I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure even the French don't know what the French laws are. I have lived here for over 21 years. I used to have a driving job where I would drive more than 130.000 Kilometers a year and was stopped loads of time for routine checks. Never been asked for any of the above . I was once asked to show my driving log book where you log the hours driven. I didn't know the permitted driving hours had changed to a max of 12 hours for a 3.5 ton vehicle. I had been driving 18 hour stints with break for 45 minutes every four hours. The Gendarme who was a traffic control officer told me " You can't do these hours, if you get caught you will be in trouble " I'm still wondering to this day, If I get caught by who?
