You are permitted to drive in the EU if you have a photocard driving licence issued in the UK, but might need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in some EU countries and Norway if you have an older-style paper driving licence or a licence issued in Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of Man. On the road, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, motorized personal transporters and pedestrians are smaller and less visible than a car to drivers of heavy vehicles. They are thus easily found out of their field of vision, in their blind spots. Caravans are not covered by MOT tests but you are still responsible for their roadworthiness, so the Club recommends they regularly serviced, and tyres replaced every five to seven years from the date of manufacture. The law has been implemented to increase the protection of vulnerable road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists, to better understand the existence and position of blind spots on heavy vehicles. Article 2 of the decree indicates that the signage must be affixed on the rear face of the vehicle, to the right of the longitudinal median plane and at a height between 0.90 and 1.50 meters from the ground ... and in the first meter in front of the vehicle, excluding glass surfaces, on the left and right, and at a height of between 0.90 and 1.50 meters from the ground.

Probably few UK motorcaravanners have an over-3500kg motorhome so little above that threshold, but the comparison is still valid as far as the French regulation is concerned. France and Germany had already negotiated a relaxation of the general driving-licence regulations to permit electric vehicles up to 4250kg GVW to be legally driven on a “B” entitlement, and - for 'alternatively fuelled vehicles’ -a similar relaxation became law in the UK in late-July 2018.
