Holidaymakers heading to Cyprus warned of driving rule that could land you with a fine

Brits heading to Cyprus are being warned of a driving rule that could leave them with a fine.

The Mediterranean island bring in around 1.2million tourists from the UK, though those who get behind the wheel have been told it is forbidden to eat or drink while driving. Even in temperatures of 34C, cooling down with a drink of water could land you with a fine.

Graham Conway, managing director of vehicle leasing specialists Select Car Leasing, said: “It’s always important to remember while travelling abroad that laws can vary a lot, and something that is considered common or normal in the UK can be illegal in another country. In Cyprus, it’s against the law to eat or drink while driving, and that includes soft drinks, water and snacks for the journey.
