Some items you should be carrying when Driving in France:
UK Driving License - Compulsory to carry this when driving in France - failure = on the spot fines!
Car registration documents - log book must be carried with you at all times. This can also incur an on the spot fine!
Headlamp Adaptors - UK vehicles are designed for driving on the left hand side of the road this will mean that when driving in France you will dazzle oncoming drivers. Failure to adapt your headlamps will render the vehicle UNFIT for the road. invalidating your motor insurance and could result in a spot fine
GB Stickers - these are required by International Law to indicate Country of Registration
Warning Triangles - In France warning triangle must be placed 50 - 150 metres behind your vehicle to warn approaching traffic if your vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident. Hazard warning lights alone are not sufficient
Fluorescent Safety Vest - Obligatory to carry this in your vehicle while driving in France, in fact it must be within reach so that if you have an accident or breakdown, you can get out of the car you were driving with it on, so don't put it in the boot of your car!
Spare Bulbs - All car lamps, lenses and reflectors must be in working order at all times - failure to replace a broken bulb could result in a spot fine so always carry spares for all your car lights
Spare Specs - Yes a spare pair of glasses are required if you have contact lenses and are going to be driving in France.
First Aid Kit - A First Aid kit must be carried in your vehicle at all times when driving in France.
Fire Extinguisher - If you fail to render assistance in the event of a fire or take necessary precautions to prevent a fire from escalating is an offence
Insurance Policies - If the driver/owner of a vehicle fails to comply with the law and fails to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy for the country he intends to visit could result in the insurance company repudiating liability under the Policy.
Failure to Comply - On the spot fines can be imposed In the event of prosecution and conviction for failure to comply with the legal requirements of EU countries.
On the Spot Fines - Fines have to be paid on the spot in the local currency with travellers cheques and credit cards not being acceptable. Inability to pay may in some countries result in the vehicle being impounded until fine has been paid. Whilst a visitor driving in France will probably have to pay on the spot fines, residents often are given 45 days to pay. Residents can pay radar camera fines online here: www.amendes.gouv.fr.
Car Insurance - Green Card - It is no longer a requirement to have a green card to cross borders with a green card within the EU. This is because EU member countries and certain other countries comply with the 1st directive on motor insurance, which says that all insurance policies issued within the EU must provide the minimum insurance cover required by law in any other EU country.
I guess I erred on the side of caution and got one.
