• I've got (in each car):

    • 2 x breathalysers
    • Fire extinguisher
    • Bulb kit
    • First Aid box
    • 2 X Fluro vests
    • Beam deflectors (Porsche, you can switch the Merc over)

    I'll put the V5C in a folder with the insurance certificate, and I'll have my licence and passport with me.

    Have I missed anything?

  • I believe we are suppose to carry at all time (for french vehicles at least):

    • insurance sticker on windshield
    • insurance certificate
    • MOT sticker on windshield (don't know how it works for a foreign cars)
    • car registration certificate ("carte grise" in France)
    • fluro vest + warning triangle
    • bulb kit
      EDIT:
    • test for alcohol level (but no fine if not present - stupid to mention it probably then)
    • spare wheel (or kit for flat tire I believe)

    Now that you mention it, first aid box and fire extinguisher might even be mandatory in France but I believe there is tolerance because I do not know many people that carry them at all time.

    The beam deflectors is to regulate the difference of lights between right hand drive and left wheel drive cars (for my personal information)?

    Yes - so I don't blind an oncoming motorist as my headlights will be pointing to the left, whereas an LHD car would have the lights pointing to the right.

    MOT's are online now, I wonder if it's worth printing that out as well?
