Tips For Driving In Italy
Be especially careful when setting off from service stations or restaurants on the left side of the road.

Take care when overtaking – allow more space between you and the car in front so you can see further down the road ahead.

Italy has stricter drink driving laws than the UK, only allowing 0.5 milligrams of alcohol per millilitre of blood (UK 0.8).
*
Seat belts front and rear are obligatory everywhere.
*
Speed limits, shown below, are implemented rigorously. Radar traps are frequent.

Replacement bulb set is recommended.
