Information

On the road

On the road
Roulez Ă droite! or Conduisez Ă droite! (Drive on the right!), Serrez Ă droite! (Keep to the right!), these are the imperative reminders that British motorists cannot avoid noticing as they drive into France. Nâoubliez pas de roulez Ă droite! (Donât forget to drive on the right!)
You must also be aware of prioritĂŠ Ă droite (priority to the right). Cars have to let vehicles coming from the right go first. This does not apply on une route prioritaire (a main road). However in small towns, street intersections often have prioritĂŠ Ă droite. You may notice signs saying Vous nâavez pas la prioritĂŠ (you do not have priority). Many accidents de la route (road accidents) are due to this particular rule being ignored.
LâĂŠthylotest (the breathaliser) est obligatoire (is compulsory) depuis le 1er juillet 2012. Drivers must have breathalising equipment in their cars at all times. Depuis le 1er novembre, failure to show a breathaliser can result in une amende (a fine) de 11âŹ.
