I have not taken a car abroad since Brexit and do wonder if insurance has changed. Around the time we left Europe, I can remember a policy I had suggesting a change for mainland Europe, breaking it down into zones. Might be worth checking in advance. Gave my insurance a ring all ok. No need for a Green card as it mentions cover for Europe in the schedule which of course I’ll have a copy of. Breakdown cover sorted and once the country’s were mentioned they said I’d need cover for Zone 1. So obviously they have zones based on the countries your visiting 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What headlight adjustment is needed in the 981. Do you just put stick on deflectors straight onto the headlights. I’ve just got standard lights. Cheers We are heading to the Italian lakes via the Stelvio Pass in the GTS next weekend and I have been researching the same question. The almost unanimous view was that the low beam makes adjustment unnecessary but to have a set of stickers in the glove box just in case you are challenged. Which seems to be the conclusion you have come to. I’ll give you a wave if our paths cross! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown cover has been regional for some time. Just take all your documents incl. V5, fit your UK plate and off you go. Once across the Channel the authorities pay no more attention than in the last 20 years as long as you are behaving yourself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
