Once you pass your driving test in the UK, the world is your oyster! With your licence, you’re given what is perhaps the ultimate freedom – an opportunity to see the sights, to road trip with friends, and to travel both locally and internationally without the hassle and cost of public transport. With excellent links between the UK and France (the car ferries and the Eurotunnel), a popular destination for young drivers is Europe, but it’s important to plan this sort of road trip carefully as countries on the continent adhere to different rules and regulations, and drivers can be reprimanded for failing to follow protocol.
