COVER: New regulations - what drivers in Europe need to be prepared for

The article outlines new driving regulations across several European countries that drivers should be aware of before traveling. In France, Italy, Spain, and Croatia, all passengers must wear reflective vests meeting EU standards, while Austria requires only the driver to wear one. Countries like Bulgaria, Lithuania, and Romania mandate fire extinguishers in vehicles. In Italy, toll refunds are available for drivers stuck in traffic caused by construction, but this applies only to Italian-registered vehicles. Toll payment methods vary, including manual payment at exits or using onboard units for automatic deductions. Special zones in Italian cities impose heavy fines for unauthorized entry, monitored via license plate recognition cameras. In Austria, tolls are paid through stickers or electronic tags, with digital options becoming mandatory after 2027. Spain requires flashing warning lights for breakdowns, with geolocation-enabled devices available for purchase. New rules require an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for entry into the UK, regardless of travel method.
