The RAC has issued a warning to UK holidaymakers taking their cars to France this summer
Brits driving in certain areas of France this summer could face fines of up to £154 if they do not buy a windscreen emissions sticker before their trip, the RAC has warned. Last month the number of areas in France requiring drivers to display a Crit’Air sticker rose to 12, with Bordeaux and Clermont-Ferrand being added.
The Crit’Air stickers must be ordered in advance from a French government website and cannot be bought locally. They cost 4.61 euros which is around £4).Motorists are advised by the RAC to avoid third-party websites which charge up to six times as much. There are six different types of sticker, based on a vehicle’s air pollutant emissions.
Paris has the strictest regime with some roads at specific times only open to cars bearing “0”, “1” or “2” stickers. The RAC warned that other European countries such as Spain and Switzerland also have increasingly strict emissions regulations.
