Riding Your Motorbike Abroad
Touring Europe is a fantastic biking experience, but before you take your motorbike abroad it’s best to be clued up about foreign laws of the road, as any mistakes or misunderstandings could land you in a sticky position. Here’s a quick checklist to help get you on track:
- Check out the road laws and regulations- they could differ from those in the UK e.g. drink driving regulations may not be the same, some countries have a zero tolerance policy on this.
- Check that your licence allows you to ride abroad and that you have all your bike documentation up to date and ready for your trip.
- Check you are fully covered by your insurance for riding abroad.
- Get a GB sticker for your motorcycle.
- It’s a good idea to get your motorbike serviced before you go to minimise the risk of a breakdown abroad.
Most important is getting all your documentation and knowledge up to scratch- the rest is just good sense and safe riding skills.
