I have heard you need the following....

Insurance - LOL
Triangle ?
First Aid Kit ?
Light Deflectors ?


IS there anything else - aside from AA RAC etc

 

Fire extinguisher is recommended, spare lamp kit, log book and one of them Blue forms you fill in if you crash

 

So Bulbs.

Got the fire extinguisher

Cheers mate.

 

your usual insurance policy automatically covers you third party throughout europe, and there's no need for a green card anymore. you should bring the V5 with you and keep with you in the car at all times. the same with your insurance cetificate and driving licence.

depends where in europe you are going, but in some countries some items are compulsory, e.g. triangle, buls, fire ex, flourescent warning vest etc.

unless you have separate travel insurance, taean e111 form with you as well. that will get you any medical treatmet that you need i europe, paid for by the nhs. without that, you will have to pay everything first, and if that includes a helicopter ride off the nuerburgring for instance, it won't be fun, and it won't be cheap.

hope you make it to the 'ring this year. would like to see you and your motor there

 

oh, and have you got a spare wheel? it's all too easy to pick up a puncture or clip a kerb if you're not carrying one.

 

Compulsory items when travelling in Europe

Whole of Europe -> 1 triangle, Spain -> 2 triangles
Germany -> extinguisher
Spain, Italy, Austria -> reflective vest

box of spare bulbs, first aid box, glass/window breaker & small can of air -> not compulsory but highly recommended (don't think they can "do you" for not having one tho)

Should always have with you -> driving license, registration papers of vehicle, MOT certificate (control technique), insurance papers, proof of id (as if you still have a old license without photo, its not a proof of id), accident form, medical form

Number to call from anywhere in Europe in case of an emergency: 112

HTH

 

Despite what Nick says, I would contact the insurance company to be on the safe side

 

Tippex......oops sorry I meant suncream!!!

 

BOLLOX:

-extinguisher is compulsary in Belgium, not Germany.
-medical form not needed
-accident form not compulsary but handy anyway
-triangle not compulsary in all countries if you have working alarmlights
-112 is emergency services number in Holland but i didn't think it was the same all over Europe....

 

Mrs Frog is Ueropean mate so i think she knows what shes on about

 

You all forgot the most important thing: the biggest toolbox in the world

 

I think you'll find it's just as easy to pick up a puncture even if you are carrying a spare...

 

Sod's law says that it's much more likely if you don't have a spare though

 

Stealth Bomber, of course it is, but if you have a spare, you can do something about it.

it's fact that your car is covered third party in europe on a normal policy. what is normally restricted to a certain number of days, is the cover above the minimum third party - e.g. fire and theft, or fully comp. normally your insurere will give you a minimum of 30 days of that extra cover in Europe, providing that you notify the dates of travel to them.

whether your fully comp insurance will pay out on the 'ring is another matter.

 

Graig: I'm DUTCH you plank!!!

How about this then bud.......

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Passion Ford!!!!!

 

That's german you thick british arse

 

 

PMSL!!!!!

I'll explain the joke:

Once there was an Austrian painter that was rather crap so he decided to conquer Europe and kill all the jews, wich makes perfect sense if you're a rather crap Austrian painter but not if you have full command over you mental abillities, and his spoken language was German.

Now said person used to sport a small moustache, remarkably simular to the one in my avatar and he used to belt out catchphrases in German at rallies and so on.

One of the more famous ones (amongst classics like: "Hans wo ist mein bratwurst?" and "Eva du blote zou, ich hat gesacht nur cola light!") was:

"Ein volk, ein reich, ein fuhrer!"

Wich roughly translated means:

"One peoples/race, one empire, one leader/ruler!"

 

Never bothered with any of that, just made sure I was insured and had breakdown cover really.

 

dont forget the large selection of snacks drinks and porn mags for the deafened passenger ding

Well Hooligan, I only took it from the european motorway official website....... so I would assume it is fairly correct...
