Angles Morts stickers

Thanks. 12 months from what date?

I tow a trailer when I am in France, what are the requirements for my trailer as regards needing Angles Morts stickers?

Not sure I want my motorhome festooned in stickers!!! Fortunately my motorhome is 3500kgs category so I shouldn't need them. I do sometimes have difficulty understanding French logic? With perhaps the exception of the one on the rear surely the ones on the side are a distraction when somebody on a bike should be concentrating on where they are going?

The position of the sticker on the rear could be problematic depending on where the vehicle builder has placed the toilet casette door.

It will probably end up being another regulation that all other nationalities other than the French follow.😉

and does a motorhome of 3.5 tons have any less blind spots than those weighing more than 3.5tons.

Does this apply to caravans also, or just Mhomes? Anyone know?

Although mentions trailers, no idea whether that means a combined weight of vehicle and trailer? My outfit in total is 4000kg - car 2200, van 1800. 

I appreciate that but they are not required for vehicles of 3500kgs and under. I am still not convinced of their effectiveness, surely any cyclist/motorcyclist realises the danger of drawing alongside a large vehicle? The stickers won't do anything for the driver of the large vehicle who is the one who should be aware of road users around them.

I agree I can't see a few labels doing much good.  I have seen cyclist nearly squashed by pulling up besides large vehicles and vice versa when cycling I have been forced to get on to the pavement to avoid being squashed by vehicles drawing up besides me.  In my experience tuggers who seem to have forgotten they have a wide caravan on the back are the worst.
