Urgent warning to British holidaymakers who are planning on driving abroad this summer

Drivers who are planning summer holidays abroad are being urged to check their destination of choice's road safety and traffic rulings before they depart, to avoid getting stung with heavy penalties and fines alike. Road rules differ from country to country, and you could be caught out massively if you don't do your research beforehand - warns StressFreeCarRental.com.

The car rental comparison geniuses identified ten unusual road signs across Europe which people may not be too familiar with, to help educate road users with ambitions of driving abroad. And there are some trickier rules than driving on the other side of the road, let it be said.

For example, unsafe overtaking as well as violating road signs could see you stung with a €300 fine. Meanwhile, in France, you could see a penalty of €135 or even lose your licence for ignoring certain traffic signals.
