Ensure you comply with European Motoring Requirements by carrying the following essential items of accident, emergency and breakdown equipment.
Headlamp Beam Adaptors: Failure to adapt your headlamps at any time, day or night, will render your vehicle unfit for use on the road and could invalidate your motor insurance.
Alcohol Breathalyser: From March 2013, all vehicles travelling in France MUST, by law be carrying approved breathalysers.
GB Plate: A GB plate must be displayed on the rear of your vehicle, caravan or trailer.
Spare Bulbs: Drivers must be in a position to replace any blown exterior light.
Warning Triangle and Reflective Vests: Motoring LAW in France and many other European Countries now requires all vehicles to carry a Warning Triangle and a Reflective Vest. It is strongly recommended to carry vests for all vehicle occupants, as is LAW in Spain, where TWO triangles are also required.
First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher: The European Good Samaritan Law requires every driver to stop and provide assistance in the event of an accident, so it is strongly advisable to carry these items.
DriveRight® - Lane Safety Device: The simple transparent windscreen sticker that helps you to drive on the RIGHT side of the road.
