snorts instead!I know another question. But does everyone carry a yellow emergency vest in their car like Fanny was wearing when she totally blamed Steven Fry for her running out of gas....???
Much thanks to ComtesseRose for the new thread. Superb, as always.
