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.

If you break French driving laws you can also have your UK driving licence confiscated by the

French Police. This could lead to your vehicle being temporarily impounded if no alternative

driver with a valid licence is available.

A single continuous white line is equivalent to a double white line in the UK and means 'do not

overtake'

There are two speed limits for motorways and dual carriageways: the lower one should be

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

years.
