Eyes on the Road
Few things can be more confusing - and potentially more dangerous to a driver caught unawares - than the differences in motoring law between countries. If you drive in France it makes sense to be aware of the rules: speed limits, blood alcohol limits and of course, priorité ŕ droite.
Getting all the facts
AngloINFO's INFOrmation Page on Driving in France clearly lays out essential information a driver should know such as the basic rules (driving age, licences, using a mobile phone) and speed limits on the various road types, and how that changes when it's raining, along with information on the current location of speed radars and more!
One rule is that all cars on the road must be roadworthy: find out when and how to go about making sure your car is legal to drive from the INFOrmation Page on the Contrôle Technique vehicle test.
And in the event of seeing, or worse, being involved in an accident, find out what to do and who to call from the INFOrmation Pages on Accidents and Vehicle Insurance.
You'll find loads more useful information for a driver - and car owner - in France including clear instructions on how to ensure the legality of your driving licence, how to import a car and how to buy or sell a car in France.
