It's not about just your lights anymore - Don't forget that it is French law
that you will need to carry at least one disposable breathalyser kit from 1st
July ( 2 are recommended, in case you are forced to use one of your own by the
police to prove yours works, even though they will use their own digital
device); although as I interprete it you won't actually be fined until 1st
Novenber only warned, however better safe than sorry. Kits are widely available
and not expensive and have a shelf life of 2 years) , I've just bought a pack
of 5 for £12.95 - however they must be NF approved and carry the NF logo -
beware imitations and any kit without a blow into bag is a copy.
Also Hi viz jackets (with EN471 approved reflective stripes) for each occupant
to be worn if you need to vacate your vehicle on a motorway hard shoulder, or
you will be fined if stopped by the gendarmes and get out of the car without
wearing one. BasIcally this means 2 or 3 reflective stripes - a yellow
waistcoat with either two horizontal reflective stripes, or one horizontal and
one over each shoulder. You also need a set of spare light bulbs - the list
goes on - And do obey speed limits, especially in villages as there are many
mobile cameras around with on the spot fines - on this do make sure you have
downloaded the latest Garmin/TomTom 'SAFETY' camera zone software as it is now
illegal to have French 'SPEED' Camera Zones installed on your device (not sure
how they prove this though) - I am sure Quentin will have a list of essentials
included when he sends out his packs.
Despite all this France is a wonderful country to go touring in, just don't
think you can become a boy racer and take liberties just because you are abroad
and on holiday.
