I understand that on another Forum (known for its unsubstantiated rumours) it has been suggested that those in France on UK licenses will have to change these shortly due to the photocards on UK licenses having to be renewed every three years. As a new photocard cannot be issued to other than a UK address, its saying we will have to change to French licenses to continue to have a valid license, anyone heard anything of this?
It sounds like "a man down the English bar told me" yarn to me, but you never know what with the measures being proposed to combat ID theft and terrorism in the UK.

Clicking on Will's link takes you to an announcement regarding French News April edition page 16 which contained a warning that the penal code had been changed through decree 2004-293XBS making it compulsory to sign the reverse of the insurance vignette as well as the insurance certificate. The change had also been included in the Highway Code and had come about following a trial period in Northern France which has now been extended to the rest of the country.
The link also includes a "CITIZENS’ UPDATE" French News April 2008:
"This was our April Fool's Day hoax. Then we heard that it might have been fact. Now we're sure that it is a hoax.
Apologies to any readers who have been unsettled in any way."
That newspaper's credibility is now blown for all time, I think. You really have to wonder about who's running that thing........![Confused [8-)]](/cs/images/emotions/confused.gif)
Waddya mean it's only Saturday......
