ONE-IN-FIVE DRIVERS are leaving
themselves at risk of fines if they drive to France by not knowing they are
required to carry a warning triangle in their car, according to an AA survey. More than a third of respondents were not
aware that they needed a reflective jacket if driving in France and more than
half did not know that a disposable breathalyser was also needed.
Not having the correct equipment when
driving in Europe can leave drivers subject to an on-the-spot fine of between
€15 and €135 (£12-£111).
The AA Euro Travel Kit could keep
British drivers out trouble. It includes a set of headlight beam converters, a
hazard warning triangle, a reflective emergency jacket, a first aid kit,
universal bulb kit, a magnetic GB plate, and the AA’s European Driver’s
Handbook packed with country-by-country
travel facts, maps, and toll free routes.
The
kit is available from retailers and online with a typical selling price of £39.99. It also available at www.theaa.com/shop.
