• Speeding offences 10 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  I live in France and my car is registered here. I was stopped on a motorway on 29th May 2011 and asked for my details. I received two notices which I signed as being the driver even though I stated that the speeding offences were on the 18th March and I could not be sure I was the driver.

• I Have A Question - Volume 185 30 May 2007 (Forum)
  Thinking of going over to France for 7 days sometime during the first 2 weeks in July (Scottish school holidays). I have been on various websites, chez-nous etc but can anyone recommend either a villa type place, or even a static caravan maybe within 2-3 hours max of the Channel Tunnel?
• Navman iCN 510 or a Tom Tom? 29 May 2005 (Forum)
  Except for the £200 he looks like having to pay for a map kit in order to get one for France. I think he should also look towards using scamera data (yes I know there is talk of banning. The colour range of the 500 has a wider spec. but whether this translates into it having a better display in practice is another question?
• classic car insurance abroad 6 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Faced with that sort of thing, what I need is a British-based Lloyds underwriter or company that will provide classic insurance for a car based in France. Does anybody know of one?
• Citroen HDI Oil 30 May 2003 (Forum)
  Can anyone out there give me a sensible answer to a simple question? Citroen UK and France have both been less than helpful with their answers. I have a 2002 XSARA 110bhp HDI SX. My handbook says that I must use Total Quartz 9000 (or equivalent). It does also list Quartz 7000, but says that this must not be use in HDi engines which have a particle filter.

• None. - French police sabotage speed cameras. 22 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  Drivers and now the police over here in France are fed-up with the blatant profiteering and revenue raising by the government with their radars. €700,000,000 last year.  http://www.wat.tv/video/exclusivite-automoto-radars-5ccjr_2flv9_.html I wonder if UK plod would consider coming over for a spot of entente cordiale and on the job training?
• Ford Ka/Golf Mk1V - E10 fuel 19 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  I live in France and E10 fuel is now being sold everywhere at a cheaper price that normal 95 octane.  Is there a website which explains which cars are compatible as the only one I can find is an Australian version saying that you cannot use E10 in a Ford Ka or Focus.
• French Signs 3 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  I was recently driving in France and entered a tunnel, some matrix signs, lit up with a red circle on a black background with a ₡ symbol. Can any of the knowledgeable folk here tell me what it is (though I suspect it?s an impending fine).
• How to get a Telepéage for French M-way 21 Apr 2007 (Forum)

• About to drive through Europe... 22 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Taking my own as an example, the motorways do not have a 70 sign on them. If the same is true in France, Belgium, Germany, etc. how am I supposed to know what speed I am allowed to do?
