You are strongly recommended not to drink and drive. You can use your own driving license to drive for up to 12 months from the date of your last entry into the country. Or a current International Driving Permit can be used. In Britain you must drive on the left. Motorcyclists must wear helmets.
Insurance is compulsory.
Visitors bringing their own car from overseas require green-card insurance and should carry the car registration documents with them. Weather Holidays Holidays are obviously the busiest times of the year for booking accommodation as well as transportation, so you are advised to book well ahead for these dates. As these dates fall on Saturday or Sunday, an additional day may be given in lieu. In 2002 the UK Spring Bank Holiday which would normally be taken on Monday, May 27 has been moved to Tuesday, June 4. This is to mark HM Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee and allow for four days of celebrations.
