Driving in the French Aples

Make sure you have PROPANE gas and covers for the fridge vents. You will probably be metered for electricity.  This summer we noted that snow tyres were needed on the A75 in the winter months.  As I understand it, if your headlights are the flat toped type or can be adjusted to be non dazzle when driving on the right deflectors are not required.  Oh yes, those pesky 30 kph roads in towns and speed bumps - they are everywhere!  I'm a bit with ET re skiing hols fly or drive and stay in a nice warm hotel with drying room etc!!

Thank you for highlighting this. We have removed the PDF. We created a new webpage last year when the French regs changed which you can view here: Overseas Winter Equipment

Beam deflectors can do more harm than good, especially with high energy discharge and LED headlamps. They can reflect some of the light back into the headlamp unit, causing scatter and that, in turn, can actually result the dazzle that they strive to prevent. Such headlamps must therefore never be fitted with beam deflectors or beam benders.
