Does anyone know.......

The legalities (ie: what's allowed) re: high viz reflective stripes on vans?

I have just acquired a jet black sprinter van and i'm hoping to make it a bit more visible.

Possibly a simple "box" around the back and stripes along the sills.

Would it be legal? Anyone know?

I think it's a legal requirement if your work entails you stopping on the highway, some advice here,

or contact rema.org.uk for more info.

Just to add, do not use white reflectives on the rear of the vehicle

Wow, thanks very much!

The van is just an ordinary use vehicle but after I un-cerimoniously broke down in my car last week, it made me stop and think just how big a hazard the van would be in the same circumstances.
