You may be fined 500 pounds or more if you are caught not wearing a seat belt or crash helmet or if you are using a mobile telephone or under the influence of alcohol while driving. Most roads, including inter city highways, are of a good standard. Short term visitors and tourists are permitted to drive on UK driving licences.

When hiring a car, moped, boat, jet ski or other vehicle, you should check that it is road or sea worthy and that you have appropriate insurance cover and safety equipment.
