The Mail online ran a story yesterday "'Mr President, next time avoid the scooter': French car hire firms take advantage of Hollande affair scandal to poke fun in new adverts Car hire firm suggests he should've used a car with tinted windows"

The car hire company Sixt has run ad saying  'Mr President, next time avoid the scooter. Sixt rents cars with tinted windows.'

This is not the first time that Sixt has run ads suggesting those in the public eye in France hire a car.

Their ads have included another "President Hollande" ad, one for Carla Bruni suggesting a "people's carrier" and one for welcoming home DSK -  Dominique Strauss-Kahn
