Hailed as Hero

Yellow vest, red triangle fined station

As of today, each motorist must have his vehicle in a car yellow reflective vest and warning triangle. It is the law that requires it. If the equipment fails the constabulary can administer a fine of € 135, reduced to € 90 if paid on or within three days.

Cyclists that circulate outside the city at night or in bad weather conditions should in turn take their vest under penalty of a fine receive € 35 (€ 22 if paid within two weeks). Oddly, bikers and scooters have no particular obligation, even if wearing the vest is recommended.

 

If the need to own this equipment is known to all, yet its use remains surrounded by shadows. “We need to be smart and logical proof, says Captain Thierry DAVAUT, commander of the squadron departmental road safety Haute-Garonne. The vest, leave it in the cabin, in order to put before exiting the vehicle. “Thomas of Road Safety, said:” We see many people who put it on the seat back. Best avoided: the cars are increasingly equipped with side airbags at the sides of the seat: the vests can interfere when they break. “As for the triangle, the best place is the trunk:” If possible, not under a ton of bags, “continues the policeman, an ironic strand.

 

Moreover, it is not necessary to multiply the jackets for each vehicle occupant. One is enough. According to the Road Safety, the first returns seem to attest that drivers are massively equipped. In general, products sold in supermarkets, service stations, garages are quite reliable. Mistrust but if you buy on a market, or on the street.

On Monday, the DAVAUT captain, head of the departmental squadron road safety Haute-Garonne conducting a prevention campaign (and a few safety vests distribution) in Saint-Gaudens, gentle way to remind motorists the maturity date. But he has planned today to pass the sanction after prevention? There are no plans for now to organize traffic controls on this point in particular … unless instructed otherwise by the Ministry, meanwhile, “the officer nuance.” Perhaps we will be more severe, because now we have the possibility of violators fined. But we will not fall on the backs of motorists, however. We will also continue our mission of information. I think people have not yet understood all about using the vest and triangles. ”

In search of the lost triangle

 

For taxes, telephone, electricity, there is debit. A major invention for all giddy this world… including me. Yes but now, for the yellow vest and warning triangle, I have not received automatic parcel. So yesterday it was necessary go in search of a triangle with the standards. A triangle only, because for the vest, no problem: it floats in my astronomical quantities Carrefour gondola. This brave Karl Lagerfeld who played top model for the country Road Safety, would he not had the expected impact?

 

Anyway, I’m here for triangles. I walk up the aisle; I inspect right and left nothing. Oh yes, a salesman. ” We do more since June. “” Gosh! “” We receive some occasionally. It is the supplier, which is not enough. “No problem, I go to the next green light.”Ooh, we got 200 today and they left in an hour! “Well. Call next to the job, they should have it. It’s not worth it, they do not have, “says my colleague who visited it between noon and two. He finally was able to get one through a friend who went to get a snack. My word, you have to have sacred networks for tracking down this thing. I decided as a last resort to stop at a Shell station. “We did have seven or eight, but they are all gone. See tomorrow. “Yes, that’s right, and at the same time I will see my fine of 90 € … The phone cut my grumbling in flight. Oh by the way, I’ve taken a triangle with reflective tape out of the office. “It’s still good to have an automatic brain at home.
