For anyone who wasn't aware, France have brought in a new law on the 31st March 2017 whereby an 'Air Quality Sticker" must be displayed on every car when driving in Paris, Lyon & Grenoble. Failure to display one of these stickers could result in a £117 fine.
I applied for one for my father yesterday and I must say, unless you're pretty clued up on a pc, it's not the easiest thing to sort out. The cost is only around £4 but when applying, you have to upload a copy of your Vehicle registration document and it must be less than 400kb in size. There's no way my Dad would have managed to do it. The fact that the 'English version' of the site keeps defaulting to French doesn't help much either.
Anyway, wouldn't want any of us Blighty boys getting fined whilst driving over there.
