DOCUMENTATION
You need to bring your Vehicle Registration, Insurance, MOT and Driving Licence. The police do have the right to confiscate your car if you are unable to prove it‘s yours. It is also advisable to take out European breakdown cover. As of 2008 you also need spare car bulbs, a warning triangle and a yellow jacket (that you can reach without getting out of your seat). Note: Regulations seem to change all the time so please check before you travel.
SPEED CAMERAS
Although there are not many fixed cameras they do exist particularly on the motorways. You will see large white signs with black pictures of different vehicles followed by radar lines. Hand held speed traps are also used and normally an on the spot fine will be given of 90€. The speed limit on a Brittany motorway is 110Km/ah. In towns and villages it is usually 50Km/h but can be as low as 30Km/h.
PRIORITY TO THE RIGHT
A yellow diamond shaped sign with a white border indicates that drivers on main roads have the right of way and don’t need to give way to the right. (Often seen when entering motorways). When the sign reappears with a diagonal black line through it, then this changes back so you do have to give way to the right. (Often applied when in small village squares and on country roads where cars can pull out from junctions on the right in front of you on the main road.) Unless you see `give way` markings on the road at the junction or a `give way` sign be careful.
PETROL STATIONS
Motorway and dual carriageway stations are normally manned 24 hours. Supermarket and local stations are normally manned from 0900-1200hrs and 1400-1900hrs. Automated 24hour card pumps need a PIN number to work.
CHANGING MONEY
You can use UK credit /debit cards in most cash machines in France to obtain your Euros.
