The Council of State has just approved this measure, which will come into effect on 1 October. Out of town, at night or if visibility is insufficient, two-wheelers will have to wear the yellow or orange chasuble. &#8220;The majority of accidents occur when visibility is low,&#8221; says Cecile Petit, Interdepartmental Delegate for Road Safety. 20% of cyclists are killed or injured at night, at dawn or dusk. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The law already requires cyclists to equip their vehicles with lights at the front and rear, reflectors on their sides and pedals. &#8220;It&#8217;s not enough,&#8221; says Cecile Petit. The Cubic, Federation of Bicycle Users, confirms. However, according to its president, Christophe Raved, &#8220;the problem comes from bike manufacturers who do not put lights of good quality; they should be forced to more requirements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A fine of 35 Euros<\/p>\n<p>If the cyclist is in default of <strong><em>safety vest<\/em><\/strong>, he will be fined 35 Euros. In addition, if he is involved in an accident without a chasuble, how will the insurance react? &#8220;The Baiter law of 1985 protects them, no matter the circumstances,&#8221; says the French federation of insurance companies. This provision makes compensation for the victims of an accident, in the presence of a car, automatic for personal injury.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At a time when the bike is becoming more and more followers, the Cubic regrets nevertheless this measure: &#8220;The wearing of the vest is an unnecessary brake to the development of the bike. \u201c The <strong><em>road safety<\/em><\/strong> delegate believes, for its part, that&#8221; the state must protect road users, and the constraint is minimal &#8220;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Motorists were warned, cyclists less.
