Cyprus Driving
Information
Short-term visitors and tourists are permitted to drive on UK driving
licences. Cypriot driving regulations are similar to those of the UK and
driving is on the left-hand side of the road. However, driving
standards are poor. In 2008 there were 82 road deaths in Cyprus.
This equates to 10.4 road deaths per 100,000 of population and
compares to the UK average of 4.3 road deaths per 100,000 of population
in 2008. You may be heavily fined if you drive without wearing a seat
belt or ride a motorbike without wearing a crash helmet. Heavy fines
also apply if you use a mobile telephone or are under the influence of
alcohol while driving.
