Hi Ken,Have just bought the usual stick on deflectors. Used them last year and if I remember correctly you use only the circular section. Placement was tricky but details are in the leaflet.
Have a good trip.

Did you buy the stick-on ones available from Halfords etc ?kept the deflectors in the packet in the glovebox
I have seen vans pulled over for weight checks etc by French police.
They also have different speed limits for towing downhill !!Have i forgotten anything???
Yes it would as that would be discriminatory. The way around that is to pat a toll on UK motorways for everybody but, honestly, I doubt if many UK citizens would want that.KenB said:Hi Dave
They use our motorway system for free too.
We should impose a standard charge ........ but that would probably be illegal !!

What annoys me most is the fact that many of the motorways here in Spain and in Portugal have been built with EU money and we still have to pay a toll. In the end, this means that most people avoid these highways and still use the old roads.
Alternatively, one could do away with road tav and tolls altogether and put the charge on the price of fuel - user pays! Even visitors to the UK need to buy fuel.
Interestingly, in South Africa the price of fuel includes third-party insurance which I think is great. It means that every motorist has third-party insurance. I am sure many have had an accident with an unisured driver and know the negative consequences very well. Why then can we not have a similar regime here in Europe?
Yep why do you think we enjoy driving on your motorways, much quieter than ours.
I have thought for a long time that tax etc should be included in the price of fuel, that way no tax dogers and the more you use the more you pay.
I believe other countries have 3rd party ins included, in Australia I think it is part of the road tax, we are way behind the times in the UK.
I am sure that we all agree that we pay way too much tax on fuel!Dilligaf said:Don't you think we pay enough tax on fuel. You'll just encourage more stealing of fuel.
Thank you kindly sir.Dave47 said:Perhaps next Minister of Transport .... I will vote for you.![]()
