What not to do after an accident in France

[petecossie]

Saw this earlier on MSN, wasn't aware of this form that had to be filled in. Makes interesting viewing.

I saw that item last night Pete but didn't remember to read it. Certainly an eye opener mate.

Should be titled 'why not to go to France' ....

Didn't know about the Constat Amiable. How can you complete/sign a form if you can't read the lingo? What happens if you don't play, a trip to the Bastille?

You can download Constat Amiable in English and carry it with you, just in case. Be aware though you cant use the English version but instead use it to translate the county's version you are completing. If you don't complete this form correctly the chances are you will be found to be at fault.

After my trip to France last summer (it rained every day) that's just another reason why I will not drive there this year. There are too many French people over there and what's worse is they all speak French.

We had been thinking of taking the Zed down to the Bergerac area in May or June, but after reading that.....stuff it,

And doesn’t a car have to be a cross between and ambulance and a breakdown van to legally drive on ‘Les Routes Franciases’

We love France amungst other countries but they certainly do have some strange ways. That said I'm sure some French look at us and think exactly the same. The fact is if you want to visit other countries then learn their ways. If you ain't bothered about it don't go and don't moan about it.

Looks easy to download from various websites. Pas de probleme pour moi avec la langue francaise.
