Really have to ask.


Incase you lose you license while out there or your pass port or both, its handy to have another type of ID on you that you keep separate from the rest it makes things easier on yourself if you didn't.

So what do you suggest they take then?

What if they lose everything?

If he loses his licence he can't drive, unless you know what else the Dutch use as a substitute.

No its not COMPULSARY, but you should carry one!.
AND if he loses it all he has to go to the embassy consulate or commissions office then doesn't he/she and he/she will still need to provide a recent photo of himself/herself and pay the fee.

Why should you carry something you don't need? :wall:

Just because you may have your gloves on a cord down your sleeves doesn't mean everyone will lose theirs.

While it's legally required it appears that the initial fine for not having one was withdrawn in January 2013, and as far as I can see has never been re-introduced. As there's no penalty for not having one it seems unlikely that there would be a request to produce one.

Wotsits, Quavers and Pringles should do it.

What sort of spare tyre do you have (if anything)?

And watch out for people on bicycles.:D

Thanks, spacesaver and "foam in a can".

Are there different rules for the EU with regards to spare wheels?

Some Netherland province laws require that during the months of winter winter tyres are fitted to your vehicle trams always have right of way no matter what even if you think you should have right of way. and DONT SOUND YOUR HORN unless in emergency its a nice little earner for the police out there with UK drivers, flash lights instead and at night. and you cant cross solid white lines even to turn into a side junction you should follow the road for somewhere to turn and double back.

Perfect thank you, just the kind of thing I am looking for. :beer:
