How to stay safe on European roads?


The number of cars on European roads is increasing every year, which increases the risks for drivers. For example, last summer, highways from Germany to Croatia and Slovenia were overloaded, leading to chaos. In this regard, the authorities of different countries are launching campaigns to raise driver awareness.

It is worth remembering the basic safety rules: take breaks during long journeys, drink enough water, and follow the speed limits.

Also, don't forget to take out a Green Card, a compulsory international car insurance that is mandatory when traveling in the EU. This document will provide you with financial protection in case of an accident abroad.

You can buy car insurance for traveling abroad quickly and easily on the Visit Ukraine portal.
