Holidaymakers have been warned to think twice before hiring quads, beach buggies, motorbikes and mopeds abroad. Ahead of the summer holiday season, the holiday car rental experts at StressFreeCarRental.com have cautioned tourists looking for fun, warning that the vehicles can be dangerous.
Vehicles like mopeds are readily available and accessible to tourists abroad, especially in party destinations like Greece and Thailand. Still, many are unaware of the dangers and are quick to ignore road rules when using them, the hire company said.
It said deaths and accidents involving tourists who hired the vehicles abroad last year meant holidaymakers would be best advised to avoid hiring them unless on a supervised excursion. It said that while abroad on holiday, tourists can forget the importance of following road rules, failing to take basic safety precautions like wearing helmets, and even drunk driving, which can have serious consequences.
