Is it prohibited to use reflective paint on a vehicle?

Correct answer

Yes, it will be prohibited, unless expressly authorised

Yes, unless authorised. Article 15.5 of the General Vehicle Regulations prohibits unauthorised luminous or reflective paints or devices, subject to the cases and conditions in the regulations referenced by Annexes I and XI. Exceptions are not limited to mentioning priority vehicles and do not derive from a CAP certificate: CAP is a driver’s professional qualification, rather than permission for vehicle paint. Improving visibility alone does not authorise any material.
