From the 1st of July 2008 on, car drivers in France will have to have in their car a warning triangle and a reflecting jacket permitting a better visibility in case of breakdown or accident.
The non respect of this obligation can be fined with 90 €. As from the beginning of September, this measure might also be applicable to cyclists who will have to wear it permanently when cycling by night outside agglomerations.
However, the decree making this rule mandatory hasn’t been published yet.
