HGV operators must apply for a permit for their vehicles before travelling through the area. A permit will be granted if the vehicle meets the minimum DVS star rating. Audio warnings must be fitted to all vehicles, including those with left-hand drive to ensure all vehicles have the ability to warn of an intended manoeuvre. Articulated buses and coaches, as defined in 1.8 of R. 311-1 of the Highway Code, must also have additional signs showing the blind spots on each of the sections making up the articulated vehicle. The fine for not having them fitted is 135€, payable on the spot in cash or by French cheque (if you do not have the cash you will be escorted to the closest cash machine to withdraw it.)

If one person is saved injury it must be a good idea, like looking in all rear and down view mirrors when moving off particularly at traffic lights etc. vehicles with more than two doors must be fitted with signs only on the front-most door on each side of the vehicle. No one has said that its OK to kill - and I'm sure no one even suggests that it might be OK. and I'm pretty certain than no one want to end up in a situation where an accident might occur. Pet passports are no longer valid for travel to the EU, so if you wish to take your pet you will need to get an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) from an official veterinarian. This document confirms that your pet is microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. A small number of vehicles are entitled to an exemption from the HGV Safety Permit Scheme. These include specialist construction vehicles built for mainly off-road use (for example, telehandlers and mobile cranes).On the road, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, motorized personal transporters and pedestrians are smaller and less visible than a car to drivers of heavy vehicles. They are thus easily found out of their field of vision, in their blind spots.

You can get them with a lorry or a bus indicated. It doesn’t make any difference for a motorhome which type you choose.You can also get them as magnetic ones (but remember most motorhomes aren’t magnetic on the hab!) You piccies of a super duper lorry are wonderful but are you prepared to pay the cost of all of the existing lorrise on the road being swapped over. I think you should try an live in the real world. FORS members are required to fit HGVs and vehicles designed to carry more than 16 with blind spot warning signage. The warning signage should warn of the hazard and advise other road users to take appropriate action, for example ‘Blind spot – Take Care’. Vulnerable road-users account for 70% of road deaths in urban areas and the accident rate in France is higher than the UK. An IDP is obtainable from post offices – for details visit gov.uk/driving-abroad/international-driving-permitA reflective red and white striped hazard sign (typically 50cm x 50cm) should be attached to any cycles or other items carried at the rear of your vehicle or outfit. On vehicles with direct vision systems at the bottom of the doors, or glass doors, the side signs must be “as close as possible” to the 0m-1m rule, and no more than 3m from the front of the vehicle. You are permitted to drive in the EU if you have a photocard driving licence issued in the UK, but might need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in some EU countries and Norway if you have an older-style paper driving licence or a licence issued in Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of Man.

Emission zone certificates, where required (see section on Low Emission Zones and Clean Air Zones below) If the proof of star rating does not include the number plate, you should submit this together with a copy of your V5C log book (or foreign equivalent), or a document from the DVLA confirming both the vehicle's number plate and VIN. If you do not yet have a V5C, you can send us:If you are applying for a single vehicle that we do not hold details for, and you know the vehicle has a star rating of zero, you can still submit an HGV Safety Permit application. This is a bit like the grandfather rights “C1/C1E” entitlement that applies in the UK, except Code 79 relates specifically to motorhomes and there’s no GVW upper limit. When Code 79 became law in France in 2009, some EU countries (perhaps unsurprisingly) initially refused to recognise its legality for vehicles being driven within their national territory - but eventually those countries were compelled to do so. Sensors must ensure full coverage down the nearside of rigid vehicles to detect vulnerable road users. They must not activate in relation to roadside furniture or stationary vehicles. This aims to prevent left turn collisions. For articulated trailers, sensors must be fitted to the front tractor unit but are recommended for the trailer where possible. A green card is proof that you have vehicle insurance when driving abroad, and is available from your insurer. From the 2 August 2021 UK residents will no longer need a green card for car or trailer when travelling to the following countries:

Sadly, this law has created a LOT of confusion, especially with regards to whether or not that law applies to motorhomes or private vehicles, or is it just for heavy goods vehicles? Travel insurance is especially important because the reciprocal agreements of the EHIC and GHIC cards may not cover all potential expenses, which can range from ambulances or dental treatment to air ambulance fees or repatriation to the UK, in the event of illness or death.FORS encourages companies to run safe and efficient fleets and FORS accredited operators are committed to improving the safety of vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians.
