European Laws & Languages
create
problems when travelling
Most countries have their own laws for
traffic control
vehicles
drivers & their passengers
Dont let on the spot fines ruin
your holiday or journey
There are many legal, financial and cultural traps. Would you benefit
from knowing the important ones?
* What equipment and documents MUST be in your
vehicle?
* What personal papers must everyone carry?
* What Health and Insurance cover do you
THINK you have?
Austria- When might you be fined for using their motorways?
France- Why should you use a payment card on
Autoroutes?
How will you be trapped for speeding on Autoroutes?
Where does a local village/town speed limit start & finish?
(it's not at the speed limit sign!)
Germany- Do autobahns have speed limits?
Can you be fined for tailgating more than for speeding?
Is running out of fuel an offence?
Greece- The highest accident rate in Europe. Why?
How can you protect yourself?
Is carrying a spare fuel can an offence?
Italy- Always have at least
€250 cash with you. Why?
Spain- When is turning left an offence?
If you break down and get out of the vehicle without
wearing a fluorescent jacket, is that an offence?
Switzerland- 4 official languages, road signs change accordingly
Where can you buy a blue parking permit?
Or a motorway pass? (one place is London)
Potential Penalties
Immediate cash fine, (€375)
Your driving licence suspended on the spot,
Confiscation of your vehicle-
immediately.
Police
target foreign registered vehicles- as an easy source of cash
Some countries automatically put offending foreign cars on their
national register.
Second offences incur double fines .
Different languages
make
speaking a problem
Many simple problems become serious only because you don't speak the
local language
For example how do you convey these simple phrases?
Say a special thanks. We enjoyed ourselves . You didn't
understand the question, please
repeat.
* You are very kind, I am obliged to you
* What is the matter? I do not know
* Have you locked the car with the keys
inside?
* Had an engine or brakes seize up?
* Had a puncture and been unable to undo the
wheelnuts?
* Been lost and no map?
How about
Police pointing a pistol at you because you would not move your car?
(The clutch had broken!) (YES it really happened!)
What if these things happened in Hungary or Italy or Russia?
Or any of these twelve European countries?
Knowing suitable phrases could save you so much trouble.
It's not just knowing the correct words but how to pronounce them-
especially if you are distressed or upset.
