In case you haven't heard (and I didn't know), just picked this up
from the Rover 75 and MG ZT Owners Club forum. A later post suggest
that it applies in most other European countries as well (except UK -
yet):

"A new law (applicable now) means any person planning to drive in
France must carry a reflective jacket from now on. In an emergency,
the jacket must be easily accessible by the driver and must be put on
before leaving the car, day or night, regardless of visibility. As of
1 October 2008, any person found not complying will face a 135 euro
fine (90 euro if paid early).


I've been carrying a couple for two years now - better move them out of
the boot
