Correct answer
Yes, before leaving the vehicle.
If you stop your vehicle on the hard shoulder of an interurban road because of a breakdown, Spanish road regulations require you to put on the reflective vest before leaving the vehicle. This safety measure is crucial to ensure that other road users can see the driver, especially in low-light or reduced-visibility conditions. The reflective vest significantly increases the likelihood of being seen by other drivers, reducing the risk of accidents or being hit when leaving the vehicle.
