Title: Spanish prostitutes ordered to wear reflective vests

Women touting for customers on a rural highway outside Els Alamus near Lleida in Catalonia have been told to don the yellow fluorescent bibs or pay fines of 40 euros (£36) under road traffic laws.

Police claim the sex workers on the LL-11 road are not being specifically targeted because of what they do but because they posed a danger to drivers.
 
The prostitutes are in breach of 2004 law which states pedestrians on major highways and hard shoulders must wear the high visibility garments.

Well, if they're going to go all out like that, might as well issue them shovels and a six-pack and tell 'em to fix potholes when they ain't horizontal.  :rotf:
