N/A - Hi-Viz jacket needed in France from Jan 2016. - focussed

New law in France-All riders of machines over 125 cc must carry an approved hi-viz jacket or gilet and wear it if broken down at the side of any road.

€11 fine if asked to produce it and haven't got one.

€135 fine if broken down/stopped and you are not wearing it.

If you normally ride wearing hi-viz you don't have to carry another one.
