General Information: Source: Automobile and Touring Club of Finland, www.autoliitto.fiAccidents and emergencies: Police, Fire brigade and ambulance tel. 112 Carriage of children: When transporting a child under 135 cm in a private car, delivery car or a lorry, a restraint seat must be used, if the seat belts are fitted in the car, or the child seat can otherwise be fitted into the car. If no restraint seat can be fitted, the child in the age of 3 years at least, may not sit on the front seat. A child under 3 years may not be transported in a car at all without a restraint seat. The only exception for this are the taxis. All seats used must be approved according to the rule 44/03 of the United Nations European Economic Commission, or according to the EU directive 77/541/EEC, or according to the rules or standards later amended in that directive. Mobile phone and driving: Obligatory use of hands free device. Penalty 50 EUR. Nationality sign: Obligatory, unless the vehicle is registered in Geneva of Vienna Road Convention country and bears the so called “EU licence plates”. For vehicles registered outside Geneva or Vienna Road Convention coun-tries, despite such “EU plates” an additional nationality sign is required. Priority: At intersections, vehicles coming from the right have priority except on main roads. The approach to these main roads is indicated by a sign with a red triangle on a yellow background. When this sign is supplemented by a red octagon with STOP in the centre of the sign, vehicles must stop before entering the intersection. Trams and emergency vehicles, even coming from the left, always have priority over other vehicles. Seat belts: If fitted, compulsory use in all seats, front and back. Speed limits: Built-up areas: 31 mph/50 km/h, Outside built-up areas: 50-62 mph/80-100 km/h, Motorways: 74 mph/120 km/h, Cars towing a caravan or trailer are limited to 50 mph/80 km/h.

Traffic information:On-line traffic information about weather conditions, delays, road works etc. www.tiehallinto.fiTraffic offences: Police are empowered to impose on-the-spot fines, but not authorised to collect them. Fines should be paid at banks. Minimum fine 35 euros. Warning triangle: It is compulsory even for a foreign-registered vehicle to have a warning triangle in Finland. The use of hazard warning lights is not sufficient. Finland has very strict rules concerning the use of hazard lights. They may only be used in a vehicle stranded somewhere so that the vehicle may cause danger to other vehicles or traffic users. Therefore the hazard lights are not often used, if the vehicle stays on the side of the road due to a breakdown. Only the warning triangle is placed to warn other traffic users. Winter motoring: Snow tyres are compulsory in Finland from 1.12. to 28./29.2. This rule applies to all cars and vans weighing under 3500 kg, even those registered abroad. The tyres must be expressly intended for winter use and should be marked M+S. Their groove depth must be more than 3 mm. Studded tyres may be used 1.11.-31.3., or when weather conditions require. Studded tyres can be hired from VIANOR, www.vianor.com, or tel. +358-10-4013270, fax +358-10-4013279. The order must be placed in advance. Speed limits are generally lowered for winter time. It is important to drive more slowly when road conditions and visibility are poor, as ice and slush lengthen the braking distance. It is advisable to carry starting cables, a tow rope, a shovel, a bag of sand and some spray to prevent dampness in electric appliances.

General Information

National emergency telephone numbers: Hospital: 166, Police and emergency: 100National Tourist Board: www.greeka.comGreeks drive like crazy: It is a common fact that the Greeks drive like crazy, especially in Athens. Be careful, particularly if drivers in your country are civilized!Do not to drive a car within the city limits: First-time tourists in Athens are advised not to drive a car within the city limits. Better use public transportation or taxis. Traffic Jam: One of the biggest problems you will face when driving in Athens (and the major Greek cities) is traffic jam.Peak hours: In the peak hours, you will see plenty of cars parked illegally or double-parked. It seems that Greeks take the risk to get a ticket or cause damage to their car, while they get off to do a short task.Don’t miss your turn: If you miss your turn, do not expect that you can circle the block and get back where you wanted. Many streets in Greece are one way, so you may need to pass several blocks until you find a legal turn. Huge trucks, lorries and vans: Huge trucks, lorries and vans are allowed to move anywhere at anytime, even in the most popular or narrow streets. Don’t get upset with Greeks attitude: Even if you think that you bother nobody with your driving, people will do get annoyed: if you drive fast, you will be yelled at that you drive like crazy; if you drive slow, you will be yelled at that you block the cars behind! Try not to pay attention or get upset, just go on!Horns oftenly used: When you are in the traffic line, if red goes to green and you don’t leave in the first second, you will hear horns and yellings from behind. Horn in Greece is used in all cases: to prevent an accident but also to greet someone familiar in the street. The noise of horns may drive you crazy sometimes especialy in Athens’ centre.Change lines when nobody is watching you! If you turn on the signal to change lines when driving, the car behind will speed up to get in front of you. Change lines when nobody is watching you!Motocycles and taxis must be avoided: Most of all beware of motorcycles and taxis. Taxi drivers spend half a day driving and have too many nerves, so they lack patience and may result unpredictably.Always wear your seatbelt: Always wear your seatbelt. The accident rate in Greece is the biggest in Europe and extra attention is required. Also there are frequent police blocks, especially in the highways.Parking: Unless you are in the countryside or the forest, be patient when you are looking for a parking seat. Highways: The national highways around Athens are in good state. Usually, the speed rate in the highways is 100-120 km/h. However, some roads in the mountainsides are one-lined, have a lot of windings and pass through villages, so speed limit is much lower.Driver might past you on the right: There are more chances that a Greek driver gets past you on the right (ille-gally) rather than on the left (legally).

27

No signs: Most road signs are written in Greek and English, but there may also be no signs at all.Gas stations: Gas stations are usually open from early in the morning till the evening and some stay open 24 hours. Tolls: Be prepared to pay tolls in the highways. International Driving Permit: An EU or USA driving license is valid in Greece but you must also have an International Driving Permit.
