February 1st should see a english version come out

Unless it is an eary April fools joke????

So you put a sticker in the window and it lowers the emissions on the car

Another load of bollox money making game

Sounds like the French equivalent of London's LEZ, except that the French are using coloured stickers instead of London's ANPR approach.

The only thing the French are adept at is being invaded

It's the same in Berlin, stave a van out there a couple of years ago and had to use vehicle Vin to get approval minimal cost. Don't get worked up about it it's coming to the Uk, with many more cities are going to run similar schemes. Good idea to start removing dirty old diesels off the streets.

Why drive in a European City. Public Transport works in Europe. Park up in a nice Hotel on the outskirts. Get public transport in. See the sites and have something to eat and a beer. Nothing to worry about.

Citys should be out of bounds to all traffic. Feel sorry for the people that have to live in them and their health.

Oh I don't know. They do quite a good job of disliking the English.

Je t'en prie.

Except the stupidly-expensive ANPR system will register all vehicles in and out and catch all (ok, most) transgressors. The French scheme is going to need someone looking for stickers in car windows. Aha! It's a scheme for providing employment.

Where it's been moved from.

Anyway, all the awesome 1200 WC steeds will be compliant, so what are you getting your knickers into a twist over?

I'm not, as you say all 1200 WC are compliant though i suspect that we will still need to obtain a sticker no matter what?

That's the long and the short of it. No sticker; get your wallet out.

I'm not sure I've read it correctly but I'm sure I'll be put right if needed. The category for a Euro 4 motorbike starts 1st Jan 2017 and the Euro 3 is 1st Jan 2007 to 31st Dec 2016. Does this mean in France the Euro 4 engine wasn't available last year? If so does that mean owners of last years bike get a Euro 4 or 3 sticker?

Thought I'd put the link I used up;

Probably another scheme French citizens will ignore.

 

[Nightrider]

We need to remember that the French have far more rules and bureaucracy than we ever did. Difference is that they ignore them.

A more pressing question in this section would be.... Where should I stick the sticker?
