Driving Uk Car Through Spain

[LeeG]

Hi All.

I have a couple of questions, hoping some of you have had experience in.

I have a 2009 IS250 SE/L with media.

I'm driving through Spain in September. Do Lexus do any kits for driving abroad? I know I need the following for Spain:

2 warning triangles

High viz jackets (one for each occupant, can't wait to see my 12 month old in the 'One size, fits all')

Replacement bulb kits

Anyone have any website recommendations for purchasing from?

I'm also going to update my Nav DVD befoew I travel. Has anyone had any experiences from www.SatNavi.com

Lots of good reviews, but not sure if they are original disks or not.

Any advice or recommendations appreciated.

Thanks,
Lee.

Halfords sells a "European driving kit" that covers most if not all of the things that you require for driving in Europe.

If you are driving through France to get to Spain, you will need a breathalyser kit, which is also included in the pack at Halfords.

I recently went on a roadtrip across Europe and this is what I took with me:

The breathalyser has been suspended for now,

January 2013 - Drivers in France have been required to carry a self-test breathalyser since July 2012 with enforcement by fines originally planned for 1 November but subsequently postponed to 1 March 2013. Now the French government has announced that the implementation of the sanction (fine) for drivers not carrying a breathalyser – a fine of €11 – has been postponed indefinitely.

Wasn't aware of that, modified my post accordingly :)

My Bro in Law is a regular visitor to France and a total geek, so he told me, I'm just a muppet :outforcount:
