Speaking just about the UK end of things here ...

If it's "just" a dual carriageway, and not a motorway then it'll be legal but it might or might not be safe. If it's a dual carriageway within a town/city then you'll probably be okay, if it's a major trunk road linking towns/cities then I'd recommend staying away.

You'll need a passport to get into/out of the UK. However assuming you avoid the Kaliningrad exclave then you can get all the way from Latvia to Belgium/France without really noticing where the borders are (you'll need to carry photo id of some kind though).
