- Be especially careful when setting off from service stations or restaurants on the left side of the road.
- Take care when overtaking - allow more space between you and the car in front so you can see further down the road ahead.
- Europe has strict drink driving laws, at least as strict as in the UK, and in most countries stricter.
- Seat belts front and rear are obligatory everywhere.
- Speed limits, shown below, are implemented rigorously. Radar traps are frequent. In France, anyone caught travelling at more than 25km/h above the speed limit can have their licence confiscated on the spot.
- Remember - Speeding and other traffic offences are subject to on-the-spot fines.
