Drivers across the European Union will face sanctions for breaking traffic laws even when driving in a foreign country. "Traffic laws apply to all drivers, regardless of the country where their vehicle is registered," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.
The message is simple: as a driver, you would not break the traffic laws in your home country. You know the authorities can follow up upon traffic offences. The same will apply abroad, acting as a deterrent to breaking traffic rules.
