new laws in France to affect everyone

[GWAYGWAY]

Where might I buy a sticker.

I looked on Ebay and Amazon but nothing obvious.

Thanks

“Stickers for vehicles registered outside France can be ordered online from 1 February 2017.

“The website, Service de délivrance des certificats qualité de l?air - Ministère de l'Environnement, de l'Energie et de la Mer which will be in various languages, will ask you to enter the necessary information from your vehicle registration certificate and attach a scanned copy of the certificate.”

Cheers

Well I have tried but it shut me out after many attempts to get the registration number and date in the application. Emailed them but have to wait until they go to work next week. It kept telling me the reg number and date were wrong????????????

well, I have done it and paid my 4.80 euro. Not entirely sure I put the correct "serial number" in ? Put VIN number but also thought it could the the vehicle document reference. Main problem was getting my scan to be less than 200kb...grayscale min resolution got it to 162kb! after four attempts!! Dont know if I want to go to anywhere covered by this but easier at the small cost than risking it! :banana::banana:

Hi I have the same problem getting scan to 200kb. Can you explain how you managed ? Not sure what grayscale means and not good with IT thanks

 

[jacquigem]

Thanks David, managed to sort it out in Paint and form now submitted

Looks like I did it the most complicated way possible! Scanned to each setting until I found one which was small enough! I am not good at these things either! Glad you managed it!

Should be fun, as France seems to have developed a speed camera that flashes my 3.5 tonne Sprinter at anything over 80kmp on the Autoroutes.

Why? Or do you only accept a democratic vote when it's in your favour.

Same here, especially the ones on the down hill bits that are there for heavier vehicles and those towing.

A bit late for you maybe, but for others. My HP PSC was set to colour and 100dpi and gave a sub 200kb jpg, no messing about with paint.

Thanks for that IanM but I expect that most of us will not have a level of French necessary to complete the forms

Just read this bit -

FTR... The site now has a GB flag in the top right corner. That provides an English langiuge site. following the clicks and its E3.20 plus postage.

You start here in effect

Law change for UK drivers in French cities | RAC Drive

Thanks for the heads up Roger, might well need one so thought I’d apply for the sake of EUR 4.80 (including postage from France).

Just in case anyone else is thinking of doing the same, it was very straightforward. Within the link RAC Roger posted there is another link to the official Crit’Air website. Just a case of answering some questions and uploading a scan of the V5C (I only scanned the page with all the vehicle information on it as there is a 400kb maximum document size limit), then added payment details and job done. The wait time posted on the web site was up to 30 days but I applied last Monday afternoon, received an email confirmation on Wednesday morning, then on Saturday received the Crit’Air certificate (window sticker) in the post. Great service, sorted in less than a week.

That's good to know I was wondering if you only needed to send the page with the details on it as I couldn't get the whole thing small enough to send

Thanks. I knew it was possible but couldn't remember how

Did I read it correctly only Paris Grenoble and Paris at the moment - so Rouen not affected yet

Well, perhaps you meant capital, not capitol. They're different words with different meanings.

****** will mean we are even more stuffed by Euro rules when we want to go abroad, but will no longer have any influence over them. How is that better?


How do you make that out? Do you think they'll say "Ah, you're brits so you can come to Europe and do what you like~? Dream on!

Lose, not loose. But you're right: there's an awful lot of Brits in Europe who have a lot to lose. Especially with a piss-useless government on our side. We burned the paddle then chose to be washed up **** creek!

Do you honestly think we'll benefit from ******? Can't see it myself.

Quite, and at the risk of starting another ****** thread, the only country in the EU which is going to severely harmed by ****** is the UK. And that is now becoming clearer by the day. Back on topic, the only cities affected by this CRIT'Air at the moment are Paris, Lyon, Grenoble and Lille, although I am sure others will follow. And I wish somebody would change the title of this thread, it does not affect 'Brits only' it affects everyone, including the French.

As you seem to like correcting people's posts - 'there are', not 'there is'.

 

[El Veterano]

Ours all done. Dethleffs i8 2013 3500kg cost €4.18 inc postage for sticker.

It seems that the remainers still haven't taken on board that we are leaving and can either like it or lump it.
