seb47 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have signed my carte internationale d'assurance which I keep with the carte grise and take everywhere.However I overheard a conversation today suggesting that the small green certificate d'assurance displayed on the windscreen - needs to be initialed - otherwise at risk of being fined. Anyone else heard this as our insurer did not point this out to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi SebMy neighbour metioned the same to me, she read it in one of the magazines that deals with laws etc. I have signed mine just to be sure. I think the fine was around 100 euro and the gendarmes had been 'instructed' to enforce the law!! Our insurer wasn't aware either, maybe it is a new law???Kimberly 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikew Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 You must sign your 'green card' (and if you go to UK all drivers must sign it) but the signing of the etiquette on the windscreen is a MYTH! Look it up on google.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Driver Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 [quote user="seb47"]But apparently les gendarmes don't read google as our friend was fined!Sue.[/quote]But the gendarmes do read their traffic law manuals and as there's no such offence, they could not have charged your friend with it. He/she must have committed some other infraction at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
