There is a rising revolt in France at present in the biking community as it bans them as well, same as Spain but in Spain its been tested you van wear a helmet with speakers just not anything that actually goes in the ear. perhaps this is the answer.

What is the definition of having your radio or audio cassettes 'too' loud?

As per usual they haven't worked that one out yet. It will undoubtedly initially depend on the Gendarmes taste in music

What is "Prohibition of search in the box has gloves en roulant " ?

Is that looking in glove box while driving?

It's good to hear of these things. Last year after a 3am crossing I used ear buds and my iPhone to listen to music while the family slept, can't do that now .
Not likely to be doing a crossing that early again though so not too much of an issue for us.

No looking in the glove box has been defined as acceptable Looking only....I was reading a paper cant remember which one this morning it best translates to digging or rooting in the glove box eg a hand in there and gawd help you if your rooting for your mascara and that's even when stationery. Suggests you keep the mascara and lip gloss in your pockets as that is not an offence to have a root in there. Dont go there, there are so many other gags mostly popping up on French forums.

A friend of mine is a Spanish surgeon. He calls Spanish motorcyclists 'donors'. Perhaps anything that keeps them alive is worth it.

These laws in France seem to come and go. The breathalyser was a farce as no way were the French going to spend money on these things. They'd rather have another Ricard!! These things tend to apply mainly in the cities and the gendarmes around here are usually locked in their compound. I have just driven all the way to South of Spain and back in five days and apart from a couple of Guradia Civil I did not see a single gendarme anywhere on my journey in France!!
