In case of accident in France

Just in case you become involved in an accident in France, this might be helpful to all:

As you probably already know, you must always carry your driving documents including driving licence, carte gris(V5) and insurance certificate with you in the car in France.

Should you be unlucky enough to be involved in an accident there are certain procedures you must do. Firstly, if nobody is injured and both parties agree on the facts you are not obliged to call the police.

Your Insurance Company will have issued you with a Constat Amiable d'Acident or Accident Report sheet, which by law you must also have in the car at all times.

It should include the location of the accident; the names and addresses of both drivers; any witness names; all the licence details and the details of the other driver's insurer.

However, if you are in any doubt as to what has been written by the other party then do not sign it. Call the police on 112 or 17 - they will hopefully be able to clarify the situation.

Please also remember, in France it is the Law to stop and assist if you are the first on the scene of an accident or a vehicle in any form of trouble.

Mind you a Green Oval is allowed to bypass rice burners without stopping

My Insurance do know what i am doing but never said anything about a Accident Report sheet

If you email or PM me, I will mail you copy of the form, just send your email address to me, wither word doc, or pdf

Thanks for the very useful info Richard but let's hope none of us need to put it into practice.

Lets hope so.

Richie if you are coming to Asda next weekend could you bring a copy with you

This link has a UK version of the form;

As Jan says let's hope it's not used

Thanks,have printed it off but its a bit small is that ok?

Mark; Carry a magnifying glass and all will be good - also useful for starting the campfire

I can provide A4 size copies if anyone needs them

That would be good Thank you

Perhaps you could send one to Keith who could put a copy in each Teams starter pack

Keith, sorry to suggest more work for you

Awaiting a response from the uhmmmmmmmmmmmm organisers on that

Response now received. The form, in English, will be included in each Team pack

More penalty points for Team 15 & 18; reason - imposing more work on your caring, considerate, understanding, sympathetic and kind organisers

But a good idea (difficult words to spell ) - and no prob; a copy will be in each rally pack

hmmmmmmmmm somehow knew we would end up gaining more negative points, damn devious what are they called!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yes organisers

Devious?????

Don't stress yourself Wal, we will organise a towing rota, and rope in the organisers as well. Alternatively ask Tony for help, he seems to have plenty of spare time on his hands at the moment
