Insurance docs while on the continent

Afternoon All

Im going a day trip over to France on Sunday, and was wondering if it is a requirement to have a copy of the insurance policy with you in the car?

My new copy hasn't arrived yet, and knowing my luck, won't before I leave

Thanks

Do you feel lucky rosbif?

I've got a lease car through work and was told that I should take my insurance certificate with me. Not sure if it's a legal requirement though, but I guess it makes life a little easier when dealing with the SS Gendarmes.

A few insurance companys now want to know when you are going abroad, check your T's and C's

Will give them a bell in a bit just incase they need dates

Probably too late, but....
Driving Licence, Insurance Certificate, V5C, warning triangle and high viz vest(s) are compulsory en France.

Expect trouble from les flics/gendarmes if you are stopped and don't have them with you.
