This has been in force in Spain for some time. When I went over
in 2006, I just bought a cheapo one from Lidl (about £2). A lot
of drivers there keep it slung over the back of the driver's seat.
(In spain you also have to carry a "danger" triangle, by law, too)

Also as I recall in Spain if you wear glasses you have to carry a spare pair
in the car.

It's the law in Germany

I just keep a spare pair as it seems a good idea

vest
