WORLD'S WEIRDEST DRIVING REGULATIONS

If you thought the idea of driving on the other side of the road in a different country was scary you might want to consider some of these weird regulations from around the world first before you set off!

- If you have to wear glasses to drive you must carry a spare pair with you (Spain)
- Headlights are to be kept on at all times including the day in built in areas (Italy)
- No drinking inside your car whilst driving (Cyprus)
- Driving a dirty car is against the law (Romania & Russia)
- Before you set off you must check for people under your car! (Denmark)
- Pedestrians have right of way and some will expect you to stop! (Switzerland)
- Women are not to wear dressing gowns when driving (California)
- Cars must be parked on the side of the road where the houses have uneven numbers on uneven days of the month and vice versa (Several cities in Spain)
- No horn honking (Viena)

These are just some of the regulations you need to look out for. Avis have recently published a series of driving guides targeted at the British public holidaying abroad that you can download from their website. So might be worth a look to swot up a bit before you decide on that car hire.
