The driving rules can be very different among countries and areas. Therefore, you need to learn the laws before travelling abroad, or you will get into trouble with the police.

The most common difference is the legal driving age. Simply, it is the age when a person can get their driving license to drive a motor vehicle. Most countries have a driving age of at least eighteen. However, in some states of the USA, the number is sixteen. Meanwhile, in New Zealand, a person must be at least fifteen to drive.

Surprisingly, women in some parts of the world are not allowed to drive no matter how old they are. Instead, they must travel by car with a male family member or hired male driver. This situation has changed, but only recently. Some countries even have very strange or unusual laws. For example, in Cyprus, it is against the law to eat or drink anything while driving.
