Road safety: the yellow vest is now mandatory

This is the implementation of Decree No. 2015-514 of May 7, 2015 relating to the detention and wearing of the high visibility vest. It has long been a question of wearing a yellow safety vest to bikers. A measure is that was scandalous and had been abandoned. But failing to admit defeat, the government has returned to the charge but in a different way. Like motorists who must have a yellow vest in their vehicles, since January 1, motorcyclists must also have this device on them in the case of immobilization.

And it is a little because of these various reversals that many users are still lost on the final application of this decree. Let's make a point on what lies ahead.

So yes, from January 1st, 2016, the presence of the yellow vest on a motorcycle is mandatory. It must be under the seat or in his jacket so that it is at hand in case of emergency stop. In case of control, the non-presence of the device will cost you 11 Euros fine and in case of breakdown at the roadside, if you do not wear it, the bill will go up to 135 Euros fine. In the end, it's a simple alignment to the car ... The triangle less.

In any case, it is mandatory to wear it while driving, as is the obligation to have a second one for the passenger. Always in adequacy with the car, a single reflective vest with the CE norm is enough to be in legality (excluding common sense which would like that one has a second). On the other hand, the wearing of the armband, which could have been evoked at the time, is not allowed.

The majority of bikers are not excited about setting up this device. For many, they see this decree as the gateway to an obligation to wear it permanently (a bit like the technical control) but also, the lack of space on the bike makes them reluctant.
