Drivers face 'on-the-spot fine' for breaking little-known road rule

Experts have issued a warning to UK holidaymakers driving abroad.

Tim Rodie, driving expert at Motorpoint, said: "When driving in the EU, you'll be held to account if you break the rules of the road, just like at home in the UK.

"While many rules are the same, it is important to make sure you're familiar with the rules and road customs of the countries you'll be driving in."

The expert explained that while cross-border enforcement of traffic fines between the UK and EU countries has ended for the most part, "some fines may still be issued under specific circumstances," reports GB News.

He informed drivers that if they are fined, they should "make sure to pay it promptly, as they can increase significantly if ignored"
