Where should a Crit'Air sticker be placed?
Official advice is to place the French Crit'Air sticker on the right side of vehicle windscreen but for most UK cars this will impinge more than 40mm into zone B and won't that therefore be an MoT failure?

Placing the Crit' Air sticker in the lower right corner of your windscreen will allow it to be read by the automated systems in France. MoT guidelines state that a vehicle should only be failed if the view is significantly affected, so if the sticker is placed as low down and to the right as possible this should not be an MoT failure.
