....in other words as long as you are a visitor on a short break then if the paperwork for the car is in order in the country of registration, then it's in order for wherever you go.




I think one exception to that is the minimum age to drive in France is 18, so a 17 yearold cannot drive on holiday over there.

Re: Continental touring.

Nothing that's new. That rule has been in existance for a long time, like no children under 12 in the front seats. Another one is trying to take a LWB Land Rover Safari or a mini-bus across to the continent. They need a tachograph AND you have to be 21 to drive it over here. Each European country has it's own specific regulations, but as far as I know none of them are likely to change post Brexit.

Location: Gard, France 30960. Used to be Languedoc-Roussillon but now it's Occitanie

Re: Continental touring.

Maybe the nice people in the insurance companies will think it appropriate to start charging us for Green Cards again...

Re: Continental touring.

Don't forget the maximum £25 currency limit. All my continental friends seem to have started to regard UK as a pariah state. I wish I'd bought that place in Brittany I saw for £17k in 1996...too late now!
