DB11 - Taking car to France

[Butlerboy007]

Hi All,

I had searched but couldnt find anything on there. My youngest and I are thinking of taking the DB11 to France in August for a few days.

I have searched the internet and cant get an answer, is there a way to change the settings for the lights to avoid having to do the stupid sticker bit? I have look at the car settings and manual and cant see any reference to this. Any advice would be welcomed.

Also speeding fines, I have had them before over there, is there a big worry about fines/being stopped?

According to the 19MY Owner's Guide, you don't need to convert them - see extract below.



You can check in your own Owner's Guide if yours isn't 19MY, but afaik the headlamps are all the same on DB11's

Big fines (1500 euros) if 30mph or more over the limit on main roads / motorways, 135 euros for lower speeds.

>50km/hr over the limit is now a criminal offence, car can be seized and potentially auctioned by the court.

Many depts have what are effectively private motorists driving their own cars around, on a pre-determined route, fitted with radar / camera; not very popular with the locals.

If you're in roadworks, they sometimes put cameras a very short distance (I've seen them approx 10-metres before the signs) before the 'end of speed restriction' signs; crafty.

Last week in Northern France, Champagne region. I have never seen so many cameras, motorcycle cops with Radar and police cars with radar. I am in France 6 plus times a year .
Thet seem to have gone berserk.

On the take your car thing. I know a group of motorcycle chaps , who did a trip in April to the Vosages. On of them came home with no bike . I don't know more details, he did have it confiscated.

Easier than stopping rubber boats though...
