Alas no idea beyond the fact that you have 12 points attached to your name if you drive and you lose or regain them according to how you drive. If your total gets too low, so about 4 or 5 maybe they send you a letter suggesting you go on a course (driving safety/ road awareness or the like) which buys you back points. I mainly have all my points but a few years ago was down to about 4 because of losing a point here, a point there… And you don’t get them back as fast if you’re a repeat offender.
A friend and colleague of mine lost her licence that way, commuting, and had to do 1. a course with a psychologist to learn better behaviour and then 2. redo the theory bit of her licence and wasn’t allowed to drive for a year.
Any vehicle makes you redevable whether you need a licence or not, you can be prosecuted for being drunk on a bicycle.
As luck would have it there’s actually an article in The Connexion today that discusses the virtual points system a little, at least i now know it’s not something i dreamt that doesn’t actually exist!
I’ve never had a French licence and I think they just link the points to the carte grise.
Oh so foreign drivers will be allowed to tailgate, drive on the wrong side of the road round a blind bend, what a good idea 
It’s called “integration” 
Also just walking, trying to cross the street.
Talking of which, tail-gating hasn’t really been an issue for me previously, but this last trip there seemed to be a number of drivers that really wanted to occupy space in my boot, particularly in the Jura. Perhaps it’s a regional thing?
Covering several regions on my journeys down, I don’t believe it is. Although I am often the only one travelling at the maximum allowed speed for a given section of road. Overtaken by locals mainly
It drove us crazy there! One small thing we do not miss.
only downhill.
You’re just slowing down mate. Happens to us all 
6,000€ could get you a REAL Citroen Ami. Probably safer in an accident, Definitely lower insurance, respect rather than distain from other motorists, no range anxiety, CT every 5 years, loads of room for dog and shopping. Very simple mechanics, so little to go wrong and cheap to repair with good parts availability.
Might be an idea to explain this… 
I have some photos somewhere of my Ami next to one of these owned by a guy in the next village. I was in the pharmacy one day and he accosted me on the way out for a little photoshoot! I knew they came in a similar blue but I didn’t realise just how much it matched until we put the two nose to nose! He rides in the classic car procession for the annual fete each year and we joke that I’ll give him the day off one year and take up the slack of representing the Ami!
With a vehicle de collection carte gris, you only need a controle technique every 5 years and classic car insurance is very cheap through specialist brokers
My first car back in 1973 was a red Ami 8, I loved that car despite the teasing from the boys whose bikes had bigger engines.
If having a VSP is not really necessary, then a used Renault Zoe looks nicer to me than a new Ami for mixed road use.
In cities the Ami has a lot going for it, but out in the sticks? I reckon on something a little quicker, and a bit more robust.
Lighter cars will always do worse than heavier cars, all other things being equal. No ordinary car will ever win in an argument with a tractor, but a proper car will be better than a VSP when it encounters a fool in a country rust bucket.
Put 'roo bars, extra spots, and go faster stripes on the Zoe: King of the Road!
Renault lent me a Zoe when they were doing the annual check on the R5. I honestly thought it was an awful car.
How so?
