I will be off to Normandy beaches for a few days, and not having ventured abroad before, and have not been through the toll booth stations before i am a little apprehensive. I speak little french and can't read french.
I am told that bikes need to use a certain lane for the toll or you get charged as if you were a car.......is this right
I have to pay the toll machine a with a Credit card (not a debit card)
i must not use the manned booths ??? but the auto ones only, again is this right. as you can see i need instruction.
I only have a HSBC credit card, so am hoping this will be accepted at tolls/petrol stations.
There are several tolls on the direct route from calais to caen, but according to the Michilin planner you can do it toll free, but takes longer. I have all day to get there so am in no real rush. Should i go half way on the motorway then take a more scenic route, open to suggestions .....
Not that i am a speedy rider, but is there a heavy police presence on the motorways on this route.
Sorry for the probably silly questions, but just want a little reassurance/guiding hand. Thanks DB..
