Motoring law abroad

Unless you're Jeremy Clarkson, if you take your car abroad for business or pleasure and become involved in accidents or motoring offences the experience can be confusing and potentially costly.

Dealing with the police in an unfamiliar country with unfamiliar and sometimes seemingly arbitrary motoring laws and penalties can be a stressful experience. So it is good to know that even abroad, you do have levels of protection that are similar to those in the UK. You should always get the right advice as soon as possible. Legal time limits for criminal and injury claims depend on the country you're in, and procedures do differ from country to country.
