Driving to france soon

[stevewool]

If you are going to drive to France from now on you will need one of these,
It is a sticker to put onto your window screen and if you dont you will be fined a £117 , so for just a few £££s to buy before your trip its got to be worth it.
I wonder if its going to be a big sticker to say you are British and then they can stone your car for leaving the EU :yikes:

Only need the sticker if you're driving in Paris, Lyon or Grenoble by the look of it :smile:

You are right Simon for now, but how long will it be before a french police officer will be waiting with a fine book and a credit card reader the other side of the water, Bretix and with this new revenue is good for France .

Typical drama from the press. This is something which has been in place in some German cities for a few years now.

All you need for Europe:
- Hi viz vests (keep inside the cabin, not the boot, French Police keen on this one)
- Last-aid kit
- Warning triangle
- GB sticker or plate
- Take original registration document (French and Italian police care more about ownership than insurance - ask me how i know...)
- Your insurance covers you third party for European countries (for now at least!)
- I always take, but have never used, breakdown insurance (and that includes many trips in TVRs)

Slightly :icon_offtopic:! Dunno about driving to France... :anerikke: ... but I was "driven to distraction" :23_111_9[1]: on being [almost] unable to log into the forum yesterday!

I love driving in France but with today's traffic it's just so busy everywhere,
Yesterday was a editing day with pictures.

What with Brexit etc,you might be better off ripping off the GB sticker and putting on fake frog plates.. (unless you really like eggs)
