Portugal
Relax and enjoy your journey in Portugal with Drive Safe
Driving in Portugal can be quite challenging, particularly for those motorists used to even road surfaces and clear and regular road signs. The local driving culture tends to be generally quite fast. However, a little understanding of some of the basic driving principles adopted locally will help visitors achieve a more relaxed driving experience. Understanding some of the actions of local motorists - for example, tailgating is a common occurrence, flashing other motorists is a sign to get out of the way rather than to let them pass through – can also help ensure your visit is a safe and enjoyable one.
In addition, the high price of motorway tolls and the dramatic increase in car ownership have greatly increased congestion on smaller roads.
