France - Crit D'Air Emissions Stickers
- Thread starter squibb34
- Start date
Its the same with all French rules/laws they do not apply to the French as far as they are concerned, but they apply to everyone else. I've just got back from France with a M/home, everything you read concerning "Blind Spot" stickers on vehicles over 3.8T you must have them or face 132 Euro on the spot fine. Most of the M/homes non French had them but not the French its their right not to disclose if their M/home is 3.8T as they will end up as class 2 on the tolls?
Thanks for that link.
Easy process to follow and I got them for two of my bikes - one is a CRIT'air 1 and the other a CRIT'air 2
The older you get the more wary of disobeying rules you seem to become.
As many of you know I'm a bit of a numpty and wasn't sure how to fill in a couple of parts of the form. No matter what Euro category I chose for my bike, a 2012 1200 TC GSA, the form defaulted to 'the is the wrong category for your bike' and I have no idea what the emission levels are for her as her Log Book doesn't show these details.
On this basis I filled the form out but left these 2 categories empty.
No matter apparently as this arrived today.

There you go, Madame, all is well with the world.
If you have an old tax disc holder, put the crit-air sticker inside that, makes it less likely to fall off.
Also it should be on the RHS of the bike so the Gendarme can see it from the side of the road

I have just been online and ordered one for my 2019 model Harley tourer. As I am riding from Spain and up through France to the Cherbourg ferry, I hope to visit some historical towns.
Is it checked visually on the road, parked up or by camera?
Cost me €35.
As yet, not sure how long it lasts for.
Got a month before leaving so hope it arrives.

should have cost you under 5 euro - you must have been fleeced by a 3rd party seller - should've read the whole thread!
the sticker lasts for the life of the bike and will be phased out like tax discs, just using the database
not seen any checks but rumours of introducing ANPR checking now the database is live
For that price I'd expect President Macron to personally visit and apply a gold-plated sticker to your bike. As @wessie says it looks like you didn't follow the official route......
Actually it only costs £4.20. I’ve just done 2 applications. You should have the confirmation by tomorrow and the sticker within 2 weeks.

They’re talking about canceling it now as it effectively excludes people who can’t afford a recent vehicle from certain cities
Ordered mine last week, cost £4.20 or thereabouts.
We’ve been touring France for over 15 years on a regular basis and since the Late 70s early 80s. We’re actually touring France and Italy as I type. We don’t have and have no intention of getting a crit air cert. We have never been anywhere that requires one. Please do not be misled about just how many places require it. The vast majority of places that require a crit air cert are not the places one would want to visit. Particularly on a motorcycle.
Most probably true but for 4 quid against a potential fine of a lot more it certainly makes sense to get one.
The only problem with that is when you’re passing a city and there’s roadworks
I ended up being in a detour into Grenoble.
We’ve managed for the last 20 years or so. I guess we’ll be fine.The only problem with that is when you’re passing a city and there’s roadworks
