The summary of the new regulations will take effect on January 1. That means the reflective vest that must have all the cars that circulate in Chile since January 1, 2016. Two decades ago, something similar happened with another road safety measure: the third brake light.
The information is abundant, but this is the definitive summary made by Cohasset:
“Supreme Decree No. 164/2014 adds the reflective yellow vest to the other security elements that must be found in each motor vehicle to deal with emergency situations.”
Failure to comply with the wearing of the reflective safety vest will constitute a slight fault, which translates into a fine of 0.2 to 0.5 UTM. In pesos, that equals 9,000 to 22,400 pesos.
