The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." the ban was enforced causing up to 4000 drivers to be fined, acording to Reuters (an international news agency), of which some had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine, although thanks to this ban the smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on tuesday
