Driving restrictions in Europe

Driving bans for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) will be found in many Member States across the European Union. These bans can be confusing and ultimately leave vehicles and drivers stranded at borders.  Fines will be imposed for non-compliance, even if unintentional infringements of the rules have been committed.
