With this new fangled, allegedly cheaper system, it seems that there may be many new outlets at which to purchase the vignette.
The Total garage at Wasserbillig on the way into Lux was advertising the fact that it was going to start selling the vignette from 1st October.
So who knows?
You might even be able to buy the bloody things in Belgium soon
Carl:
you can get the new one at coquelles and now at jabbeke services
Cant work that one out, if you intend to by Viginette @ Jabbeke, you have to drive over the border without tax - how does that work?
Dunno but i was in holland on sat and drove the 30km to asten truckstop with out one cuase everywhere i stopped they didnt have the new system… Even drove by police bikes at a few of the stations with no problems… Fair enough to say i was brickin it lol

Any time you bought a vignette before this they will have given you a vignette to display.
[Pedant_Mode]Slight correction, ever since the system started they have never given you a voucher to display. They simply give you a voucher, there is/was no requirement to actually display it.[/Pedant_Mode]
[Sarah-aargh!-Palin mode] I think in Asia and Africa you are required to hire a little kid who sits in the passenger seat and waves the appropriate voucher at the window as you hold your breath through checkpoints.[/Sarah-aargh!-Palin mode]
I recently bought your book “Coffee to Go” and am about 3/4 through. Those ferry trips you describe sound pretty good. Nice way to get a break, seems to me. That signature of yours, the red 4 and 0 green: does that mean you are back home? Here in the USA, navigation markers are “Red Right Returning”. Those that are left, that is, now that our gov is broke.

If you bought it for that day then you’re covered. If you happen to get stopped before that, maybe telling them that intention might suffice ?
NO CHANCE
A few years ago I pulled in at the Aachen sud border eastbound at 0200 after havin been stuck in the snow ,walking to the booth to buy that days vignette and stopped by the be customs and fined 300euros for not having a vignette b…t…rd
Am in the office today and have a man heading for Antwerp and has tried Coquelles/Transmark/Esso Calais/Adinkerke have told him to try the sevices in Belgium have heard Jabbeke do it but its not on the lists? ,
I am also looking online to buy it , does anyone know any other places to buy it i notice on the website there are only 15 places in Belgium where it can be bought.

You mean you don’t like Sarah?
Thank God for that! I thought it was just me and I don’t really have a say!
Sadly, the hiring of anyone to sit in the passenger seat involves lots of high level discussion pertaining to insurance risks so it’s far better to have the receipt for the voucher.
And your government is far from broke. The rest of the country may be, but mr bush? nah!!

…and I don’t think Coffee wrote anything of the sort either…
Actually Coffee does write stuff of that sort and has even had some published, just not under the Coffee name. Different persona and not connected with trucking.
