Trip To Tte And Nurburgring

[sorted avensis]

EHIC=European Health Insurance Card which has replaced the old E111.

Your certainly up on your hi vis

That AA link doesn't mention hi vis but the site that i use say's it is now compulsory in Belgium.

[Jiberjaber]

They refer to it as "Reflective jacket/waistcoat (10)"

" (10) Wearing compulsory if driver and/or passenger(s) exits vehicle immobilised on carriageway – in Italy at night or in poor visibility, in Spain on all motorways and main or busy roads."

So the AA seam to think it applies to Italy... personaly I have one in the car at all times anyway (Jacket, vest and trowsers)... so I dont think it is a bad thing to get one irrespective of if you are in Europe or not :)

Guys, anyone know the law in european countries on GPS/laser detectors?

I know in france they don't like laser detectors, don't know about elsewhere.

[Mr Morse]

Laser detectors are generally hated by police forces worldwide - whether illegal or not. Ya pays ya money and takes ya chance

Laser detectors are a waste of money......

Anyway... back on topic...

This EHIC thingy can be applied for on line (I nicked this off TOC :) )

I've done mine & Josies.... all you need is to know where you live and your NI number (if you dont know what it is, check your pay slip... easiest place to find it :) )

Come on Zee... where's this hotel thread! ! :)

The laser detector came with the Origin B2 and has alerted me a few times.

Cheers for the link JJ, all covered. This is the first I have heard about the E111 being no more.

Back on topic, fluorescent jackets, will any colout colour do and does it need to be a jacket or will a vest suffice?

[Mr Morse]

Are helmets required?

[sorted avensis]

Are helmets required?

No, it's a toll road not a racetrack :winky:

Floro "vest" and any colour will do.

What breakdown companies have people used? I'm with the AA in UK, but have heard they won't cover the ring, although can't see anything in the T&C's

[Bazza]

I would like to come please :D

marks first meet :D

what car will you be bringing :o

[Jiberjaber]

I'm with the std RAC cover you get with Lexus, anyone know if it covers the Ring / Europe ?

AA and RAC specifically DO NOT cover the ring ! (look in european T&C`S )

they do cover the surrounding roads though !

seperate european cover should be taken out, for the duration we are going it is about £33 from either

[Jiberjaber]

Just to add to the breakdown cover... if you have the standard Lexus cover it does cover you for Europe (but not the ring AFAIK).

Good job I checked as I have been without cover since I got my car as the paperwork never made it to RAC!

[Mr-Lex]

As this next week, what route the majority getting to Dover? Plan for a convoy on the way...

Edited April 4, 2006 by Mr-Lex
