New French Towing Regs....

[TonyEmm]

I’ve been hearing on another forum that new towing regulations will be introduced in France from January. One poster specifically said January 21st..... however, I can find nothing definitive to back this up.

Does anyone have actual information or is this another case of ‘Chinese Whispers’?

Just send an email to a French friend if there's proper answer will get it for you

The result a group of my friends have all replied

There are no notifications posted in France of any proposed changes for driving in France
UNLESS

you live there and drive a UK registered car which you must change to a French registration to tow with

Thanks Graham! I can’t say I’m surprised at the last bit, residents shouldn’t be driving a U.K. registered vehicle anyway for more than (IIRC) 6 months.....
The ‘other’ forum was a debate about over-run (inertia) couplings.... I’ve heard nothing more yet though one guy says he’s getting me a translation of the ‘new’ French regulation.... i’ve said the original will do nicely!

it’s notoriously difficult to prove a negative....

nice to see you and Steph are still active! . Now work out who I am!
