I've ordered a hi viz waist coat to pack away. No harm in having one for £2. Stickers were about the same price.

Never had any issues myself and speaking to others it seems a rule which is not rigidly enforced much like the HI VIS vest bullshit and breath analyser rules.
Stupid laws, but get a grumpy gendarme and he will use it as an excuse. The breathalyser isn't worth nothing with as the fine is now €0. Go figure.

Space won't be an issue. I'll tuck the hi viz inside my spare pair of evening dress shoes.

They won't Cookie has some of my spare evening dresses at his place. He likes to pretend he's a princess living in a medieval castle, waiting for his knight to return from the crusades. Which I do, once a year.

Received my new tyre warmers and second-hand Sidi Vortice Boots :)

Very content with my purchases. Unlikely to use them before July though (doh)
