In most countries of Western Europe traffic rules very similar to Ukrainian. However, each European country has its own rules that are aware of our tourist is a must. Ignorance of the laws you have will not release you from liability in the future. In this article I want to tell you about traffic rules in Italy.

Italy is a Republic, which is located on the Apennine Peninsula in the South-Western part of Europe. In Italy, as in most Western European countries, the bulk of automobile filling stations operate only in the daytime. So, knowing this, be careful and prudent. Refuel immediately full tank and make sure that gasoline in it was at least ten liters.

Oh, and another little detail you need to know. In accordance with the law in Italy to import and export of fuels and lubricants in containers is prohibited, so will need to refuel in advance. Why such measures have been taken by Italians, I did not understand, probably for greater fire safety.

Almost all highways in this country are paid. Depending on the vehicle travel on the Expressway ranges from 3 to 15 euros. And pay all, because the penalty for non-payment of fare is 300 euros. By the way, the receipt of payment do not try to throw out, in which case, you will need to show to a police officer. To pay for road services plastic cards or cash. Before entering each toll motorway is a few ATMs.

In Italy it is forbidden to talk on a cell phone while driving. You can buy your phone with a special pair of headphones with a microphone to talk on a mobile without hands. For violation of this rule can also get a penalty.

For most European countries are characterized by intersections equipped with them in a circular motion. Remember, if there are no signs or traffic controller, has the advantage that the flow of cars, which is on the circle. That is, it is your responsibility to first give all participants the road, and then enter the circle.

In settlements Italy move is allowed at a rate not more than 50 kilometers per hour. Outside built-up areas the speed is already higher from 90 to 110 kilometers per hour. Highways allow the driver to accelerate your car up to 130 kilometers per hour.

It is also useful to know that every driver should have in their car reflective vest. If at night you will need to get out of the car, you will need to wear.

Fines in Italy is quite impressive, so I advise every motorist to be careful that your wallet is not empty completely by the end of the trip. And yet, in this Republic, the police can take money for penalties prescribed for you. This is permitted by law.
