Guide to table:
1. Minimum age at which a visitor may drive a car.
2. UK driving licences which do not incorporate photograph are recognised but, drivers must be able to produce photographic proof of identity (e.g. passport).
3. All valid UK licences should be accepted. However, the acceptance of the older ‘all green’ style UK licences cannot be guaranteed. Drivers may wish to
voluntarily update them before travelling abroad, if time permits. Alternatively, older licences may be accompanied by an IDP.
4. Before taking a vehicle abroad contact your motor insurer or broker to notify them of your intentions, and ask their advice. It is important to know what level
of cover you will have and what documents you need to prove it.
5. GB Stickers are compulsory within the EU unless your UK registration plates display the GB Euro-symbol (Euro-plates) which became a legal option from
21 March 2001. The Euro-plate must comply with the new British Standard (BS AU 145d). The Euro-plate is only legally recognised in the EU; it is still a
requirement to display a GB sticker when travelling outside the EU.
6. Not required for two-wheeled vehicles.
7. Although not compulsory for visiting motorists to carry a warning triangle, its use is compulsory in an accident/breakdown situation.
8.
Spain:
one warning triangle compulsory for non-Spanish registered vehicles; two for Spanish registered vehicles. Note: drivers of non-Spanish registered
vehicles should consider carrying two triangles as, regardless of regulations, local officials may impose an on-the-spot fine if only one is available.
Croatia:
two triangles compulsory for vehicles towing a trailer.
Switzerland:
warning triangle must be kept within easy reach (not in the boot).
9. The use of hazard warning lights or a warning triangle is compulsory in an accident/breakdown situation. However, a warning triangle should always
be carried as hazard-warning lights have no effect at bends or rises in the road, or may become damaged or inoperative.
10. Wearing, compulsory if driver and/or passenger(s) exits vehicle immobilised on carriageway, in
Italy
at night or in poor visibility, in
Spain
on all motorways
and busy roads, it must be kept within the vehicle. In
Croatia
the wearing is compulsory whenever you have to get out of the vehicle at the roadside in an
emergency. In
Portugal
and
Norway
the actual law applies to residents; however, regardless of the regulations local officials may impose an on-the-spot fine.
