I hope I’ve put this in the right section!
I’m trying to do a bit of forward planning for next year and at varying times of the year plan to travel through: France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, & Czech Rep.
I’m quite happy with the French, German, & Austrian systems, but not so much the others.
Now I’ve searched the AA, RAC, and a few internet sites but find them all soooooooooo confusing & contradictory. Some don’t mention Tolls/Vignettes at all.
Some sites say bikes are exempt others say not. Some say all vehicles, others say 2 wheels or more, (can’t recollect seeing that many one wheeled vehicles).
I got pulled in a roadside check last year in Germany last year and given the 3rd degree, but everything was in order, so I’d much rather pay a few Euros on a wasted Vignette than have to stump up hefty on the spot fines.
So can you tell me what countries I need a permit for? – and does it stop some of the messing about if you obtain them before you go?
I’m familiar with carrying high-viz, first-aid, breathalysers, documentation etc, (and again, views on these vary) but in what country do you need to carry a red triangle? Once more, - opinion varies.
Or does anyone know of a good website that can tell me?
