Some tips on driving in FRANCE
The French police strictly enforce speeding restrictions and if you exceed speed limits you will
face heavy on-the-spot fines, often payable only by the exact amount in cash.

French Police. This could lead to your vehicle being temporarily impounded if no alternative
driver with a valid licence is available.

overtake'

obeyed in wet weather - and always by drivers who have held a licence for less than two
years.
