If planning an overseas visit, check national travel restrictions, including those due to Brexit and Covid, en route, on arrival and on returning to UK.
Following Brexit, if planning to fly abroad from the UK in a light aircraft check revised pilot licencing and aircraft certification requirements. Also changes to Customs & Immigration clearance procedures and availability.
If planning to drive abroad, check motoring organization websites for regulations. France now has a 70kph (40mph) blanket limit on single-carriageway roads. Check for vehicle emission control zones around major cities. These now exist in most European countries and the number of them is increasing each year. France requires purchase of an emission status sticker, for all vehicles including electrics, covering all of their zones.
