I've only just "joined" and have found the forum very informative.    I expect by now you have info regarding Blue badges in France but if not look at the Department of Transport website "using the Blue badge in Europe".  Jake    Report

I am hoping to christen my badge next week but behind my Volvo rear view mirror there is an area of mesh where I would like to fix the holder - if I place it further to the left it does impair the passenger seat view albeit high up - do you know if the mesh area will affect the use of the unit - I would prefer to fix it before I leave.       I note your advice about holding it and may have to resort to that.       I would hate to hold things up with a GB plate in the Liber-t lane of all places.

Brilliant, no queueing (not sure of spelling) straight through. Initially held it to the windscreen to find best location, but turned out I could leave it in the glove box on my dashboard and worked just as well.Wish I had got one three years ago. Mark    Report

Obviously it's  not as quick as a doofer,  but you just put in the ticket, then your UK or French credit/debit card, and away you go. No PIN required.    Report

That's interesting.  Someone did tell me that when not using mine (i.e. between trips) I should keep it in its double layer of silvery packaging. He said that if I ever had it with me in a bag in somebody else's vehicle it would clock up the tolls even if the other person was paying by some other method.  So don't throw that packaging away!

We do that as well, Tom.  Never had to queue to pay by card.  Given we don't use the motorway daily and when we do I don't mind us taking a couple of secs longer than the telepeage, there's no point in us occasional users getting a doofer.   But I guess if you have to use a very busy peage regularly it makes sense.    Report
