Existing laws require all motorists driving in France to carry a warning triangle and a high-visibility vest, while UK drivers must display a ‘GB’ badge and have headlights adjusted for driving on the right

Interesting that little titbit. My car is a Vauxhall Insignia and there are no markings on the headlamp lenses. So how do I position the beam benders?
Also my number plates both on the car and caravan bear the EU logo and the GB letters. Am I still required to apply GB stickers to both vehicles?
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers!

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
You don't need GB stickers if you have 'euro' numberplates. You probably don't need beam benders either. I have letter from from Citroen GB stating that they are not needed on my current model Berlingo.
The reason modern headlights do not need benders is that the left hand 'spotter beams' only illuminate onto road & not upwards to dazzle oncoming motorists. There has never been a law requiring beam benders, there is only a requirement that you do not dazzle oncoming motorists.

At €1.15 each think I'll splash out in France in the summer. They are never going to be used just kept at the back of the glove box forever!
Think you'll find they only last a set period, 2 years i think.

Yes, now available at supermkt checkouts. I got a couple of packs at the Dunkirk Auchan yesterday for a couple of €s. I was looking in the motoring section. Asked the assistant, who took me to where they were displayed at checkout.
Quite hard to spot tho among the sweets/phone sim's etc, I was expecting some sort of large display perhaps. Just ask for 'ethylotest'.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
