• French protest 22 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  Fuel duty in France is on the rise with road blocks and fuel station blocks on the agenda. Apparently the new taxes will go towards eco friendly projects. Macron is said to be facing the protesters down.....didn't something like this happen previously over there?
• Liability lobby/trailer 24 Oct 2021 (Forum)
  Hello, I was wondering if if a share of responsibility existed in traffic accidents when a lobby and its trailer are involved and have different insurance polices. In France the lobby is held responsible for 70% of the damage it caused, 30% for the trailer.   Thanks in advance
