      I think the answer is, go on holiday in the UK or somewhere else in the world other than an EU country:scratch:
      I'm sure there must be somewhere.:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

          That's the standard recommendation by travel experts at the moment. They say that if you want to feel safer about no possible hassles with documentation or cancellations then forget about EU countries for the next year or two, until everything is settled.

          Having said that, we're off to an EU country in the summer. :heehee:

                If you intend driving in the Dordogne you'll need an IDP for France and if you intend to go over the border to Spain you'll need a Spanish one. The two countries can't agree on having the same IDP!!!

                    Than just a passport valid for 6 months plus any extra time you had transferred from the previous passport. :dbgrtmb:

                        The government are now recommending displaying GB car stickers if driving in the EU after Brexit (even if you have GB on licence plates). It might be worth getting them now as the likes of Halfords might not have huge stocks and wont be able to cope with a huge increase in demand.

                        N.B. Union Jack, England, etc. car flags are not an alternative as the EU has banned them.

                            The flag in the picture has always been illegal as car flags over A4 size are not allowed anyway. Not being a football fan I have never seen the need to fly a flag from my car :scratch:

                            My neighbour has a very big flagpole in his front garden and usually flies the skull and crossbones from it. :heehee:
