Special traffic rules for tourists in Europe.

France.
This country is known all over the world for its vineyards and wines. Perhaps that is why mandatory carrying of a portable alcohol tester in the car is stipulated by law. Drivers must check their blood alcohol level when leaving a bar or restaurant. The permissible content of 0.5 ‰ must not be exceeded. But the lack of a tester can be punished by the police with 11 Euro, even if you are completely sober.

Finland.
If you get into a taxi here, you don't have to worry about the driver's intrusive favorite music. There will be absolute silence in the car during the entire journey. The only reason is that every taxi driver who chooses to use the radio has to pay a fee of 30 euros per year, because listening to a musical composition in this country is equal to providing an additional service to the customer.

Italy.
In this country you can come across the strangest and most confusing traffic system. The law about restricted traffic zones (Zona a traffico limitato = ZTL) is theoretically a general prohibiting traffic sign. In fact, however, this is an inexhaustible law that is constantly updated by the authorities to restrict entry to a certain street and area, which drivers must obey. E.g.: in Italy there are places where only certain residents are allowed to access the ZTL zone and it is impossible to find out in advance which exactly. Only afterwards the “traffic offender” gets a fine of 50 up to 100 Euros. The limits of such zones can even vary depending on the time of day. Therefore, it is best in such cities like Rome, Florence and Milan not to show up with your car in the old town.

Switzerland.
Tourists who travel to this wonderful country by car must immediately remember that they are legally prohibited on Sundays, like all residents ... what do you think? Right: wash the car in any way.

Denmark.
The laws of this northern country oblige all drivers to inspect the underbody of the car each time before they start driving. This not only has to be done to notice possible damage, but also to completely exclude the presence of animals or people underneath the car.

Germany.
If you are traveling on the world-famous German motorways, we strongly recommend that you ensure that there is enough fuel in the tank. Because stopping due to an empty tank is classified by the police as "stopping for no particular reason" and is punished with a fine. Should you still get into such unpleasant situation, all you have to do is dial one of the following numbers
