Driving In Algarve – What To Avoid
Travel and Leisure August 28th. 2010, 1:01amHiring a car through a reputed Algarve Car Hire company is the best way to explore this spectacularly beautiful region of Portugal. But road accident rates in Portugal are one of the highest in Europe; so you need to avoid many things if you want to travel safely. For starter, Portuguese drivers are known for recklessly overtaking other cars and breaking speed limits. But you should never imitate them as spot fines in Portugal can be quite steep. Secondly, never allow your child if he or she is under 12 to seat in front, even in his or her special seat.
