n00b question

[S18DMW]

As it's my 1st year this year I thought I'd double check this one, it's the only thing I'm not 100% on.

If your car has the GB logo on your reg plates, do you need to put a GB sticker on also or can you get away without one?

Don't fancy a fine for no reason...

As long as you have GB on the plates you don't need a stickers on the back of the car

If stopped by the police having a hi-vis jacket, documents and bulbs in the car will help. Not so sure about the beer...

They Don't sell TOW ROPES in France I believe it's not allowed? but in 2003 I towed my old cobra from Le mans to Cherbourg after a Gearbox problem. (Hired a rental car from Le mans, one way)

Another expensive year

Thanks for clearing that up Tony You learn something new every day! In 2003 I tried all the local garages to find a rope but no one had one! Ended up in Carrefour buying washing line rope (several bundles) binding it together to make a Tow rope! Bloody typical they sell Tow ropes in the shop NEXT DOOR Then people started to tell me it was Illegal to tow a car in France Sorry to say I believed them

PS: They did not have Tow Ropes in Carrefour at the time I looked!
