Regarding speed limits, has your satnav got a bit that tells you what speed you're doing and what the limit is? Very handy when you're not sure what speed you're supposed to be doing.

Don't forget your paper and photo parts of your driving license just in case. Your vehicle reg docs and insurance certificate too. If you wear glasses put a spare pair in the glove box.

I was very anxious driving off the ferry 3 years ago, now I actually prefer driving on the right, and I think the roundabouts are safer, particularly in Holland.
My advice is...
1, use a sat nav, cos the road signs are crap
2, drive in daylight when possible
3, avoid rush hours

Quote: Originally posted by greenhill on 02/8/2013I would be more surprised if your mondeo wasn't over the limit than if it is as is similiar to our Mazda 6. However it does vary from car to car but it's the "GTW" gross train weight you need to know, if it's 3500kg or more then it's the slower limits. But frustrating for us as with our trailer tent we're well under the 3500kg mark but that's now irrelevant, the fact we're towing and our car is capable of a total over 3500kg is the relevant bit. Has added 50mins driving plus prob another stop on to what was already going to be our longest ever journey will just have to take it steady and pack lots of snacks for the kids.....

There aren't any Autoroutes on the trip down to Benodet, its mostly dual carriageway Depending on your route. The Autoroute starts after Nantes which is further down.

Which roads,are you taking from outside Roscoff?
