The regulations came into effect on January 1, 2016. It will cost you € 11 if you do not have it during a check by the police. What? It’s the safety vest or yellow motorcycle vest.

 

Note that it is not necessary to wear it, but simply to have it at hand in a storage or net. By cons, in case of emergency stop (accident, breakdown), you must wear the high-visibility vest if you get off your machine. Otherwise, you risk a fine of 135 €.

 

Remember that this is a measure that allows you to be visible to other road users in case of problems, because you become more vulnerable. Read our article on what is changing on January 1, 2016 for motorists and motorcyclists.

 

Reminder to motorists

A booster for motorists, the requirements of the high-visibility vest and the pre-signaling triangle remain valid. For fines, they are identical, namely: € 11 in case of immediate non-presentation of the triangle or reflective vest, in case of a road check. If you do not have both, you will be verbalized twice! You risk only one fine in this case.
