Earlier this year we looked at some basic guidelines for driving abroad. In this post we’ll outline some of the country-specific rules and regulations that you need to be aware of if you’re taking your car across either the Channel or the Irish Sea. A road trip to Ireland or France can be one of the highlights of any new driver’s year, but laws and driving conditions vary across countries, and are subject to change – sometimes seasonally. Both the AA and the RAC provide updates on European driving law online.
