I have spent a while trying to find a WARNING SIGN (that's what I call it☺☺) for the rear of the MH. It is to put up attached to my scooter on the bike rack. They are RED & WHITE stripes (Diagonal) on a square board. Can any one advise me where I can buy one. Thanks I advance.

Yes as you say Alf there is a bit more to it than that, Type of material, white and red reflective size etc. I have never bothered before but I think they may be a bit more vigilant now. :drive: :drive:
 
Surely you can buy reflective red tape & reflective white tape?

In my experience you generally have to be pretty obnoxious to wind a Bobby up enough to be that pedantic, altho, his Sergeant may have already done that for you I suppose! :)
 
rear bike sign

the sign needs to be 50cmx50cm min.in europe they are called a "panello".the french police are very keen at the mo,so be warned.think its a 90euro on the spot fine.
 
I think you are only allowed red reflective material on the rear of a vehicles .

That`s how i understand it as well.

Red on the rear............ White / Clear on the front..............Amber on the sides.


But i`m sure someone will be along shortly to say that i`m completely wrong....................... LOL
 
Not 100% but sure there was something on another forum that in Italy the whole sign must be reflective and pointing down diagonally to the overtaking side, this means that my plastic one with the four reflectors in each corner is no use have to get the ally one,
 
Just like to say that I spent yesterday morning making and fitting my sign, if its not necessary I do not care, if it makes me more visible that to me is good, just got to remember to turn it when we cross the channel. :drive: :drive: DSCF7360.jpgDSCF7359.jpg
 
I think you will find that they have to point to the overtaking side in Italy and Spain, as for France they could point any were but as they all drive on the same side it makes sense I think :drive: :drive:
 
I think you might find the white should not be reflective as it is classed as showing a white light to the rear,as for motorcycle clothing that is totaly different as it is not attached to the bike. Feel free to Google relevant legisletions. High vis colours are allowed but not reflective except red.
 
Look up the UK regs as I would assume thats were most of us are . I dont really gi e a monkeys abou French Law. and if Ineed to put stickers all over £500 worth of helmet then i will just keep getting the ferry to spain.
 
OK in the uk cars pass on the drivers side, so the board in the picture has the centre strip pointing to the top right, in Europe the cars pass on the passengers side of a right hand drive car, because we are on the other side of the road so the board has to be turned round to make the centre stripe point to the leftDSCF7360.jpg If in had time I would go and change it over. :drive: :drive:
 
right.... even im on same page now ... dave well explained cant argue with that one ....or can you???:anyone:
btw didnt know about the law existed in different countries
