Driving Tips

Keep your headlights on at all times when driving outside of town or cities. This is becoming a standard with the introduction of day driving lights as a new safety feature on new vehicles. Another tip is to get used to approaching roundabouts that seem to be everywhere it Italy. The general rule is that any motors on the roundabout have the right of way, but exceptions can occur. Follow the local signage and you will be okay.
