No problem and I'll be happy to help you out with the 'big' words in it.

Wrong it is also motorcycles, I'll dig the legislation out when I've got a minute.

Please do as this official French Govt website says otherwise

From that website

Oh jeez, in English that would be the semantics of if its poor visibility ie fog..at 100m

What it says, in something approaching English, is that....

The obligation to carry a warning triangle and reflective safety vest doesn't apply to cyclists, motorcyclists and trike or quad bike riders. However, cyclists (note: not motorcyclists*) are subject to laws which require them to wear a reflective safety vest outside built-up areas at night or in conditions of reduced visibility.

*my note.

Sorry but you are incorrect.

Cependant, tout conducteur ou passager d’un cycle est soumis à l’obligation de porter un gilet de haute visibilité hors agglomération, la nuit et le jour lorsque la visibilité est insuffisante.

conducteur in context with the paragraph = driver

cycle in context with the paragraph = cyclomoteurs


cycle (english) = velo (french)

Je suis navré qu'on ne s'accorde pas mon vieux mais je suis persuadé que dans tous les documents de ce genre 'cycle' veut dire 'vélo' - notez que le mot 'vélo' n'apparrait point dans le texte!

Only pedal 'cyclistes' have to wear reflective jackets outside built up areas at night or in poor vis - honest - check with any 'auto-école' that does bike training.

And - as you probably know - nobody does anyway because this is France we're talking about, spiritual home of the disregarded regulation!

Anywho - we have to play nice coz that scary bloke with a gun (or is just a silly hat?) said so.
