I have a question: IF I decide to go green on my M3W 2014 plan, I'm going to bring it to Portugal by road, with a side-trip to Ireland (wife's idea, and a good one too).
In that case, does anyone know if any of the countries between the UK and Portugal require the use of helmets? And/or seatbelts?
You guys may fill in the blanks, with your help all this will get filled up quick:
UK - Helmet ... / Seatbelt ...
IRELAND - Helmet ... / Seatbelt ...
FRANCE - Helmet ... / Seatbelt ...
SPAIN - Helmet ... / Seatbelt ...
PORTUGAL - Helmet NO / Seatbelt YES
My guess is that if it's registered in your home country (Portugal..?) then those countries laws apply & other EU countries allow for temporary use.
