Should I take my V5 with me if driving abroad?

Is it wise to travel abroad without a V5 and can one be got quickly?

It's vital to have all documents with you when driving abroad (insurance, V5, driving licence etc). Details of how to get a replacement for a lost or stolen V5 are here: www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVeh...4
