But I assume M&S don't insure French registered cars? Rgds Mike

I have seen this debate several times. Is is compulsory to change your UK driving license to a French one? see http://www.rhone.pref.gouv.fr/web/77-echange-permis-etranger.php   (I live in 69) Extract:  Cette mesure ne s'applique pas aux détenteurs d'un permis de conduire en cours de validité issu de l'un des pays de l'Union Européenne pour lequel l'échange n'est pas obligatoire. Le permis de conduire doit être enregistré en Préfecture. So if you register your license (they give you a blue certificate "Enregistrement d'un permis de conduir l'Union Européenne" , which I have) so I don't see a need to change my license. Rgds Mike

I have European breakdown insurance with ADAC (I used to live in Germany and kept it going) for 98 Euros per year. Rgds

Sorry for my ignorance but I can't figure out which of the regional sub-forums includes Lyon? Rgds Mike

Hi Everyone Just joined the forum. I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to pay the CMU contributions (cotisations) to the URSSAF other than by quarterly cheques? My wife and I are not employed and are not of UK state pension age but have been accepted into the CMU-B (now that our E106's ran out in Jan'09). I found a form on the URSSAF web site which appeared to be to request a password to have access to their site to view payments and make payments but after a visit to our local URSSAF ( Villefranche-sur-Saône) they told me that this is only available to businesses. Seems strange as with all other payments I make (e..g taxes, utilities) I can do its on-line except for this single one. Has anyone else got a different experience? Rgds Mike
