Default car bulbs in France

Isn't the "requirement" something of an urban myth? I thought it was
more that French coppers were less tolerant of letting you drive on
after they'd pointed out a blown bulb. See eg
http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice..._equipment.pdf So if you
don't carry spare bulbs you may have to call someone out to change
one. But AIUI you can't be done simply for not carrying the bulbs
(unlike the fluorescent jacket).


You can't put ..... in the middle of a hyperlink or it won't work.

It *is* a requirement for driving in Croatia, but not France, although it is
reccomended.
Warning triangles and one refelctive jacket per car are compulsory in France
