Driving tips
Useful tips for drving abroad
Millions of people hire
cars each year for both business and pleasure. When
visiting the United Kingdom drivers from abroad have
to deal with the difficulties of driving both a right
hand drive car plus being on the other side of the road.
You should be especially careful when, once you have
your hire car and you leave the garage - you need to
be in the left hand lane when you pull into traffic.
If you are a UK citizen
then remember that most other road users drive on the
right-hand side of the road - so beware. Whatever country
you are visiting take note of these suggestions:
MOBILE PHONES:
Before leaving home be sure to have your mobile enabled
for overseas use - a call is expensive compared to domestic
use but it is your best friend in emergencies.
SEAT BELTS: Do
not let holiday madness make you lax - seat belts must
be worn by all and heavy spot fines can be incurred
for failing to do so.
JOINING TRAFFIC:
Especially take care when pulling out from say a service
stations or the shops were your concentration may be
down compared to pulling out from a roadside.
TAKE CARE: when
overtaking give more space than usual between you and
the car in front so you can see clearly the road ahead.
KEEP TO THE SPEED
LIMIT: Watch for speed signs and remember they are
in Kilometres Per Hour not Miles Per Hour. Most of the
world uses the metric system, so even though your hired
car speedometer will be locally adjusted try to become
familiar with this system. 1 kilometre = 0.62 miles
so 100 kilometres per hour = 62 miles per hour.
KEEP COINS TO HAND:
Toll roads are common in France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland
and Austria. You need cash to pay.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS:
In many countries a continuously flashing amber light
means that you may proceed if the road is clear, but
you must give way if called to do so. The change from
green to red is quicker than in the UK because very
often there is no amber.
PLAN YOUR TRIP: Be certain of your destination.
A good map is a worthwhile investment as is writing
down your route. Know your road numbers. Check the dates
of local holidays or festivals, services may be limited
on those dates along with restricted access to many
roads.
MAKE YOURSELF UNDERSTOOD:
Have a pen, paper and phrase book with you at all times
if you do not speak the language of your host country.
Try to learn simple phrases like "I need petrol",
"I have broken down", "where is a hospital
/ bank", "I am lost!".
IDENTITY: Make
sure that you have your passport, driving licence and
if required your visas with you always. Be sure that
all are valid for the duration of your vacation. Take
your car rental documents with you in the car at all
times.
BREAKDOWNS: You
should contact the local office of your rental car company
immediately.
HORN USE: Beware
local restrictions apply in urban areas with heavy spot
fines for abuse.
ACCIDENTS: You
must exchange the usual details with the other party
and also file a police report. You should contact the
local office of your rental car company immediately.
Enjoy your holiday, make
the best use of your hired car. Unlike at home you may
not know where the next filling station is so stay topped
up with fuel - running out of fuel its the biggest cause
of personal grief to our experience. Don't do it! |
