Czech Republic Driving
Information
You can drive in the Czech Republic on a UK Driving licence.
In 2008 there were 1,076 road deaths in the Czech Republic.
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.
If you are planning to drive to the Czech Republic, you may like to
consult a local motoring hotline, available in Czech and English on
(tel: 00 420 1230). You should check arrangements for driving on
motorways in the Czech Republic. A user tax vignette must normally be
purchased for motorway driving. These can be purchased from most Post
Offices, petrol stations and from some bureaux de change and other
outlets at the border. Failure to display a valid vignette can result in
a fine.
Since July 2006 new rules have been in force concerning driving in
the Czech Republic. You should familiarise yourself with local motoring
regulations and the penalty point system in advance of driving
in the Czech Republic.
Drivers should be aware that there is a zero-tolerance policy in the
Czech Republic for drivers under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs.
You must have your headlights on dipped beam when driving anywhere
in the Czech Republic, at any time.
It is a requirement under Czech law that all private cars, including
those of foreign visitors, carry the following items:
1 x Fluorescent Green High Visibility Safety Jacket
1 x First
Aid Kit
1 x Spare pair of prescription glasses (if necessary) - kept
in the glove compartment
1 x Warning triangle
1 x Complete set of
spare bulbs
