Why not do both but meanwhile be polite and respectful of the laws in other countries?The question should be - Do stickers help? - so far only the French (authorities) think so
Better surely to encourage cyclists to protect themselves and avoid putting themselves in danger
When I learned to drive almost 60 years ago I was taught 'defensive driving' - the habit stuck - education not stickers
What is the fine - and do I get a receipt?
Thousands come here every week breaking our laws, show me a foreign lorry with their headlamps adjusted correctly. Also they break speed limits knowing we don't bother following it up.
I wonder what you will think when you ve been in France a few days and realise that you are one of very few with stickers fitted?
I think that might be because there is some kind of moratorium period on prosecution Jon, I seem to remember reading that somewhere, maybe I am wrong, someone will jump in with chapter and verse!
And do you see them as good people because of that?. (By the way I think we ought to police that better).
Im not sure they will while they have the 3500kgs limit, The camping caristes vigourously defend the right of their car to be under the limit - whatever it weighs
l will be an invited visitor with poor understanding of French but as a simple matter of economics, the cost of the stickers will be well below even a minimal fine should I be singled out for such treatment. The same goes for Critaire. London has anti pollution zones, so why not France.
I'm not suggesting that we trample all over their laws, but it does seem a bit odd that we're observing laws that our hosts are choosing to ignore. But if you're that keen and not worried about the economics then will you be paying classe 3 tolls?
when will he be deported though?Will this type of cyclist take any notice anyway?............

Cyclists have to slow down and ride according to conditions - for their own safety and the safety of others
True but France ,like Germany & other EU states, requires ALL drivers to register for the emission zones whereas the lazy UK .gov use anpr linked to the dvla database for locals whilst the foreigners are expected to know they need to actually register ,
then if they attempt to do so are met with an abortion of a website that changes from one page to another &, for those who are english as a 1st language are still unintelligible gibberish.
My stickers have a smart looking Motorhome image. When all three are applied they enhance the decals making the whole look a little like a wall covered in graffiti: Nice!
Heaven forbid,,it may upset someone...not as much as being killed though.But honestly you must be absolutely brain dead or just stupid to cycle down the side of a vehicle bigger than you with obvious limited visibility. BUSBY.

Personally I could understand the logic for that, although in my MH I don’t have any blind spots because of the mirrors/cameras I have. I do have a problem complying with this law (but I will) when it still depends on the mental capacity of the cyclist (who if he/she has put themselves in a position to see some of those stickers is clearly stupid anyway). Just don’t know where all of this will end.

Additionally when you ring you are answered by "placaters" who then have to themselves ring faceless half -wits to obtain answers & who have no knowledge of each individual countries registration documents & when faced with facsimiles showing what needs to be entered for different types of vehicle, think that Everyting for every vehicle has to be on it.
Or they then de-register your accont even though you are legitimately registered. They then want you to re-register , even though you have a legal & open account which you can access even though they state it does not exist?
When legally challenged suddely reinstate the account complete with all 4 different vehicle details , that previously had " been cleared & destroyed" . Without even an acknowledgement or apology.
They really are scum & useless ones.
Also when first introduced it was totally illegal by discriminating against foreigners. UnFortunately the Uk chose to leave whilst I was in the process of submitting a complaint to the UK & EU over the discriminatory system.
We are here in France now we have our stickers on and last night the 2 other vans here both clearly over 3.5t also had stickers on. One was French the other Belgian.

Same here Gill and Steve, there have been 3 MH on this site displaying them, 2 French and a large Belgian Carthago which is still here
Steady on !!
If I didn't know from here what they were actually meant to be for I would honestly have no idea. Why would a cyclist? If a cyclist has got himself in to a position where he is reading them why would they even think it applied to them ?
