Hi Viz, The French, et le bon sens

[fish]

I just read that the French have laws regarding riders - and hi viz.
It is an 11 Euro fine if a rider is stopped for a spot check and does not have a hi viz vest in his possession.
As for actually wearing a hi viz vest - the rider will be fined 135 Euros if he is not wearing it after a road-side break down (As you're high-siding though the French countryside - be thinking: "Je dois retourner à la veste avant l’arrivée de l’ambulance!" ("Gotta get back to the vest before the ambulance arrives!")

The rider regulations also require gloves (wearing them , I hope), reflectives on 4 sides of the helmet, a bulb set, 2 breathalyzers and a Pear Tree.

You probably aren't required to demonstrate that you can install the bulbs - but you will need to produce them for the officer, "Oui, juste ici!" ("Yep, right here!")


The French love to enforce rider safety.

Hmmm...well, maybe they can tell us where to get a square helmet, so we can stick reflector on 4 sides.
