"(And woe betide if you don't have a hi-viz vest in the car cabin)."

I carry one in the pocket on the back of the drivers seat,
always handy if needed.

Why don't they like them in the car cabin ?

And what do you do if you have an estate / Station wagon ?

500N, I suggest you re-read what was written...

(And woe betide if you don't have a hi-viz vest in the car cabin)
{my bold}

Hi-viz vests for all occupants must be carried in the car cabin and within reach without getting out of the vehicle. The reason being that if you have to stop at the side of a main road (e.g. breakdown) all occupants of the vehicle MUST put on a hi-viz before getting out of the vehicle.

Who said the French were not into Elfen Saftea?

the Frogs won't like you
I'd be more concerned about Brits.
Drove a French reg car into the UK one evening recently and was assailed by some English oiks pulling alongside to stbd and shouting 'Froggie' comments.
I was on the wrong side to provide a riposte in Jockinese

Modern army regiments - eg the Chav Cav - don't once around with swords
AAC - formed in 1955 - swords and spurs.

"once around"??? Is someone taking the p ..........

complete with the rather ridiculous Busby,
... which I think was designed as a loose symbolic representation of a flying helmet!

So perhaps Trim Stab is right!
Well if they must insist on dressing up, how about leather hat and goggles?

Please, no, don't encourage him or he might come back.
