Travelling by car is a great way to discover other countries. It gives you a lot of freedom to quickly move from one place to another, and to discover places off the beaten track.
It's well worth setting aside a few minutes to look into road rules and regulations in different countries so you don't unknowingly get yourself into trouble. Here are just a few examples:
France motorists stopping on open roads must make sure that the vehicle is driven off the road completely.
Germany motorists can be fined for using abusive language, making derogatory signs and running out of petrol on a motorway.
Greece the Greek police can remove the number plates of illegally parked vehicles. While this generally applies to Greek registered vehicles, drivers of foreign registered vehicles should be aware of the rule and avoid parking illegally.
Norway in addition to some road, bridge and tunnel tolls, motorists entering Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim are requested to pay city tolls.

On the last one I think that'd be a good idea for the UK, but then more and more park and ride schemes would have to be in place for those unable to walk a distance or, for those who simply couldn't be bothered so would we not be expanding the city/ies? :headscratch.gif:
If public transport was at a decent level I for one wouldn't dream of taking my car into a city so would this depend on a greatly improved public transport service?
I'm all for this sort of thing in principle but it needs a lot of infrastructure refurbishment and new design beforehand.
