Off on pan-euro trip Monday and v5c is missing from the file, can't find it anywhere? I'm not going to get a copy in time and my ferry leaves at 8am Monday. Can anyone from the above countries tell me how risky it is to drive in those countries without one and are the absolutely necessary?

Many thanks

I drive to switzerland 3 times a year i have never taken mine with me, didnt know you had to.

always take a photo copy of mine and have never been asked to show it....i think as long as you take the other bits like the insurance you should be ok.. ... - .- -.

Well its certainly not worth postponing your trip which is the only other option.....

I do a lot of french miles and have been asked for it once in over 10 years - that was at a random roadside stop where they were pulling people in & checking.

I would have thought a small fine at worst for not having it with you.

If you have all your other docs they will be more interested in other things than the V5. John

I have been stopped by Swiss police in the Van and forgot to take V5c the swiss like to see it for commercial & large campers but not for cars. Anyway providing they can see the cars VIN plate you should be fine if you get asked which is realy unlikely. All car Vignets can be bought at Fuel Stations without documents.

Hardly ever asked in France, BUT if you get stopped for speeding you'll need it otherwise, depending how "kind " they are you'll be punished with another 135 euro for not having it with you.

Many thanks for all the replies, will be able to sleep tonight.

All the very best
