driving abroad
Does anybody know if there are any restrictions on driving in france I.e minimum age
length you have held a full licence etc?

Most EU countires let you drive as soon as you've passed your driving test (ie. when you're 17), but in France you have to be 18 to be able to drive. If you've had a driving license for less than two years you have to stick to the 'wet weather' speed limits in France, which is 110 kph on the motorway and 100kph for dual carriage ways.
You don't have to update your license or anything to drive in France, although you can download an IDP form from the RAC website. THis is basically the same as your normal driving license, except it's translated into 10 different languages so it's easier to understand. But legally, you just need your normal UK driving licenses (though the IDP might make it easier!)

25 is the most common mainly because this is when your insurance drops in price by loads.
Yup - lots will let you drive @ 21 but they'll charge you a young/inexperienced drivers fee on top of the rental price (virgin charged me $3 a day back in 2000)
Yeh in European countries you can drive with a full licence, but further afield i think i remember reading you need to order a permit, not sure if thats the same as a IDP?
When i went to Turkey last year, i hired a scooter, which was loads of fun and really cheap, something like 10 million for a whole day. I think you may have needed a licence or something, but they just werent bothered, i didnt even wear a helmet and passed loads of police, here my friend did that on his scooter and got prosecuted, £100 fine and 3 points!
