What must a driver wear when exiting the vehicle on the road?

When exiting a vehicle on the road, the driver must wear a reflective safety jacket to ensure visibility and safety, particularly in low-light conditions or during poor weather. This type of jacket is designed to make the wearer more visible to other road users, especially when they are near or on the roadway. Proper visibility is crucial for the safety of both the individual exiting the vehicle and other drivers, as it helps to prevent accidents.

While options like a helmet or safety gloves may be important in certain contexts (like cycling or construction), they do not provide the same level of visibility as a reflective jacket when standing on or near a road. Similarly, vests with reflective strips also enhance visibility, but the specific terminology of "reflective safety jacket" is more commonly used in road safety regulations. This distinction ensures that drivers are following the best practices for safety when outside their vehicle on a roadway.
