🚗 Planning a European road trip? Hold onto your steering wheel, because you need to know about some wild driving laws that can land you in hot water…or worse, out of pocket! 💸
In Germany, a road rage meltdown could cost you an eye-watering £3,418! So, keep those hand gestures and angry words to yourself. 😡🙏 And don’t even think about running out of petrol on their famous Autobahn – that’s a fine of at least £40 waiting for you.
Over in Spain, watch where you park! 🚓 One-way streets have quirky parking rules that flip mid-month – miss the memo and you’ll be forking out up to £515. Fancy cruising through historic Italian city centres? Not so fast! Many are residents-only zones during peak times, and entering them could set you back £85 each time. 🇮🇹
Taking to the Nordic roads? 🚦 Don’t forget to keep your headlights on at all times. It’s the law in Scandinavia, with fines starting at £85 if you forget! And if you’ve been enjoying a drink in Macedonia, make sure you’re in the back seat – it’s illegal for anyone who’s been drinking to sit up front!
Also, don’t mess around with your tech. France and Spain won’t take kindly to you using headphones while driving – keep your tunes to the speakers or pay £115 to £171. And in Portugal, those bikes better be on a roof rack, or you’ll be slapped with a £51 to £256 fine.
Finally, some countries require your car to be stocked like a survival kit. Think jackets, warning triangles, and even fire extinguishers. So, pack up the essentials before hitting the Eastern European roads or face fines.
Stay savvy, and let these quirky rules keep you on the right track! 🚙✨ Safe travels!
