Angles Mortes stickers yay or ney?

I’ll adopt you and you can apply for an Irish passport, which I now have

You're on. Dad! To be sure! Yes it is no it isn't!

I bet I've been to more departments (Certainly every region) than most people on this forum! Its been a while though.

Still no definitive answer on the speed limit then on motorways. Looks like ill go with 110 on motorways and 80 on normal roads. Ish.

Im not worried about the French kids nicking my Angela Monger stickers as they are under the drivers seat. For now at least. Ive stuck on me Critical Aires number 2 and the UK on the back of the van and the bike. That will do.

There certainly is a definitive answer.

I followed all the motoring laws in France when we went over there, When we went away in the motorhome i wanted to relax and enjoy it

The last thing i wanted was some grouchy Gendarme that hadn`t had his morning wine, baguette and a shag stopping us for the simple reason that " they don`t look good or why the fcuk should i, they don`t "

Along the lines of what TeamRienza`s granny said if you get caught ......................................... don`t come running to us if you break your leg.

The choice is yours, have a nice time

Not according to the answers on here there isn't for motorways at least.

I think post 48 covers it. Unless anyone says different.

Of course, if you have a Fiat based MoHo then you risk the paint coming away with the Angry Mortes stickers when it is removed.

Its 4.25t so I have bought them but there seem to be two camps. Those that stick them on and those that don't. There isn't a single van in the Canterbury park and ride right now with them on and some of them will be over 3.5t.

I understood they were compulsory on over 3,5 tonnes so you should use them maybe the Police would not stop you without them BUT they would have INSURANCE complications if you ever had an accident with a CYCLIST or Motorcyclist so why take the risk as you have already bought them , same applies to the speed restriction stickers , and has any one bought the new warning light for breakdown etc in Spain apparently when this is activated it signals the POLICE your location as well as warning other drivers of your breakdown , I was told this by the Police that attended our Tyre Blowout homeward bound from Portugal , the warning TRIANGLES are no longer valid but I will still use them in addition to the NEW LIGHT warning when I next go Foreign

Is that regulation in place ?

As long as you don’t start re-writing Irish Rebel songs for your YouTube channel

and has any one bought the new warning light for breakdown etc in Spain apparently when this is activated it signals the POLICE your location as well as warning other drivers of your breakdown , I was told this by the Police that attended our Tyre Blowout homeward bound from Portugal , the warning TRIANGLES are no longer valid but I will still use them in addition to the NEW LIGHT warning when I next go Foreign

International Use of the V-16 Warning Light and Triangles Explained

www.ibexinsure.com

This link and other news outlets state (including N332) that foreign vehicles do not need a V16 warning light, but must continue to carry and use warning triangles. I think though it would be sensible to buy and carry a V16 light as anything that avoids turning a simple breakdown into an accident with potential danger to life makes sense to me.

This is for all the critics of 'Elf & Safety' and 'woke gone mad' etc. I took the Tiguan for a blast up the A92 yesterday to clear the DPF [Stop/Start wouldn't kick in after a couple of short, slow trips]. As I exited the 70mph dual carriageway, at the top of junction, I saw a man, leaning out into the road and gesticulating frantically; the road becomes a blind bend 30m further on, and on its crown was the man's dead Pick Up, sans Warning Triangle or other warning. Tig's neew brakes work really well, and the steering is still very responsive ... I'll find out later today how good the new detergent is on my underwear

The speed limit for a motorhome, not a van or van with windows....you should be careful with them.
Be very careful of limits under 80kph there are loads of camers in villages and at junctions..
We are here now. Well been in the Alps for just on 4 weeks and heading up somewhere by Basel now.
back to uk next Monday and then to Ireland.
First time for us in switzerland and its stunning but a little expensive.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

And just to add to your confusion Barry, how will you approach the villages and roads with a 3.5ton limit sign, or the 3.5ton sign with a subsidiary plate with a truck pictured on it.
That monster truck of yours is a dead giveaway with or without the Angela Merkel welcome stickers.

Davy

Good point they were everywhere this year, can't say I noticed last year WTFIGO.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I used to always get flashed by cameras every year but never heard anything back but I hear they can follow you home now so best be careful. It won't be so much of an issue after Wednesday. Got 450 miles to get a wiggle on tomorrow and Wednesday then it will be bimble mode for pretty much the next three months.

That reminds me, we saw a few of the triangular shaped roadside speed cams, they don't like em at all, we say one very black on that had been on fire, another had been sprayed and one on it's side in a ditch, but mostly we saw very few cameras at all, but loads of 30kph limits, and even 20kph in some old towns, but the very worse thing for me was the Zebra crossing speed humps.

Angles Mortes stickers yay or ney?

If the silly buggers are so myopic they can't see a big whitish box, and have not understood that they will get squished if they get in the way after reading the signs on all the other trucks etc, then it maybe serves them right The voice of reason

I'd of course not bugger about, and just put them on.

The Spanish system is not available to visiting tourists. It requires registration with the authorities.

84 and counting (and that doesn't include ones that I've driven through without stopping).

 

[alcam]

I agree . Chances of getting done are probably close to zilch . But , as someone who got fined 40 euro for not having GB [pre UK] sign , I would too

 

[Drover]

As for themdarn stickers , I've had one on the back since they came out and the other 2 are chucked in the cupboard somewhere....
We spend around 6 months in Europe every year so go though france a lot.
The village 3.5 ton signs normally have a truck on them so don't apply to a motorhome..
