Bikers are housed in the same way as motorists regarding the possession of a safety vest. Whether you ride in two wheels, three wheels or quad, the yellow vest is mandatory.
The regulations came into effect on January 1, 2016. It will cost you € 11 if you do not have it during a check by the police. What? The reflective vest or yellow motorcycle vest.
Note that it is not necessary to wear it, but simply to have it at hand in a storage or net.
By cons, in case of emergency stop (accident, breakdown), you must wear it if you get off your machine. Otherwise, you risk a fine of 135 €.
Remember that this is a measure that allows you to be visible to other road users in case of problems, because you become more vulnerable. Read our article on what is changing on January 1, 2016 for motorists and motorcyclists
Reminder to motorists
A booster for motorists, the requirements of the high visibility vest and the pre-signaling triangle remain valid. For fines, they are identical, namely:
€ 11 in case of immediate non-presentation of the triangle or vest, in case of a road check. If you do not have both, you will be verbalized twice!
135 € in case of non-use of the triangle and / or vest. You risk only one fine in this case.
