Of course we'll need to check that our insurance and breakdown covers us for this, but are there other requirements such as GB badges, things we need to have in the car if we're stopped by police etc?

My tip would be to be very careful if you drink alcohol, many countries have much lower drink drive limits than here in the UK, and I seem to remember that in the Netherlands you can be fined if you knowingly fail to report a drink driver.. This may or may not still be valid.
OH and be careful of coffee and
CAKE....lol
