you will need to stop at the belgium/german border to do your tax for germany at the go toll machine.
the machine will do english.how will you pay it takes credit and fuel cards or cash at the cashier.

basically you put in country eg GB then truck number ,euro emission,axles then it asks you where you entered the country and then asks where you are exiting to deliver.if you already know then type it in if not then press on the map and it will zoom in to the area you are going to and you will have to work it out from there.when you have done that it shows you the route you must take and if you are happy with that press ok then put your card in and it will then say something like flockgarten or summit like that but britpete will put me right :smiley: .2 tickets will come out and one of them shows the route and how long you got to do it.you then do exactly the same when you come back.

Thanks to Brit Pete for the info, magic.
The tolls machines are good once you get used to entering the exact off and on points you need. Very clever.
Pete, yes, got the reload details, Mechelen so it was same way out to Aachen.
Good trip, stunning scenery down there. Stopped at Rhinbollen going down, good place. Look forward to doing it again next week.

Thanks for the info guys. :slight_smile:
