I'm taking a trip down through Europe in the summer but have been told I need to use reflectors to make my headlights shine down to the other side of the road. Anyone got a link to where I can buy these?

Both are legal requirements. You even have to carry a first aid kit. And cars need to carry warning triangles. Bikes only need them if broken down on a motorway.

Thats a shame, which country is it a legal requirement for this to happen?

Think we should move the whole org there? :P

Yellow Volvo stickers? What on earth are they (owned 4 Volvos now and none had yellow stickers...):confused:
