Driving in EU without taco

As already stated, same rules apply in Euroland as in UK. The driver MUST report the loss to DVLA before driving (procedure may have changed, but I believe it used to be the case that they issued a reference number to confirm that they had been informed). He MUST produce a printout at the beginning and end of each journey, write his name and licence number on the back of each and sign them. These printouts MUST be carried with him for the next 28 days, after which they MUST be handed in to the Operator. I’d suggest it might be a good idea for him to carry a few copies of a note on company headed paper stating that the card has been lost and a new one applied for with a translation into the languages of whichever countries he will be driving in.

(edit: I see you/he is now sorted)
