Customer feedback : Liza, We have just returned from 2000 miles of roof down driving in France and would like to thank you for an excellent product.

Driving in Europe
The
basic legal framework of European road traffic law stems from a number of Road
Traffic Conventions to which all central European countries are signatories.
Over the years since ratification, a plethora of rules and regulations have
flowed from the individual European countries, including the UK.
However, each Country still retains its own legal system, laws and regulations
some of which are more unique than others, both in content and interpretation,
and in regional and local enforcement.
In
consequence, the position of the UK motorist driving on the European Continent
can be a veritable minefield of problems, particularly regarding the carrying of
motoring accessories such as those relating to emergency and breakdown equipment
which are required by law.
Insurance Policies
Somewhere, in the small print of most Motor Insurance Policies, is a statement
to the effect that it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that the
vehicle complies with the law and is roadworthy for the Country he intends to
visit. Failure to discharge this responsibility could result in the Company
repudiating liability under the Policy.
Failure
to Comply
In the
event of prosecution and conviction for failure to comply with the legal
requirements, the courts in all EEC countries have wide powers to impose
swingeing penalties, and the arresting officers have extensive powers to impose
“on the spot fines”.
On the
Spot Fines
The
moment these are demanded, they have to be paid in cash, in the local currency,
to the arresting officer. Credit cards or travellers cheques are not accepted,
and in some countries inability to pay, risks impounding the driver’s vehicle
until the fine is paid.
Motoring Equipment
The aim
of this information is to ensure that you are advised as to the road safety
equipment and the European requirements for driving in Europe.
Headlamp Beam Adaptors
Your
vehicle's headlamps are specifically designed for driving in the UK on the left
hand side of the road. Consequently, when driving in Europe on the right, your
headlamps will dazzle oncoming drivers. This is dangerous and illegal. When
driving at any time, day or night, this dazzle must be prevented by
adapting your headlamps.
GB
Plate/Sticker
Required by International Law to indicate Country of Registration.
Spare
Bulb Kit
All
lamps, including lenses and reflectors must be in working order, even during
daylight hours.
Failure
to be in a position to replace a blown exterior bulb could result in temporary
cessation of your journey and/or a spot fine.
Warning
Triangles
If your
vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident you must give prior warning to
approaching traffic by placing a Warning Triangle 50 – 150 metres behind your
vehicle.
The use
of Hazard Warning Lights alone is NOT sufficient as they cannot always be
seen far enough ahead to give advance warning.
Two
Warning Triangles are required for Spain.
First
Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher
The
European Good Samaritan Law requires every driver to stop and provide assistance
when encountering an accident or incident, providing it is safe to do so.
This
may require a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher and it is therefore strongly
advisable to carry these items when driving in Europe.
Reflective Vest
Anybody providing roadside assistance, or leaving a stranded vehicle, should
always wear a reflective vest to ensure their own safety. This is becoming a
legal requirement in an increasing number of European countries. Sample legal
Refs: RD 1428 / 2003 and Art.162 Cod4 Bis4 Ter – CDS 2003.
