Does anybody know of a set of POI’s for the euro vignette. I know there is a visual list but wondered if there was a set of pois already done anywhere.

I don’t think there is, nothing I’ve heard about at least.
Where do you generally travel from?
Coming from Europe into Benelux it’s usually fairly easy to get your vignette.
Most Shell stations near the borders, in France and Germany, do the Vignette. Most Shell stations near the borders in Holland do it too although the Dutch will give you some lee-way.
Within Belgium and Lux’ it isn’t easy to find anywhere that does it, so I prefer to play it safe and get my vignette before crossing those borders. Their Police won’t give you any lee-way.
If it’s heading into Scandinavia your concerned about, I’m afraid I’ve no idea.
Thanks for that. It was just that one of our boys was delayed for a day and needed extra tax for carrying on. He ended up backtracking to verne which is a bit of a pain.
Will have to see if i cant get one made up from the list on the Ages website.
@Alan sometimes it is cheaper to buy a extra day that may or may not be used as getting caught
without the Vignette, the costs is cheaper than getting fined, we used to have a years Vignette
as it worked out cheaper for our firm in the long run ,

If you have a tom tom you can download the OV2 file from Tom Tom home.
But as said by Inselaffe you can book them on line so if needed just phone your office to book the extra day

okay DD i admit I was only describing for vehicles over
7.5tn is this any better
ADR para 8.1.4 concerns fire extinguishers. The table below sets out a summary of the minimum requirements. Note that dry powder extinguishers are specified because it is known that they are suitable for tackling fires of class A (solids such as wood, paper etc), class B (fires involving liquids) and class C (fires involving gases).
Vehicle (max permissible mass) Minimum dry powder fire extinguisher provision
Up to 3.5 t 2kg for cab
plus 2 kg
vehicles
over 3.5 t and up to 7.5 te 2 kg for cab
Total 8 kg (usually one 6 kg but other provision is acceptable as long as there is one 6 kg)
vehicles
Over 7.5 te 2 kg for cab
Total 12 kg (including at least one 6 kg)
and this little addition
Any vehicle carrying dangerous goods under the” small load” limit or carrying only infectious substances

ME I ACT LIKE A BOY SCOUT ; be prepared better too much as not enough,
Hi Pete,
That’s spot-on now mate.
I can also tell you that the fire extinguisher requirements aren’t going to change once ADR 2011 comes into force, so we’ll be carrying on with what you’ve quoted in the link for at least the next two years.
I don’t think there is a REQUIREMENT under the law to carry a fire extinguisher in the UK, BUT a 2kg powder extinguisher in the cab, mounted securely, accessible and where it cannot be accidentally be let off, would be a sensible thing to carry. It could easily save your life or someone else’s.
These small extinguishers are only to put out small fires inside your cab.
Don’t try and put out a tyre fire with it, you’ll be wasting your time.
Don’t try and put out a load fire with it, thats what the fire brigade is for (and GIT insurance).
If you look in the back and notice some small flames, close the doors to try and limit air from getting in (almost certainly pointless, but why give the fire free access to oxygen?) and call out the fire brigade.
By the time you get to your cab, collect your extinguisher, carry it round to the back, open a door, set off your extinguisher and point it at the fire, the fire will be so big you may as well just pee into the wind. Use the time to phone for help, clear your gear out of your cab and tell everyone else to clear off sharpish (not necessarily in that order).
