  1. As there have been no replies I will try to help you, despite you not stating what class of licence entitlement you already have. If you just have a "B" licence (car), that covers quite a range of vehicles, for non -professional use for which no medical is required at age 70 unless you have medical or vision problems. https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F2827?lang=en
  2. https://www.ouest-france.fr/politique/michel-barnier-premier-ministre-emmanuel-macron-confirme-son-cap-a-droite-b920893a-6b7e-11ef-87ff-6b83746dd621 The head of state has also - and above all - obtained from the National Rally the commitment that he will not censure the future executive, at least not immediately. The RN also says it is waiting for the Prime Minister's general policy speech before Parliament to decide. "Michel Barnier seems to meet the first criterion that we formulated: being able to address the National Rally in a respectful manner," says Marine Le Pen. Who also calls for the establishment of proportional representation in view of the next legislative elections. She also demands that purchasing power, the fight against immigration and insecurity be the government's priorities. So many imperatives also put forward by the right-wing LR, which expects the President to let the executive determine and lead the Nation's policy.
  3. Can you legally drive at If your speed readout is accurate to within 1 kph - yeah why not. If you have more than two active brain cells - probably not. https://www.radars-auto.com/actualite/actu-radars-general/jusqu-a-quelle-vitesse-pouvez-vous-rouler-sans-perdre-de-points-tableau-officiel-1856
  4. Instead of "Ami" they should have called it "Roller" And 14 year olds can legally drive these in France? Can you remember what you were like at 14 years old? You didn't care and drove/rode everything you could get hold of, flat out everywhere when nobody was looking. Just like these youngsters:- https://www.thedrive.com/news/watch-this-tiny-citroen-ami-topple-over-at-monacos-famous-hairpin
  5. The French grid has a surplus of solar generated power, if you look at the UK graphs for imported power from france it starts at about 6 am and carries on through the day until about 7 pm. There are discussions about changing the heures creuse hours here from overnight to middle of the day, whether those hours will be permanent or changeable summer/winter hasn't been mentioned.
  6. The best and most easily understood guide to electricity supply and cost in France is Selectra. And it's in english if you need it. https://en.selectra.info/energy-france/guides/electricity/tariffs#what-is-included-in-the-electricity-bill-in-france
  7. Here's a "bullet" that Harris can't dodge, it's on her record. "A few months into her political career, Kamala Harris made a decision that would follow her for more than a decade — and will likely come up again now that she’s Joe Biden’s running mate. Shortly after Harris became San Francisco’s district attorney in 2004, a police officer was murdered by a gang member using an assault rifle*. Harris, sticking to a campaign pledge, said she wouldn’t pursue the death penalty for the killer. At officer Isaac Espinoza’s funeral a few days later, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, used her eulogy to attack Harris. “This is not only the definition of tragedy; it’s the special circumstance called for by the death penalty law,” Feinstein said. The thousands of cops in attendance at St. Mary’s Cathedral roared to their feet as Harris sat staring ahead stone-faced. “It was like a bomb,” said Chris Cunnie, a former head of the local police union who later went on to work for Harris and was sitting in a pew across the aisle from Harris when Feinstein delivered her rebuke. “I’ve never been in a church where the whole church was up clapping. The only person who didn’t stand up was the archbishop.” https://www.vice.com/en/article/progressives-think-kamala-is-a-cop-but-cops-hated-harris-for-years/ *Officer Espinonza was murdered in broad daylight by a gang member he saw carrying and attempting to conceal a rifle. He stopped the suspect who uncovered the rifle and shot Officer Espinoza five or six times.
  8. Kamala Harris has confirmed her selection of Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz, as her running mate in the US election – the man who went viral for calling Trump and JD Vance “weird”. Insightful… Walz has been lauded by the left for his “liberal policies” as Governor, which include making breakfast and lunch free for all students, allowing undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licences and signing a bill mandating schools to stock period products in boys’ loos. Aligns with Harris’ woke policies then… Walz is famous for his climate crusade, splurging hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to cut carbon emissions, while jacking up gasoline and motor vehicle sales taxes. He also slapped a 50-cent fee on deliveries over $100. He’s been slammed by Republicans for his tax-high budgets – proposing and implementing a fifth income-tax tier for married couples earning more than $1 million as well as higher tax rates on capital gains. His reason: “That just makes it fair”. Walz, along with tax-happy Harris, could create one of the most left-wing, high-tax environments America has seen in a long time… I'm sure the average US Liberal voter will think he's absolutely wonderful and the answer to all their dreams. The others, not so much.
