Anything red as long as its not a triangle is what I made of what it says in the manual?

Anyone else?!

If you get the ones on sticky foam pads you need to watch out for edges. Fix is to just glue them on direct.

Would reflective tape cut to any shape, similar to that fitted to the perimiter of hgv's, be acceptable do you think??

The rules for reflectors are very relaxed for some reason.

any number, red, not triangular, no e mark/bs number requirement.
Having said that reflective tape might be considered non-permanent so I'd stick some 50p bike reflectors on at the same time even if just for the test.

They didn't like the angle of mine at Nottingham so i had to put extra ones on for the retest. He said although there was no specific mentioned about them in the manual he felt they weren't going to be of any practical use.
