Question 5918

Is this driver required to put on a reflective vest?

  1. Wearing a reflective garment is required, but it does not have to be a vest.
  2. It is not required because it is daytime and they are on the shoulder.
  3. Yes, but they must put it on before getting out of the vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, but they must put it on before getting out of the vehicle.

Yes. If you get out onto the shoulder of a road outside a built-up area, you must wear the reflective vest, day or night. Put it on inside the car before getting out, as the driver in the picture is doing. It must be a certified high-visibility vest, not just any garment with reflective material.
