What everyone should be worrying about is the stop line. Gendarmes in our area are enforcing this with an an the spot fine: that can be 90 euros. My friend stopped and moved forward. The police informed him that he had not stopped for four seconds at the line. Okay, raise your eyebrows but be warned.
I'll second that. And while I'm on, for those planning a foray to la belle france, don't forget the priorité ŕ droite rule (car coming in from the right having right of way unless you are on a trunk road marked with yellow diamond signs or where the road has a stop or give way sign).
