Synopsis
Fully updated new edition! Whether you're planning a long touring holiday in your own car, or hiring a car locally on a business trip or holiday, The Essential Guide to Driving in Europe will give you all the information you require. Whatever your destination in Europe, you'll find everything you need to prepare for your trip and to cope with the unfamiliar. There are sections on dealing with everything from winter driving, to towing a caravan, from travelling with pets, to taking a classic car overseas. And - should the worst happen - there's also clear guidance on what to do in the case of a breakdown or accident. With chapters covering Western Europe (including France), Southern Europe, Northern Europe, and Central & Eastern Europe - 50 individual countries - all the information is based on extensive local research, and includes comprehensive details of speed limits, drink/driving rules, motorway tolls, mountain passes, and other local regulations. Extensive illustrations help you recognise and understand unfamiliar signs, whilst more than 25 port maps guide you safely to and from terminals in the UK and on the Continent.

Packed with useful information and advice, this is the perfect companion for anyone looking to take their classic on holiday to Europe this summer. - Practical Classics. This ambitious guide seeks to cover driving conditions in all European countries which includes outposts such as Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. It contains all the stock advice about preparation for the journey and a brief country by country summary of driving conditions and glossary of road signs. Experienced road travellers who feel they know Western Europe will still find details they might not have been aware of such as the Swiss minimum speed limit of 100kph in the third lane of their motorways to Luxembourg where dash cam fans might be wise to put their devices away as the locals can feel strongly about privacy. Interesting. - Update. The book provides comprehensive coverage of 50 European countries and covers speed limits, local rules, motorway tolls, road signs, winter driving, drink/driving rules, mountain passes and port maps. Just as one really need a paper map to supplement the satnav, this book acts as a single point of reference for driving in Europe and is a very useful supplement to information that is available on the internet. I think this is a very useful book and the new edition has over 200 changes in order to keep it up to date so those who bought the original should really buy this latest edition. - Citroenet. Did you know that it's illegal to wear flip-flops while driving in Spain, or that you'll be issued an on-the-spot fine for having a drunk passenger in the front seat in Serbia? It's rules like this that can catch out Brits driving in Europe, so this book is a good starting point. The general advice in the first third of the book is common sense that only need drivers should need to read, but the subsequent pages on 50 European countries is a great resource to check ahead of your travels. This new edition proves mist useful when it comes to the many, and completely different, urban emission control zones that have sprung up across the continent, which could see you racking up large fines if you ignore them. - Classic Car Weekly. If you are planning a driving trip abroad, then the latest edition of this book should form part of your preparations; small enough to fit easily in a glovebox, it is full of practical advice, including the driving rules and road signs for 50 countries. Fully updated at the start of 2018, nearly 200 changes and additions include new speed limits in France and new electronic tolling systems in Austria and Croatia. There is also advance notice of potential changes for UK drivers post-Brexit. It could save you a whole lot by keeping you legal and safe. - Mg Enthusiast. This book reveals how, despite the EU, the rules and regulations vary significantly between countries within the union, let alone those outside it. Over 50 countries are covered and, particularly if you are embarking on a 'grand tour,' it is well worth having a look at this volume to make sure you are full prepared. The regulations seem to be constantly changing as well. As well as the things to be encountered in the individual countries, this book also covers the general preparations you need to consider, both for yourself and your car. - Chris Bass, Freelance.
