• Ford Fiesta Saloon 1.25 Zetec 1996 model. - Damage to Engine Following trip to France 2 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  After 5 days in France and 3 tanks of the new E10 French Petrol the engine started to vibrate with a noticeable loss of power. On return to the UK and using British petrol the car is the same. New plugs have not improved it.
• telepeage 11 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  When you get yours ask for two or three - I gave one as a Xmas present to my ageing father who still visits France regularly. Bills go to my credit card - he gets toll free motoring in France. Allez salut maintenant!
• French trip 24 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  We are going to France in April. The journey will be from Richmond, North Yorkshire to just South of Troyes. There's very little difference in mileage to our destination from Zeebrugge, Le Havre or Calais. I used to enjoy motoring in France but haven't been since 2001.
• Holiday observations 8 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Observations from France just in case anyone is interested ;-) 1. The road surfaces are atrocious out of Dunkirk, which is the most depressing entry into France I have seen. Can recommend Norfolk Line, though. The Kids like Buffalo Grill. 2.

• Speeding in France - the latest facts 25 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  There was a long thread about scameras coming to France on this site just before Xmas. Well, I and dozens of others were caught yesterday by a load of gendarmes on the motorway... Yes, I was speeding and I'm not going to excuse my bad behaviour. But "foreigners" only get a cash fine of 90 Euros - no points, no follow-ups (unlike the French motorists).
• Left hand drive in UK 24 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  (Though the petrol equivalent does.) Both are standard in France, where admittedly they are more use. However, the other aspect of the equation is whether it is easier/safer to use a left hand drive car in the UK than to use a right hand drive car in France.

• n/a - Overtaking over solid white lines in France. 12 Sep 2019 (Forum)
  Having done the pedestrians - v - motorists - v - cyclists subject to death on another thread I thought it worth a reminder to those who venture into or across France. Firstly, the rule in the UK is that it is permissible to cross or straddle a solid white line to overtake a slow moving vehicle travelling at 10 mph or less. Forget that rule in France - it's different, and being France, it's complicated!
