Road rules and safety

Road safety and traffic rules differ within the EU. Find out what the various country-specific rules are. For example:

The EU has taken measures to improve road safety including clamping down on traffic offences committed in another EU country. This means that if you commit a driving offence when in another country, you could find yourself receiving the fine by post at home!

Make sure that you have valid and adequate insurance cover which extends to travelling in other EU countries.
