Travel tips

All vehicles must carry a reflective safety-vest which must be worn by the driver at any time they have to stop on the shoulder of the road and get out of their vehicle. It should be kept in the passenger cabin of the vehicle – not the boot – so that it can be put on prior to the occupant of the car getting out and stepping onto the road.
