Tips for European driving trips W
ith the good old British weather remaining as unpredictable as ever, lots of families are packing up their
cars and driving to Europe’s holiday spots for a summer get away. Wherever you’re headed, breakdown cover and road safety organisation, ‘GEM Motoring Assist’ has important driving tips to make sure you steer clear of confusion over the ever-changing rules and regulations and know exactly what to do should you breakdown. ‘Your Introduction to Driving in Europe’ is a free leaflet and and a great guide for even the most experienced drivers. The leaflet includes information on ‘before you travel’, ‘country by country’ information, and what to do ‘if things do go wrong’. Top tips to be prepared: • A service – it makes sense to have a service before you go, but as a minimum make sure to check the tread on the tyres, oil and water levels. • Vehicle Registration Document – keep this with you at all times, never leave it in the car. • Nationality plate – this must be the approved pattern, design and size. • MOT Certificate – if your car is more than three years old, make sure you take this with you. • Mechanical adjustments – be aware of the headlight requirements, you may need beam deflectors. • Driving Licence – take both parts of your licence with you, and if you haven’t updated your licence do it now as the new style is valid in all EU countries. These are just a few tips to print a copy of the leaflet go online at
