rules when travelling abroad:

17.2 Help on Europe's roads
Z The vehicle driver is required to inform himself as to the traffic rules of the
countries in which he plans to travel before beginning the trip. Contact your
automobile club or embassy for further information.
Z In some European countries, warning vests must be worn when exiting the
vehicle outside of towns in the case of vehicle failures or accidents.
Z Depending on the country, different rules and regulations apply (e.g. dif-
ferent warning signs for rear carriers, obligation to carry breathalyzer kits,
spare bulbs, high-visibility vests, size of reserve canister). The driver of the
vehicle must familiarise him or herself with these rules before every
journey.
Z Up-to-date information can generally be found on the web pages of the
national automobile associations.
