Hopefully these will help you plan for a more relaxing trip.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I drive a HGV in Europe on weekends or bank holidays?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on which country you are driving in and what you are carrying. Many countries on mainland Europe impose bans on the driving of commercial vehicles over a specified weight on Sunday\u2019s and public holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Some countries will extend these on popular summer weekends, whilst others have commercial traffic prohibitions on specified roads at certain times. There are not normally restrictions on vans. It is always worth <u>checking the details for the country you are planning on visiting<\/u>.
