CA sticker fits snugly in the correct place on my XF…
No problems with the UK MOT so far.
However, the motorhome has it’s CA sticker in the bottom left (I was young and innocent when I fitted it) but have had no problems with the Flicks in the time we have been driving it in France.
I’ve just started s to do list for the weekend. 1st on list is to order my sticker. I’m so excited you can’t imagine!!!
I don’t think they care but I read somewhere that the positioning is to allow for automatic reading of the stickers by cameras in due course.
Just make sure its the real Gov site, friend fell foul of a bogus one after 8 weeks no sticker. Its only 4 euros but they must be making a killing. Shame controlls cannot act as quickly as the can to issue a ticket!
I spoke to a French traffic officer about this in the Bosgouet Aire south of Rouen in March this year.
He said that the main enforcement of Crit’Air infractions will be by roadside cameras . The stickers are mainly to allow easy identification of non-complying parked vehicles by foot-based patrols including traffic wardens etc.
I mentioned the Nantes situation to a French friend because I know he goes to Nantes quite often. He had never heard of Crit Air, nor had his mother. I went to get mine out of the glovebox to show them and noticed that the date on the letter was July 2019. I hope it will sill stick to the windscreen. My friend is ordering his this evening. I warned him about the bogus sites so he copied the web address off my letter.
The thread that just keeps on giving 
We exist to serve. 
I’m on it! Entered everything and its saying its performing a TLS handshake and has been for 5 minutes. With a white screen of death 
it’ll be alright (fingers crossed)
I’m trying to send 42 pages of photos and the “blue line” showing progress has been awfully still for the last 10 minutes … aaargh
Woo hoo! I refreshed and it worked!!! Downloaded my proof so even if my sticker doesn’t arrive I’m good to go!!
Woo hoo! indeed… my file of photos has finally uploaded and zipped off and away to it’s destination…
Next finally 100% finish my sons nationality declaration and send that on Monday!!
The c/a position imposed suggests it is for easy reading from the ‘kerbside’ by someone foot. The QR code provides automatic reading by handheld device.
Most camera/ transponder enforcement prefers a centre top windscreen position e.g. autoroute tags etc.
Normally I would agree with you, but Internet Law provides that my stating that “I read it somewhere” means that I am 100% right.
It will most likely be ANPR to the database of registered vehicles. Kirbside as others have said.
good grief, is this starting anew ? where to put it … ???
it’s Hamlet all over again… aaaargh
Maybe local councillors will decide to make a Critair killing somewhere behind Arras…
Coller la vignette ou ne pas coller, telle est la question…
I wondered who’d get it…
