ah well… better to give info twice than not at all…
and worth noting it suggests you keep the “insulated sleeve” so you can pop the bipandgo into that when you don’t want to use it and then pop the sleeve/bag into the glovebox or wherever… and it will rest calmly until you wake it up and resit it on the holder…
When I am on my motorcycle I keep the bipper in in a front pocket of my jacket , or in a small pouch attached to the front of my backpack if I’m wearing that.
I used to have one of the plastic holders attached to the inside of the windscreen of the bike, but it was so difficult to get the bipper out of the holder I decided to “wear” it instead. I didn’t want to leave the bipper attached to the bike permanently for obvious reasons.
Top lefthand corner of the screen, the exact opposite to the Crit’air sticker. Twenty years in that location in multiple (like 10 plus) cars in France, Italy and Spain (Bip&Go multi country option) and never a misread All lovely and symmetrical.
Opposite and mirroring the toll badge. A lot of research has been done on this and nine out of ten dentists recommended this position. Nine out of ten cats also prefer it, for our ailurophiles.
Not sure I agree with where you have stuck um John.
Having anything adhered to tge windscreen in top right or left is far more likely to intrude your road/viewing sightline than bottom left or right where it is almost invisible to the driver’s eye as the dashboard largely obscures it.
As for the toll bipper then definitely in close proximity to rear view mirror although our camping car doesn’t have one (only door mirrors) so the dotted area of the windscreen is clear to stick the bipper where we want.
I thought the bipper had to be in the dotted bit of the windscreen behind the mirror because there could be some electronic interference within the rest of the screen - electronics for automatic windscreen wipers or something?
The dotted zone is also devoid of heating elements on cars with electrically heated windscreens which can block the radio signals used for the various tag systems.
^ This. As mentioned in the graphic that @Stella and I posted, BipandGo recommend using the dotted area by the mirror so as to avoid possible interference with the signal.
It also keeps it tidily out of sight and leaves other parts of your screen clear for all your stickers such as resident’s parking, National Trust membership, football supporter’s club, Association of Latvian bird-watchers, and of course the all-important Crit’Air.
In truth, I have not a clue! I just remember a then technician back in the 80s or so when it all started. I think then the gubbins was in the barrier.
Anyway, it is all changing to APNR like airports, yes?
Wherever the thing is placed, it works well for me - even once when it fell down and slid behind the crash pad😀 it does not help ffor a wuick transition through s toll when the car in front is a French regd rhd without a passenger🤮
And this is exactly why I got a toll tag. I was quite pleasantly surprised to find that a new yellow holder is only €2, so I bought a couple to make it easier to swap between cars.
If only some would understand this. Got stuck behind a driver in the tag lane without a tag. Phone conversation and they eventually got through but not before I cursed them.
