Title: Tourists driving to France face a £117 fine
Post by: Icefever on April 01, 2017, 05:12:26 AM

Why do the media throw up headlines that scare the crap out of folks???  This is in the Daily Mail.....http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4370042/Tourists-driving-France-face-117-fine.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4370042/Tourists-driving-France-face-117-fine.html)

Only when you do read the full story does it tell anyone that (as we know on here) it's only in 3 cities at the moment. I must admit I've looked at the site for the stickers and I think for our bikes it's about £3/£4....what the hell if it's going to save you being stopped at all, it's worth it.

Just my 2p... :cool:

:agree:

If it means money in their pockets, it will, I'm sure.

does anyone know if the ticket is required to drive round Paris (ie bypass)
