British motorists are not legally obliged to carry such products when in the UK, but it may be worth considering their safety benefits and potential power to help with car insurance claims.

According to statistics compiled by Icu-ucme.com, which sells high-visibility vests, someone wearing a fluorescent jacket is likely to be seen by a motorist three seconds sooner in the dark than someone who is not. At 30mph, this is a distance of 42 metres.

Naturally it is impossible to provide a comprehensive list of every European country, however this information is provided in good faith and we hope of use to you.
