When I drive in France it's normally in the Westfield. Not sure where I'm supposed to stash these jackets or how I'm supposed to put them on while sitting in the car. Guess I'll have to drive with one on next. :-*

Always have a hi-vis jacket and hi-vis vest in the car -- never know when I am going to be prancing around on country lanes -- so when I do get run over I would like the offending driver to be able to see where I land !

As mentioned above it is pain in the neck the law is not the same accross the continent. Something that in one country is compulsory in other is recomended in third not even mentioned. In order to be safe everywhere you should have: first aid kit, triangle, a box of light bulbs,  fire extingusher, hi-vis vest (jacket) for every person in the car (though I have only two) and the vests should be easy to get hold of from your seat. Winter time: winter tyres and advisable but depends on roads: chains.
