When driving abroad, you must carry the following documents at all times:

• A valid passport or ID card
• A valid driver’s license
• Vehicle registration document (V5c)
• Motor insurance certificate

While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to carry:

• Warning triangle
• Reflective jacket
• Headlamp
• Spare headlamp bulbs
• First aid kit
• Fire extinguisher

Additionally, seat belts must be worn by all passengers, and children under 12 years old are not permitted to sit in the front seat.
