When you go abroad on holiday the idea of hiring a car and driving around can be somewhat daunting.
Everything may be different from the side of the road you drive which changes where you sit in the car, to the standard of the roads and the laws.
Before you go, check out the country you will be driving in so that you know which laws you have to follow. For example, in France you have to carry your own breathalyzer and all speed camera detection devices are illegal. Whereas in the Dominican Republic it is not unusual to see people driving with a bottle of rum in their hands and four or more people on a motorcycle.
Even though you may be much more relaxed on holiday you have to be even more careful when you drive abroad and be more cautious than you are at home. Always wear a sea belt, even if other drivers are not and ensure any passengers wear them too. It is vital to expect the unexpected, as in many poorer countries other road users are not as good at obeying the rules when it comes to signaling, overtaking and giving way at intersections.
