i totally agree dennis but the op said that the vehicle was private in his first post, but having read it again i don’t think he is too sure would need more information on what business they ran, if it was reg’d as a business vehicle and under their business insurance it would need a full international operators licence to go to spain, if they were say a doctor or something and only had the box to move their horses to events then the farm or any other related business wouldn’t apply, as i said in one of my other posts it a bit of a mine field, thats why i stayed with a 7.5 tonner :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

yep, we need more information about the horse owner to establish if they need an O licence or not, strangely a SN licence allows you to transport your own goods abroad , in the latest copy of A & D for my traffic area it says :-

A Standard National (SN) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward, on public roads in Great Britain. He can also carry his own goods on journeys abroad;

you learn something new everyday, i bet the french police don’t know that though so could have some trouble :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

My gut feeling on this is that the distance and vehicle size mean that you are going to have a hard job to convince the gendarmes that this is a private journey so I would suggest you use a tacho and take plenty of “coffee money” to help with the lack of O Licence :wink:

Correct as if the Gendarme say you need to use it they will beat your wallet to death if not used, and the Guardia will as well given the chance. :confused:
