TIPS ON DRIVING ABROAD
It can be difficult to drive in another country. First, driving rules and laws differ from country to country. So do road signs. And, people in different countries drive on opposite sides of the road! Here are some tips on driving abroad.First, obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP). Most countries accept this permit. It's easy to get an IDP. Just enter "International Driving Permit" in any Internet search engine and you will
get the information you need.
Once you have the IDP, carry your own driver's license with you any time you drive outside your own country.
If possible, get a copy of the foreign country's rules before you begin driving in that country. An excellent source of information is a car rental company in the foreign country.
Be aware:
Some countries have a minimum and maximum driving age.
Some countries have penalties for drivers and/or passengers who don't wear a seat belt. Always "buckle up"
If the drivers in the country you are visiting drive on the opposite side of the road from your own country, it may be a good idea to practice driving in a quiet area before attempting to drive in
heavy traffic.
Many countries require you to honk your horn before going around a sharp corner or to flash your lights before passing.
