Planning a trip abroad? Thinking of taking the kids through Europe for the upcoming summer holidays? There are a few things you need to get sorted before you set off!

If you’re set on going on a European adventure by car, whether it be to see all the stunning monuments mainland Europe has to offer or to simply enjoy some of the fantastic roads on the continent, it’s important to know that there are quite a few (and by that we mean a lot) rules and regulations you must abide by in order to avoid being fined.

Planning your journey will likely save you time and money, especially with the different rules and regulations you will be facing in different countries throughout your trip. If you find that you’ll be crossing a few countries whilst on your break away, please go prepared as we know that being pulled over by the police and slapped with a fine, is far from fun.

Our friends over at AutoWeb have put together the info-graphic down below with useful information about what to pack before setting off paired with how much you’ll likely end up paying if you don’t prepare accordingly.

The main thing is to have fun and drive safe!
