UK cars - where to put your Crit'Air sticker

well, if you’re not anticipating driving in the C’A areas, no worries… take your time… :+1:
(but you might like to leave the sticker in the glove compartment, just in case you are out driving and suddenly find you need it… aaaaargh. )

Good thought

Sorry, but that information is incorrect. According to the MoT testers guidance…

In practice, the annual test will check that items placed in or stuck to the windscreen or surface damage, cracks or discolouration in the windscreen do not seriously obscure the vision of the driver. In order to better define what maybe permissible the windscreen is divided into zones:

Zone A is a vertical area 290mm wide, centred on the steering wheel and contained within the swept area of the windscreen (this area is 350mm wide on vehicles over 3.5 tonnes);

  • Zone B is the remainder of the swept area of the windscreen*

In Zone B, a single damaged area shall be contained within a 40mm diameter circle. Windscreen stickers, or other obstructions, shall not encroach more than 40mm.

This thread’s like some sort of horror movie where you think the subject’s dead, but then it just gets back up again…

Sorry it’s my fault - I accidentally linked to it in another thread… :smiley:

Could you just remind me where exactly the sticker should be? I’m not sure I understood.

Just ordered a new Crit Air sticker for the new car.

Maybe it’s minor memory loss following the accident, but I can’t remember exactly where on the windscreen…

Are you inside the car looking out, or standing in front of it looking at the windscreen? That may affect the validity of our advice. :smiley:

Apropos [quote=“DrMarkH, post:313, topic:41075”]
Just ordered a new Crit Air sticker for the new car.
[/quote]

Have now received an acknowledgement informing me that my order is being processed and that its number is 24287375653846.

According to France: car fleet | Statista. in 2023 there were only 38,900,000 cars in France, many of which of course won’t have a Crit Air Cert,

24287375653846 - 38900000 = 24,287,336,753,846.

Explanations welcome…

There’s a decimal point missing? :wink:

Futureproofing. :slight_smile:

They are expecting a lot of overseas visitors to register in the next few years.

More to the point

24287375653846/8000000000 = 3035

Or simply generating a quasi random order number to reduce the chance that a customer will quote the wrong one.

That’s far too sensible. :slight_smile: Although the more digits, the more scope for getting the number wrong - imagine having to read that one out over the telephone!
