Captain Colonial Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Not going, but I seem to remember that not only do you need a hi-viz vest, it must be kept in the passenger compartment where you can put it on before stepping out of the car. Having it in the boot as not good enough and they can fine you. Can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I wonder how that applies to a Westfield? Yes officer, here's my hi-vis, casually turns in seat and reaches into boot box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 same goes for anyone else in the car who wishes to get out by the roadside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Not only people carriers - any vehicle driven by a Frenchman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seams to me that every person in France owns a Citroen or Peugeot people carrier. Only kidding! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Do you know, that when I first started to go to France ALL cars and vans and lorries were French. Not only Renault, Peugeot and Citroen but Simca, Panhard, Talbot, Bonnet and of course, Facel Vega. Now the French made cars are in a minority with VW group cars everywhere and Ford, BMW etc. Italy was even worse. If you stood on a street corner in Rome in the 60's you would only see Fiats, You would probably have to stand there for hours before something else went past and that would probably be a tourist.

Don't generally find the M20 a haven of sanity after returning from France I'm normally quite nostalgic for the French people carriers by the time I reach the M25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
