Question 8227

The driver of a passenger car must wear a high-visibility reflective vest when leaving the vehicle and occupying...

  1. the roadway of roads outside built-up areas, but not the shoulder.
  2. the roadway or shoulder of roads outside built-up areas.
  3. the roadway or shoulder of any type of road, both urban and outside built-up areas.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the roadway or shoulder of roads outside built-up areas.

A passenger car driver must wear a vest when getting out of the vehicle onto the shoulder or roadway of a road outside a built-up area, even during the day. The shoulder counts just like the roadway, and wearing it is not required on urban roads. In the image, a woman is wearing it next to her car on the shoulder.
