Why this is the correct answer
Article 118.4 of the General Traffic Regulations requires the car driver to wear a high-visibility reflective vest when getting out of the vehicle and standing on the carriageway or hard shoulder of an interurban road, by day or night. It is not mandatory for other occupants, although it is advisable for them to wear one too.