  9. No can argue that there is more extreme weather events. Most You are a data denier, the average temperature nowadays is roughly the same as it was over a hundred years ago. There are less extreme weather events now than in the past, again you are a data denier;
  10. Hottest temperatures were a long time ago, if you look at the raw data instead of propaganda.
  11. Yes, what a disaster that would have been if that had coincided with a period of light or no wind or cloudy weather.!
  12. The problem that EDF are confronted with is that too much solar generation is connected to the power grid, compounded by fluctuating wind generation. This destabilises the way that the French nuclear power grid is supposed to be run, ie steady state base load generation, nukes don't like being throttled up and down to cope with the unreliable output of renewables, it leads to increased maintenance and cost. As France has 100 per cent nuclear backup for solar and wind, we don't need wind and solar generation at all. Wind and solar are, in fact, completely pointless.
  13. It's to embarrass Macron on the morning of the start of the Olympics. Who would want to embarrass Macron? Ok it's a long list, but the prime French candidate is Melenchon's extreme left rag-bag, as their candidate for prime minister has been turned down by Macron. It's likely the saboteurs were French as they knew exactly where to act to cause the maximum disruption.
  14. Perhaps the pedestrian/lawyer couple weren't aware of this:- "Pedestrians account for a significant proportion of road deaths. While you may be considered a priority on a number of roads, in different situations you do not have all the rights. Stay vigilant and do not take any reckless risks, particularly by crossing the road at random without ensuring that there is no danger to you or another road user" From https://www.securite-routiere.gouv.fr/reglementation-liee-aux-modes-de-deplacements/pietons-et-mobilite-urbaine/reglementation-des Maybe the subject couple were not seen to exercise sufficient caution in the opinion of the gendarme - ie actually looking both ways before they crossed? As many of us have seen ,many pedestrians just walk out in front of moving traffic without any observation, expecting the law to protect them.
  15. “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.” (Possibly Groucho Marx ) That should be engraved on Macron's tombstone, it sums up what he is about perfectly.
  16. I'm replying to this topic to provide a test post for Dave Lister for forum technical management.
  17. FAO Admin or moderators. My post above is in the forum name of "Armor" - my correct forum name is Harnser. How did that happen? And can you please correct it.
  18. "national priority in certain areas, in particular for access to employment and housing" Presumably you are not aware that in the UK, employers and landlords are compelled by law to investigate the immigration status of prospective employees and tenants? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/landlords-guide-to-right-to-rent-checks/landlords-guide-to-right-to-rent-checks-21-june-2024-accessible https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7b94a8e5274a7318b8f97c/summary-guidance.pdf
  19. "if Bardella succeeds in creating a second class of French citizen" Bardella is proposing that holders of dual-citizenship should not be considered for higher civil service posts. This is the same rule as in the UK and a lot of other countries, so not worthy of concern.
  20. I cannot believe that you think that the RN is a real threat compared to the rag-bag of socialists, communists, green loons, trots, and a their assorted hangers-on that makes up the hastily assembled Nouveau Front Populaire. An agreement between France's left-wing parties was reached on Thursday, June 13, under the banner of the Nouveau Front Populaire. It includes La France Insoumise (LFI), the Parti Socialiste (PS), the Greens (Europe Ecologie-Les Verts, EELV) and the Communist Party. It should worry all of us that Melenchon will be at the centre of it. One former adviser, who asked to remain anonymous, says those close to him both admire and fear him. “Ninety percent of the time Mélenchon is a brilliant orator and a brilliant strategist, but 10 percent of the time he is mad and paranoid,” he said. “He is a scale model of a charismatic dictator,” he added. I'll take the Le Pen option, assuming that Macron is touted as being a busted flush.
