I've just read the following from the Bike Normandy site; does this mean that I cannot use my Sena intercom to listen to music/GPS/chat?
* From 1 July 2015 it became ILLEGAL to use any “hands-free” kit in a car or on a motorcycle with any sort of device that emits a sound – whether through an earpiece, earphones (including earplugs with integral earphones) or headphones – directly into the ear. The aim is to make illegal anything that may interfere with the driver’s/rider’s hearing. The only exceptions are hearing aids, training schools, and helmets with an integral system. The detail of the law was released on 18 June 2015 – see the article here – securite routiere – the pictures are easy to follow! The sanction for non-compliance is 135 euro fine and 3 points in France (in Spain this is a 200 euro fine).
