witzend Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Brian Kirby - 2017-03-16 6:18 PM , I'd quite like to stick these to something that can be removed from the screen (yes, I know they are carefully designed to prevent removal and possible transfer between vehicles, but I'm only visiting, and getting a replacement is an unwelcome faff!). Yes me to, But I believe it's a offence if their not actually applied as intended and I'd not want to fall foul of the Polizei over 6€. I keep mine in a envelope and attach it when needed am on 2nd German one now due to windscreen replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 spospe - 2017-03-19 5:38 PM................I know that countries such as Austria and Switzerland require that you have their motorway vignettes even if you do not intend to use their motorways, should you be forced onto them as a result of congestion or accident. ............. Are you sure of this, Michael? If heading for Italy we normally use a non-autobahn/expressway route via the Reschen pass (via Landeck town to avoid the Landsdecker tunnel, which is part of the A12), and have never had/needed a maut. We once went for the old Brenner road, which turned out to have been closed by a landslide, and got diverted onto the A12 Brenner autobahn (at, I think, junction 19, just above Muhlbachl). I queried whether we needed to pay at the toll booth, and was told no, because the Brenner road had been closed the autobahn was free for diverted traffic. We just pulled off onto the SS12 at the Italian border. The main point about both Austria and Switzerland is that there are a number of non-motorway roads that are tolled but, if these are avoided (not always easy, the signs tend to direct to motorways, but the sat-nav knows!) there is no need for the maut/vignette (unless over 3.5 tonnes in Switzerland?).

Cruisecontrol Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hoping I'm not hijacking this thread - but for those of you who have completed the application form, a little help please. Using the English version of the form entitled "Vehicule informations" what did you put in the following sections: Serial number - is this the V5 log book number? Brand - in my case would this be Fiat? Trade name - and again for me, would this be Auto Trail? Perhaps I'm being a bit thick here, so any comment would help (Not on me being thick - I've already got an expert in the house telling me that daily!)

Are you sure of this, Michael? Brian I am quoting in good faith what I have been told by a normally reliable source (Caravan Club) and that is that a vignette is required when using a qualifying road, no matter how you come to be using it. I know it seems unfair to expect a traveller to pay when they have been forced onto the road, but that is what has been explained to me.

We were in Austria last week and I was trying to persuade the OH to buy one even though we did not intend to travel on the motorways because of my poor navigation skills. Ever the skinflint he decided the threat of having to pay a fine if we joined one due to my mistake should mean that I would make a bigger effort. :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spospe Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 So Austria seems OK, but I have just spoken to the nice man in the Caravan Club (sorry, Caravan and Motorhome Club) and he is adamant that in Switzerland a vignette is required no matter what are the circumstances.

Keith T Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 On the assumption that there are more towns and cities in France jumping on the bandwagon, and when we go to France in May/June its unlikely we will know in advance where we are going or whether the town has by then gone onto the system, we may we advised to get the disc. Is it going to be one disc for the whole for France, though or will each town /area (?) have its own!! Do they have an expiry date, issued for a tear or Jan - December or what?? The rate of successful application to completion and delivery doesn't seem to be very high on this forum!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will86 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Crit'Air: The Air Quality Certificate, an act of good citizenship to promote cleaner vehicles. I read the above published information as a 'polite & persuasive' message only, that means nothing other than a request. Yet everyone appears to be rushing to join in with offers of cash. WHY ?

Derek Uzzell Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Will86 - 2017-03-20 6:37 PM ...Yet everyone appears to be rushing to join in with offers of cash. WHY ? 1: it gives UK motorcaravanners something (else) to talk/moan about on forums. 2: Obtaining the certificate presents an amusing intellectual challenge. 3: The cost is small. If obtaining a certificate were to cost, say, €30, it’s certain that few UK motorcaravanners would be applying for one on a ‘just in case we go to Paris, Lyon or Grenoble’ basis, or in the expectation that other French cities might suddenly introduce anti-pollution measures based on the same ’sticker’ system.

Charles Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ordered mine last Friday, I'll stick it to my unused tablet screen saver first then to the windscreen so it will look like its stuck directly to the screen but removable if the windscreen goes. The screen saver will need trimming down of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
