Travelling this route tonight - anyone know if there is border control on the main highways?

I know there isn't one entering belgium but leaving? entering Luxembourg and France?

Thanks

You will get stopped entering Switzerland. As they are not E.U.
They will rip you off for about 40.00 for their stupid vignetti ?
So how come they can drive on our roads,

What you are talking about is their toll system for the motorways. You can drive in free on any other road. In Switzerland you have to pay a yearly tax to use the motorway as much as you want, as opposed to France where you pay everytime you use it...

No there isn't!

I've used the bridge between Malmo and Copenhagen and the ferry between Helsingor and Helsingborg quite a few times this year.

Nothing to report except pissed Danes!

There is legally required to be none whatsoever.

Ever since the Euros [ except UK and possibly Ireland ]
signed the Schengen agreement about ten years ago.

Please try to keep up.

On the bridge there is a very good chance of being stopped and asked questions as to where why and when

If they use the M6 toll they have to pay like everybody else... And why don't you rejoice in the fact that you don't have to pay tolls over here, rather than being pissed at people you never see in britain?
