Panic on the way to Morocco!!

3 of us are travelling thru Spain on the way to Morocco and one of us has left his UK drivers license at home!!!

He has an International Driving Permit but is worried he might need to show his UK license on the way into the country.

Can anybody help - will he be ok without it?? After all, you have to send your UK license off when applying for your IDP.

Urgent advise needed!!

Thanks for response.

650Km to cover through Spain today and there's a 100Km wind blowing!!! Looks like it'll be a tough day.

I was stopped quite a few times while travelling through Morocco and at every stop I was asked for my driving license. The cops are mostly switched on over there regarding EU legislation, although, I had laminated copies of my license which worked ok and never showed my IDP. Not sure how it will work only showing an IDP, might cause you a bit of hassle but it is a legal document so I think you should be ok.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
