As of April 1, it will no longer be mandatory to display the automobile insurance certificate on the windshield of your vehicle. Until now, if a motorist did not or could not present valid proof of insurance, he faced a fine of 35 euros.

The Minister of the Economy presents it as a measure of “common sense which constitutes a important step in the simplification and modernization of the insurance system” Without a sticker, drivers will still have to keep an “insured memo” in their vehicle, the size of a credit card.
