No - your insurer will refuse to issue one unless you are going to a country outside the normal territorial limits. Then they will want ££££££££££££££££££££££££££. |

You will need the E11, or you may have trouble getting medical help, keep a high visibility jacket on the bike to hand, if you are pulled by the French police they will expect you to put one on before you get off your bike, also turn off any camera detection or they will confiscate it.
2017 RS grey/white/red.

Zitat von boxter im Beitrag #3 E11 (or E111 more precisely) was replaced some time ago. It is now EHIC. Even if you have one, check the expiry date. They are free from the NHS but some websites will try to extort a fee. https://www.nhs.uk/nhsengland/healthcare...t-the-ehic.aspx is the genuine site to get a free one These are worth having even if you have comprehensive insurance as your insurance claim will be lower and the insurer might waive a policy excess for your claim. I have personal experience of this when my son ended up in a Spanish hospital. Saved me £50 which was a decent wedge back in 1997! |

It seems the French have introduced another requirement for the motorist. |

Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #5 I have them on both bikes but only needed if you are going to a small number of cities. I was in Grenoble last year where it is compulsory but nobody checked. Also needed in Lyon & Paris. It's a simple process to apply, you just need a scan or photo of your V5 and reduce the image quality to meet the small file size limit. Euro 4 bikes (2017 onwards with the side reflectors on the forks) like my Explorer are Class 1 purple Earlier bikes like my RS are in Class 2 yellow The scheme does not seem to have reduced traffic congestion in Grenoble - it could take 30 minutes to get from our city centre hotel to the outskirts as the streets have narrow lanes and filtering is difficult. The scheme was not implemented on any days we were in Grenoble last June. They did make public transport free in the evenings which was nice if you wanted to go somewhere the other side of the city for dinner. |

Thanks again Wessie and everyone else for their useful comments, I'd forgotten about the motorways in Switzerland and didn't know about the ones in Austria so I will now ask Google for for prices. |
