It is because every car in France must have two safety vests for road breakdowns. They were already everywhere, just a very handy signal. And police can’t stop cars looking for protesters by yellow vests, since they are mandated to be there by law.

But they don’t want to be inconspicuous.

Much better optics than the all-black & ski-masks of ANTIFA.

Or the color balance on their cameras suck.

I do have to admit that the color yellow has often crossed my mind when thinking of France. But, this might be changing my mind.

If they roll out the hay carts again, I might start being impressed.

The yellow vests were well chosen.

Something I’d live to see: Some American deplorables going over to France to assist in peaceful protests. Returning the favor the Marquis de Lafayette did us a couple of centries ago.

Only the leaders of the movement know why they chose to wear them.

We spilled a lot of American blood in the trenches of France returning that favor. What’s the statute of limitations regarding returned favors?

Even if the returned favor expiration date is long past, I’d be happy to assist the French with Frexit. Vive les Deplorables!

The color Chartreuse comes to mind. Sounds kind of French to me.

The white on the vest could signify surrender, it is France after all.

The color Chartreuse comes to mind.

Which color chartreuse? There are two distinct colors of that name.

French WW1 casualties: 6,160,800.

Does this signify surrender?

Readily available I guess. I was wondering the same thing. That they’re required to have this is just another example of the over reach of government.
