Wapping will be along probably before I finish typing !!!

But,as far as I know you don't need breathalysers.I never carry them as I hear you are supposed to carry them but they can't fine you for not carrying.
But you are supposed to carry spare bulbs and hi viz jackets.Also you have to be able to don hi viz jackets without getting off the bike.

That's it.I think !!!

Yes, breathalyser, hi-viz of some description, is what I am taking. Plus all relevant bike documents.

Last year I bought an took with me reflective helmet stickers but not used them. It is a grey area with helmets in France. Some say you need to apply reflective stickers others saying you don't unless you bought the lid in France and you are a resident there. No idea.

Ok thank you for that ��.. not been over for a couple of years..
 
Carry your V5 on the continent. If you break down, some recovery companies won't touch you without the V5.
 
Not teaching you to suck eggs but it's worth making a copy of these docs and sticking them to the underside of your seat.
If you already do this tell me to feck off.:D

Passport
Driving Licence (including paper document if new credit card type)
Motorcycle Registration Document (original)
Insurance & MOT documents (original)
Breakdown Assistance / Repatriation Cover
Personal Travel Insurance
European Health Insurance Card

Don't forget to take your originals as well.:rob:hide



Ps. The best rule is,... pass the attitude test if you get pulled over by the polis.:)
 
And if you going into Paris or close then you need a permit thingy. Will leave it to Wapping the expert for more info on it.

Hi-biz only applies to motorway breakdowns, is that correct? Why carry bulb set for a bike that has LED lamps all round?

I thought hi viz was mandatory everywhere.

You are supposed to carry spare bulbs for your bike.If your bike doesn't use them then you don't carry them !!
 
I take a copy of my V5 and insurance certificate. And keep my driving licence with me. The rest of the shite really isn't necessary.

I'd rather die than be seen with high vis, so if they want to deport me for not having a waistcoat, then so be it.

And, Arsey, if you dare post that fucking doctored picture of yours, I'm going to come to your house and burn your phone, computers, all your hard drives, and log into your fucking cloud and wipe EVERYTHING.:rob

I suppose "rest of the shite" includes maps for southern Europe????

Sorry, I couldn't resist it! :comfort:comfort:thumb:thumb

Hi viz ? Nah ... breathalyser? stuff it .. Bulbs ? Forget em

LA PRIORITÉ À DROITE‎ – Is what you need to know
 
Google what the regs are.

Make your own mind up as an intelligent adult re what you need to do.

I'm out in France at the moment. Only difference to what I do in the UK is I have my licence on me.
Same as every time I go to the European mainland.

Bon chance :)
