Survival Tips for Driving in France – Part Two

Number 1. If you import your right-hand drive car, it can be complicated as your vehicle will need to conform to French manufacture and use regulations. If it is a model or make not on sale in France, things could become a real hassle. And if you stay in France for more than a month, you will have to change to a French registration (in theory at least).

Number 2. If your car is getting on in years, you will have to think about taking it along for an M.O.T (le contrôle technique), at an officially-approved centre. After this, it is every two years.

Number 3. Most French motorways are toll paying. On short stretches the amount can be a flat rate (or even free) but it usually depends on the distance you drive. Don't lose your ticket or you will be required to pay the maximum toll.

Number 4. French motorway signs are blue, and usually indicate the destination more frequently than the motorway number. So, if you are driving from Lyon to Chambéry, you are likely to see more 'Chambéry' signs than 'A43'.

Number 5. Many French motorways are two-lane only, or have long two-way stretches. Be careful, as there can be sudden traffic slow-downs due to trucks taking ages to inch past each other.

Number 6. Be careful on French motorways as many drivers lack road discipline. It is the usual tricks: in spite of the 130 kilometers per hour limit, apparently 39% of them drive at speeds between 130 and 150 kilometers per hour.

Number 7. I know it sounds obvious, but the French do drive on the right. You will soon get used to it, but you will have to concentrate in the beginning.

Number 8. Electronic speed camera detectors are illegal in France. Simply having one in your car could render you liable to a fine.

Number 9. Driving your right-hand car in France can be a bit tricky when it comes to overtaking as you have to pull out more to see any oncoming traffic.

Number 10. Maximum speed limits are clearly displayed on all roads in France. At present there are rumours about lowering them all by 10 kilometers per hour.

Number 11. Be careful of roadside and police in-vehicle speed cameras - especially in villages where the limit is 50 kilometers per hour. You can easily get caught out.

Number 12. When approaching an unmarked road junction, the rule is to give way to all traffic approaching you from the right - even if the road is minor.
