Top
tips for driving in France
- Police will issue on the
spot fines for a variety of offences. It’s not unknown for
drivers to be escorted to cash machines in order to pay. Have some cash
in case
- Toll roads are excellent if
you don’t mind paying. B roads are still good and more
picturesque, although much slower. The cost of tolls from Calais to Toulouse will be in the region of
40 euros
- Services can get extremely
crowded during lunch time. Good idea to take your own lunch and stop
at one of the garden areas, plenty of space with good restroom
facilities.
- At motorway services, the
petrol tends to be before the services
- Have a spare set of bulbs
– this is compulsory.
- Drink drive laws are even
tougher in France than in Britain. Wherever you are, if you
are driving, DON’T DRINK
- A car coming in the
opposite direction that flashes their lights can indicate a police
speed trap ahead
- Carry all your driving
documents with you – license, MOT, insurance certificates.
