Warning Triangle is a must. 1st aid kit and spair bulbs aren't required but if you need em and dont have you'll get done for it. I.e. if a bulb is out and u get pulled you'll be done if not got a spair bulb kit but if no bulbs are out your ok so its if u want it risk it or not. You also need beam deflectors and a GB sticker unless u got EU 'GB' style number plates oh and i think a fire extinguisher is reccommended also!

remember to drive on the right
make sure you dont speed, as they are very strict on tourists
and dont run out of petrol unless you are a member of "les AA"

just depends what roads you use really! they are strict on some and not others but they have been cracking down on British tourists over the last couple of years!

oh it was illegal to use Bluetooth in France as the frequency interferred with military frequencies but they lifted the ban now as of 10th Jan 2006 so your alright but its still very much illegal to have any sort of radar detector equipment and you will be done for it if caught!

Awesome place to drive over there, if your going near the centre you need to go for the gaps, drive like a prick or you will get nowhere force your way in
Was awesome when we all went over, can get some right speed over there, just tell them you dont have your driving license if you get stopped

dont do that they will hold u until you or someoneelse can produce it for you! If you get caught make out you dont speak French and thats about your only chance otherwise just admit it and pay the fine oh and if you cant pay the fine on the spot as your British and so could just never come back they'll impound your car until you do have the money to pay

why would they let you off with that? for starters its totally illegal not to be carrying your drivers licence anyway! theoretically it is in this country hence producers and abroad you'd have to be an idiot not to have it! and its not like your mate was speeding he was driving dangerously
