Gyn_Paul Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I was asked a question, the other day, and I answered with complete assurance (as is the wont of a natural smart-arse), but on the way home I got to thinking, and realised I was assuming....Now if I know one thing, here in france it's never assume. So I'll ask the question anyway. Even though it seems daft. -Can Transit-size vans (or in my case Boxer-size) be driven on a Sunday ?My original answer, by the way, was ".. if it's big enough for a tacco, it's got to get off the road: smaller than that is OK."p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyh4 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yes I know SD that there are exceptions - and quite a lot - unfortnately some functionaire has updated the Bison F site and all of that useful information has disappeared - even used to have it in English.

Sunday Driver Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Andy - it's a b****r when they change official websites and lose the information you spent hours searching for......[:(]I agree with your original point about (most) "heavies" being prohibited from driving at weekends.
