The characteristic feature of the strip is that on at least one of the patches on which said vehicle is formulated as a film the said polymer has the structure (I), where n is the number of times that the structure within brackets is repeated and may be .gtoreq.100, and A is a straight or branched alkylene group having a length of 3-5 carbon atoms.
