We are travelling on the continent for 6 months later this year. I see that carrying your V5 is a legal requirement whilst abroad.

Hopefully this will work - this is a link to google maps of the road I need to negotiate to get out on to the A24 and head north. It's basically a bit of a dog leg. I need to go to the end of Greatham Road and veer round to the left exit turning left on to the A24. Greatham Road on google Maps I drove out this morning…
