No V5 in Europe?

[peepae]

I changed my license plate to a personalised reg and ofcourse do not have the v5 yet, and will most likely not receive it within the next 5 days.

 

Has anyone gone to Europe without and what if you do get stopped?

If you get stopped you might be fined. depends how 'to the letter' the copper is. Ive never been stopped by the police. except on the Brenner pass where the Austrian coppers like to lurk in shady doorways with their trusty radar guns. usually looking out for unsuspecting travellers who aren't below the limit when they pass the reduced limit signs on the edges of villages. drat.

 

You only need it if you get stopped.. so dont attract attention to yourself and just the same as here - you will be invisible.

I always take the V5 but never been stopped.

If it were me I'd risk it. If stopped, I'd explain why I haven't got it.

Had a slightly different issue, in that the GB sticker was attached to the right pannier.. Which spent the entire holiday in our rather lovely Airbnb. We managed to avoid the long arm of La loi.

Has been for a while. But, it seems not many people care. I certainly dont. I have GB on my number plate and I'm not about to change it, just to satisfy Northern Irish politicians.

They also have got rid of ENG. CYM and SCO identifiers. but not NI. which just about tells you how perverse all this is.
