Triangle in the car

[PaulT]

In the latest issue of Living France in an article on vehicles the claim is made:

'All vehicles must contain at least one reflective high-visibility jacket and one red warning triangle kept inside the vehicle (not in the boot)'

Now I know about the jacket inside the car but never the triangle - is this a mistake or a new regulation?

The hi-vis jacket must be in the cabin such that the driver can put it on before s/he leaves the vehicle. The triangle does not have to be in the cabin: it can be in the boot. I'd vote for the quote from LF being a typo.
