How small is it?
"The boot is a tiny cubby hole under the nose cone which is attached with track car type clips. It’s too small for the mandatory French equipment of hi-vis jacket, warning triangle and breathalysers"
A warning triangle I can understand, even folded they can be quite large.
But I could fit a hi-vis and breathalyser in my coat pockets (one in each), that must be a *really* small compartment.
