I’ve heard rumours that Slovenia have started to deny entry to vehicles if the driver does not have a CPC - even though, according to the directive, the earliest they can require existing drivers to have a CPC is 2012.
I’ve also heard rumours that the Czech Republic is forcing their own drivers to have a CPC (although they’re exempting foreign drivers for the moment).
Anyone else heard these rumours? Truth or Bunkum?

Unless thay have found a loophole in order to keep foreign drivers from entering their country by enforcing the regs early then they are on a rocker because it clearly states that those with ‘aquired rights’ will not have a DQC issued to them or have to produce one until 10 Sept 2014.
How will they know anyway, do we get any proof we’ve done it ?

YES - A DQC (cost you £25) is issued after the 35 hours have been completed - it will have a 2019 date on it as it runs from 2014 to 2019

Yes, I know that (although they can make the date as early as 2012 if they wish). Convincing a belligerent border official who doesn’t (or won’t) speak English or any other language that you can speak is another thing entirely…

Now there’s a point MrFlibble, how much is the fine and I really wonder what they would write on the receipt for the name and section of the law that had allegedly been broken??
Or is it the ‘negotiable’ type of fine. ?
