As of January 1, 2021, France has mandated 'Angles Morts' blind spot stickers on vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons for safety purposes.Â
'Angles Morts' is a French expression meaning blind spots. These stickers are intended to make all road users more aware of the blind spots from Heavy Goods Vehicles (a.k.a HGV).
A blind spot refers to the zone where the driver can not see in their mirrors and areas are hidden by parts of the structure of their vehicle. It is a dangerous zone where other road users, such as cyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists, may be present without the driver being able to see them directly through their mirrors.Â
Failure to comply with this regulation can result in fines and penalties in accordance with French traffic laws. Therefore, it is important for drivers of vehicles falling under this regulation to ensure they have correctly applied the required blind spot stickers.Â
