By IDP , I mean International Driving Permit .
I will be off to France just after "Halloween" and a colleague gave me some friendly advice about acquiring an insurance Green Card and I will probably need an international driving licence as well .
I half-heartedly contacted Aviva who said I would need the GC and duly put one in the post .
Reading through Aviva's bumph , it revealed that I also needed the dreaded IDP as well .
No big deal though , you just get it issued at the Post Office while you wait for £5:50 .
But , I just couldn't believe the format of this thing , like some form of I.D. papers issued in WW2 . The poor girl at the P.O. had to paste the passport photo into place and fill in all my driver details in pen .
I apologise to the admin.guys in advance . I'm not trying to restart "that" thread again via the back door . But are there any others here who intend to drive in Europe in the coming weeks/months ?
Or is it just me...
