BDifficulty 2/5

In a private car that is not serving as an escort vehicle, must an additional reflective vest be carried for each passenger?

Correct answer

No

No. The general equipment requirement in Annex XII of the General Vehicle Regulations includes one vest, rather than one per occupant. Carrying vests for everyone and wearing them when entering a hazardous area is recommended, without exposing anyone to danger to retrieve them. Distinguish this general requirement from specific duties for escort-vehicle drivers and auxiliary personnel.
