Question 3885

If your vehicle breaks down and you have to get out of it, in which of the following cases must you wear the reflective vest?

  1. When occupying the shoulder on roads outside a built-up area.
  2. Only when occupying the roadway or shoulder on freeways or high-capacity divided highways.
  3. When occupying the roadway on urban roads.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When occupying the shoulder on roads outside a built-up area.

You must put on a reflective vest when you get out of the vehicle and enter the roadway or shoulder of a road outside a built-up area, whether it is a freeway (autopista), a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), or any other road. It is not required on urban roads. In the image, the woman next to the broken-down car is wearing one.
