What road safety measures are there?
A high proportion of the accidents that are reported to us every year are road accidents. The rules of the road can be very different, drivers are not always obliged to stop at pedestrian crossings, and you may need to look the other way when crossing the road! Driving overseas is a great way to explore, and you can book car hire through your holiday rep at anytime. Please be aware of local regulations however, and never drink and drive, as this is an offence in most countries. With regard to mopeds, variable road conditions and drivers’ attitudes towards them can make riding mopeds a dangerous option overseas, particularly for those unused to riding them at home. We do not recommend moped or motorbike hire in any resort, even for experienced riders.
