Under France’s Code de la Route, all motorists are legally required to keep a set of mandatory safety items in their vehicles. The Local reports that these regulations apply to every driver on French roads, including foreign visitors bringing their own cars into the country. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in a financial penalty.
The rules are enforced to ensure that all vehicles operating within the nation maintain the same safety standards. Motorists are advised to ensure they have the necessary equipment prepared before travelling to avoid risk of a fine.
