To ensure that you are prepared for an emergency, always carry
the following three rescue devices with you and make sure you
are familiar with how to use them.
First-aid kit
The first-aid kit should always be at hand and have a fixed positi-
on in your van. If things have been removed from the first aid kit
or used they must be replaced as soon as possible. Expiry dates
should be checked regularly.
High visibility jacket
Please refer to the British regulations for carrying and wearing
a high-visibility vest with white retro-reflective stripes in accor-
dance with EN 471 whenever you step outside the vehicle on
roads outside built-up areas or on the hard shoulder.
- come to a stop outside city limits on an obscure rural road
because of an accident or breakdown, if the view is poor due
to bad weather, in twilight or darkness, or
- when it must be secured by means of a warning triangle on
the hard shoulder of the motorway because of an accident or
breakdown.

you are driving through with regard to carrying and wearing
emergency equipment.
