Visiting France?

[Techno22]

All vehicles in France will have to be equipped after July 1 2008 with a warning triangle and a reflecting waistcoat. The non-observance of these obligations will be liable to a fine of 90 euros minimum!

Tous les véhicules circulant en France devront être équipés au 1er juillet 2008 d'un triangle de pré-signalisation et d'un gilet rétro-réfléchissant. Le non-respect de ces obligations sera passible d'une amende de 90 euros minimum !

Just a friendly warning that the French police are keen to exercise their revenue raising powers.

Thanks for the info. I will put them in the car as we are going this year.

What is the situation regarding headlamps in France on UK models that dip to the left. Is there a mask kit for the current Verso or is it just a case of turning the headlamp height right down? The advice offered by the Toyota dealer was try Halfords.

Always good to hear the latest regulations, the last thing anyone wants is to be fined for doing something wrong without even realising. Thanks for the information

I thought this was the rule for ages?????

I must confess when driving to Germany I just... did it...

Not even anywhere on my car for a magnetic GB sticker! and no one can see I haven't got beam deflectors on as the headlights are mainly down......

I didn't hang about though lol ;)

I am a bad person :(
