Travel from tier 3 to tier 3?

[Lissy23]

Can you be fined from driving from one tier 3 area to another about an hour and a half away.
Thanks in advance.

Potentially unless for work, education or caring reasons.

Depends why you are travelling there

No, the covid legislation does not mention travel. It is legal to travel between any tier for any reason.

To meet a friend outdoors who I’m in a bubble with

Bubbles aren't affected by tiers

@LIZS Stop making up "laws" - the travel from/to tiers is guidance only.

Depends where you live, it's law in Scotland.

I travelled from tier 3 to tier 2 the other day to do some shopping in the M&S megastore and then adjourned to their cafe for an Americano and a slice of carrot cake. Very nice it was too.

It’s against the guidelines, and arguably the spirit of tiers, but it’s not illegal.

If you’re in a bubble the tier regulations don’t apply and you can travel

It’s against the guidelines, and arguably the spirit of tiers, but it’s not illegal.

As the OP is in a bubble with the other person, it's not against the guidelines and the tiers are irrelevant.

Depends where u live.

In Scotland it is law now, no non-essential travel to/from. Essential shopping, work, care and childcare is allowed. Nothing else.

In Scotland if you are in a bubble then its not against the law

Sorry, extended household is the term I think

We’re driving to another tier 3 area tomorrow as we have a Christmas day out booked which is still going ahead. Travel between tiers is guidance not law so you can’t be stopped by the police, fined etc

You can travel to someone in your bubble - we cross into another area to get to my mum who is in our bubble, so I checked the guidance carefully to ensure we weren't breaking any rules.

@dementedpixie Absolutely, I missed the OP's update on her bubble.

I do and will be traveling between areas. All tier 3, work and our closest shops are all in a different area.

I'll be honest I've still, to this day, never seen police anywhere on journeys.
