We have one Europe, but that does not mean that the rules of the road (or fuel) the same everywhere. Here are 5 things that you as a tourist abroad.

Perhaps there were some things already known, but in that case: a little repetition can’t hurt. The ADAC put a number of things at a glance, these are the 5 main items:

Italy / Denmark: drankrijders get in these countries are not alcohol ignition interlock, but are allowed to have their car immediately surrender, which is then sold. This is a big pub crawl is needed in Italy is the lower limit at 1.5 per cent, Denmark 2 per cent.

Please note that in Italy also on bus routes, this seem to always take priority.

Austria: unnecessary let it rock of the police, for example, after a light collision, is a ‘blauwlichtbelasting’ of 36 euros for the customer.

Croatia: here, have accidents, however small, is exactly what the police reported. Zwaarbeschadigde cars have an approval from the police before they cross the border.

Switzerland: severe penalties for particularly gross violations. 40 too fast in a 30 zone, or 80 km/h over the speed limit can lead to a minimum of 1 year imprisonment. Also, the country has a lichtplicht during the day.

Slovenia: fines should immediately afgetikt to be. Nothing special, that is here and in Germany. You do not do this, then your passport will be taken. Incidentally, orange in Slovenia also just stop.

Finally, two tips: in Hungary, you pay the highway toll via a license plate. Pay attention to whether everything is filled in (figures, but also the right licence), scam seems often to occur, and the motorist on expenses.

If your in France a red cross on the back of a traffic light for the oncoming traffic, this means that they are red, and you can safely make a turn. Pedestrians have also still a priority. It is mandatory to take an alcohol test is according to us, after much delay, a gentle death died. Fortunately.
