It seems a new emissions sticker is now required when driving in France. Is this just when in cities or on all roads?
Again, fines are hefty if you don't comply.
Is anyone complying?

It's only for Paris, Lyon & Grenoble at the moment.

It's not expensive (was about £4 I think for my bike) & I believe the way it works is that when they are having bad pollution days they can prevent the worst emitters entering the city (your vehicle is placed in a band numbered 1-6 depending on it's emissions).

It's a one off payment & the sticker comes through in a week or two.
You scan page 2 of your V5, & submit it with payment on line.

Registered both our cars a couple of months ago, fairly painless procedure. Funny to have a 'tax' disk on the car again.

Antwerp has a similar scheme now in operation. Requires registration but no sticker. Registration confirmation was same day.

It looks like I'm going to have to drive to Paris at very short notice.

You can apply and pay online but I need to be there sooner than two weeks,
so I will not have a sticker on time banghead.
