Accidents and emergencies: Police, Fire brigade and ambulance tel. 112 

Carriage of children: When transporting a child under 135 cm in a private car, delivery car or a lorry, a restraint

restraint seat can be fitted, the child in the age of 3 years at least, may not sit on the front seat. A child under 3 years 

may not be transported in a car at all without a restraint seat. The only exception for this are the taxis.

bears the so called “EU licence plates”. For vehicles registered outside Geneva or Vienna Road Convention countries, 

despite such “EU plates” an additional nationality sign is required. 

Priority: At intersections, vehicles coming from the right have priority except on main roads. The approach to these 

main roads is indicated by a sign with a red triangle on a yellow background. When this sign is supplemented by 

a red octagon with STOP in the centre of the sign, vehicles must stop before entering the intersection. Trams and 

emergency vehicles, even coming from the left, always have priority over other vehicles. 

Seat belts: If fitted, compulsory use in all seats, front and back.

be paid at banks. Minimum fine 35 euros. 

Warning triangle: It is compulsory even for a foreign-registered vehicle to have a warning triangle in Finland. The 

use of hazard warning lights is not sufficient. Finland has very strict rules concerning the use of hazard lights. They 

may only be used in a vehicle stranded somewhere so that the vehicle may cause danger to other vehicles or traffic 

users. Therefore the hazard lights are not often used, if the vehicle stays on the side of the road due to a breakdown. 

Only the warning triangle is placed to warn other traffic users. 

Winter motoring: Snow tyres are compulsory in Finland from 1.12. to 28./29.2. This rule applies to all cars and 

vans weighing under 3500 kg, even those registered abroad. The tyres must be expressly intended for winter use and 

should be marked M+S. Their groove depth must be more than 3 mm. 

Studded tyres may be used 1.11.-31.3., or when weather conditions require. 

Studded tyres can be hired from VIANOR, www.vianor.com, or tel. +358-10-4013270, fax +358-10-4013279. The 

order must be placed in advance. 

Speed limits are generally lowered for winter time. It is important to drive more slowly when road conditions and 

visibility are poor, as ice and slush lengthen the braking distance. It is advisable to carry starting cables, a tow rope, 

a shovel, a bag of sand and some spray to prevent dampness in electric appliances.

Facts about The Greek Classic MG Car Club: 


• 40 members 

• Chairman: Elias G. Papadodemas 

• Magazine: 

• Editor: 

National emergency telephone numbers: Hospital: 166 

National Tourist Board: www.greeka.com 

Greeks drive like crazy: It is a common fact that the Greeks drive like crazy, especially in Athens. Be careful, 

particularly if drivers in your country are civilized! 

Do not to drive a car within the city limits: First-time tourists in Athens are advised not to drive a car within the 

city limits. Better use public transportation or taxis. 

Traffic Jam: One of the biggest problems you will face when driving in Athens (and the major Greek cities) is 

traffic jam. 

Peak hours: In the peak hours, you will see plenty of cars parked illegally or double-parked. It seems that Greeks 

take the risk to get a ticket or cause damage to their car, while they get off to do a short task. 

Don’t miss your turn: If you miss your turn, do not expect that you can circle the block and get back where you 

wanted. Many streets in Greece are one way, so you may need to pass several blocks until you find a legal turn. 

Huge trucks, lorries and vans: Huge trucks, lorries and vans are allowed to move anywhere at anytime, even in 

the most popular or narrow streets. 

Don’t get upset with Greeks attitude: Even if you think that you bother nobody with your driving, people will 

do get annoyed: if you drive fast, you will be yelled at that you drive like crazy; if you drive slow, you will be 

yelled at that you block the cars behind! Try not to pay attention or get upset, just go on! 

Horns oftenly used: When you are in the traffic line, if red goes to green and you don’t leave in the first second, you 

will hear horns and yellings from behind. Horn in Greece is used in all cases: to prevent an accident but also to greet 

someone familiar in the street. The noise of horns may drive you crazy sometimes especialy in Athens’ centre. 

Change lines when nobody is watching you! If you turn on the signal to change lines when driving, the car 

behind will speed up to get in front of you. Change lines when nobody is watching you! 

Motocycles and taxis must be avoided: Most of all beware of motorcycles and taxis. Taxi drivers spend half a 

day driving and have too many nerves, so they lack patience and may result unpredictably. 

Always wear your seatbelt: Always wear your seatbelt. The accident rate in Greece is the biggest in Europe and 

extra attention is required. Also there are frequent police blocks, especially in the highways. 

Parking: Unless you are in the countryside or the forest, be patient when you are looking for a parking seat. 

Highways: The national highways around Athens are in good state. Usually, the speed rate in the highways is 

100-120 km/h. However, some roads in the mountainsides are one-lined, have a lot of windings and pass through 

villages, so speed limit is much lower. 

Driver might past you on the right: There are more chances that a Greek driver gets past you on the right (illegally) 

rather than on the left (legally).

No signs: Most road signs are written in Greek and English, but there may also be no signs at all. 

Gas stations: Gas stations are usually open from early in the morning till the evening and some stay open 24 hours. 

Tolls: Be prepared to pay tolls in the highways. 

International Driving Permit: An EU or USA driving license is valid in Greece but you must also have an 

International Driving Permit.
