Use 112 for any emergency. Emergency responders speak English.
You must carry a reflective vest and warning triangle. Police can fine you if these items are missing.
Tap water is safe to drink. You can refill water tanks at campsites or marked city fountains.
Summer thunderstorms can cause flash floods in low areas and underpasses. Avoid driving through water that covers your wheel hubs.
From November to March, local authorities spread salt on roads. Rinse your motorhome often to prevent rust damage.
