    merc sprinters and similar size vehicles, anyone point me in the right direction for rules and regs on relective markings, also any vinyls recommended and/or short cuts to do this promptly as there may be a few vans to do?

    Hi John
    I don’t know what the regs are – but I know who does!
    Speak to Jan @ Avery Denison. Tel: 01628 764 160 Doubtless there will be an attempt to sell you some reflective!
    Another source for reflective: Carol @ Vinyl Logistcs Tel: 01636 613222
    and of course there are many others.
    Regards Dave Standen

    I’m very familiar with the use of reflectives in certain circumstances as they stood in July of this year, I assume thay haven’t changed. If you have a particular question I’d be happy to help if I can.
    There are certain materials that you cannot use on a non-emergency services vehicle for example.

    Edit-What’s going on with the spelling, man…..they they they?
