Reflective vest for motorcyclists
The reflective vest, also called life-saving vest, has been mandatory by law since 2004. The Decree of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport establishes that whoever gets out of the car of a stationary vehicle in conditions of poor visibility (little lighting, fog, snow or heavy rain) is required to wear the vest.
It will be worn or positioned so that it can be within reach in case of an emergency. It can also be placed in a glove compartment, the important thing is that it is easily accessible: in the event of a breakdown or accident, the motorcyclist will have to put it on immediately to improve his visibility on the road.
Which one to choose?
The Highway Code foresees in article 162 the use of the reflective vest or high visibility retro-reflective braces.
What should the vest be like?
The Decree of 2003 established that jackets and suspenders must comply with the approval with the CE mark and the UNI EN 471 acronym.
