Have you counted how many times the word MAY ( no not Theresa ) is used.

I think that the guide was probably written by Cameron and Osborne.

That was (MAY) first thing i noticed, yes

And i wonder is there someone who, maybe, has some more info?

Like- what to expect when calling insurer asking for green card?
Extra charges?

How exactly one is supposed to drive an after-accident claim in, for example, Germany?

Things like that. Practical approach.

Did no one ever go abroad before the EU Thomas?

Fret yourself to death if you wish but I will still be heading for Europe at least 3 times this year.

Past experience is in this case totally irrelevant until we know what if any of the new rules are?


Relax, let's see what happens and then make your decision.


At this stage worrying over what MAY happen ( see what I did there ) is a futile process.
