As of October 7 this year, the city’s small-car fleet has exceeded 800,000 units, reaching 812,883 units. With the rapid increase in the number of private cars, more and more car owners have chosen to drive outside the holiday, and the range of self-drive has also begun to extend from home to overseas. Outbound driving, this seemingly unfamiliar way of traveling already has many early adopters. However, with a driver's license, you can drive abroad? What Raiders to Do in Advance? What are the possible troubles with different driving habits?
　　 Before you travel: the driver’s license translation
The owner Ms. Mei is an old driver with 5 years of driving experience. She enjoys the freedom of traveling by car. She has always wanted to experience the self-driving experience of outbound driving. However, she is somewhat unsure of the requirements for driving abroad. “I often see news and say foreign countries. People holding an international driver's license to drive in our country is not recognized, then we can hold a domestic driver’s license to drive directly outside the country? Is it necessary to apply for an international driving license?â€
In fact, according to the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic, a valid driver’s license issued by any country will be deemed as a valid driver's license by attaching the translation of the language of the destination country. At present, most of the owners who go abroad to choose their own car have chosen a more secure way. That is to say, they must have a driver's license translation certificate at the domestic notary office. Today's notary office also has an internationally recognized translation template and is available in English, French, German, etc. A variety of language formats to facilitate the relevant overseas responsible person and car rental company to read. It should be noted that different countries or regions have different requirements for notarization, and they should understand well before notarization.
Miss Chen, a citizen, traveled to Australia with her friends and they chose to travel by car. Ms. Chen told reporters that she had translated the driver's license before travelling. "Now there is such a service on Taobao. I bought a $140 translation service." But she also reminded us that for a car rental company, it is necessary. It is a translation that the local believes to be credible. For example, in Australia, the car rental company recognizes NAATI qualifications, ie translations approved by the Australian National Translation Qualifications Accreditation Board. For them, this is “notarization†if the domestic notary office is selected. However, there is no NAATI qualification, which means there is no notarization.
To be on the safe side, Ms. Chen suggested that he should understand the other party’s requirements in advance and not follow his own conjecture. “We have friends in the same business, we booked another car, and we did a notary in advance. The company did not recognize the notarial certificate and required translations by NATTI personnel. The result was delayed."
　　 When renting a car: Pre-order online is more favorable
For outbound travelers with tight schedules, it is necessary to do a good job of car rental in advance, especially to make full use of the Internet. In fact, car rental prices for many car rental companies are much higher than car rental prices on the Internet. Before going on a trip, you can check the car rental company’s detailed provisions on car rental, and understand the requirements and limitations of car rental companies on renters, especially Attention should be paid to the additional conditions. For many newcomers, even if they have a driver's license, they may not be able to drive abroad. Many countries or regions will impose restrictions on the age of car hirers and require time for driver's license.
In the car rental, in addition to the rental price of the car itself, but also including GPS and additional parts such as deductible compensation, many self-driving travelers will have such hesitation, do not save the money? "In my experience, we recommend that everyone is still able to protect the insurance. Everyone knows that overseas labor costs are particularly expensive. Once rubbing occurs, the repair cost is very high." Mr. Ye has had people in Germany, the United States and other places. Self-driving experience, "We were very sorry that we did not rent a navigation at the time. At first we wanted to save some money. We thought that there were navigation on the mobile phone. Then we got two different versions. The route was completely different. We found that the navigation on the mobile phone was not very reliable. There are a lot of roads, and the navigation speed of the mobile phone can't keep up with the speed. The GPS is quite reliable and there is no need to save the money."
At the same time, he suggested that after renting a car, the first thing to do is to fully familiarize themselves with the vehicle. “There is indeed a lot of difference between overseas and domestic vehicles. Although we all have certain driving experience, we were still dumbfounded after we got the car. Only half an hour to study the car dared to open.†He told reporters, “Like we are accustomed to the handbrake, but many cars are used outside the foot brake, the center console functions are mostly concentrated in the steering wheel, because the driver bit left and right The difference is that it is very likely that you would like to hit a direction light and touch the wiper. These should be familiarized in advance."
　　 Driving: Fast speed, but also strict rules
For drivers who are not skilled in driving skills, what is more worrying is the difference in driving habits abroad. “Do you drive on the left side of the country and change it all at once? And for those of us who are not proficient in English, how can we Can you read the local traffic signs?"
In many outbound driving guides, familiarity with traffic rules is repeatedly mentioned. It should be noted that Europe has stricter regulations on traffic violations, and electronic devices can be used to catch various violations such as speeding, calling a mobile phone, not wearing a seat belt, driving in a restricted area, and so on.
In the United States, when driving by car, at the intersection where there is no traffic light, we can see the "Give Way" sign and make it work. When you meet “STOPâ€, you must stop completely. If there is no pedestrian or vehicle at the mouth, stop for 3 seconds to observe the situation and then proceed. The smashing of the "STOP" plate is a serious violation of the red light. When the school bus stops and the red stop sign “STOP†is turned on, all the same and opposite vehicles must be completely stopped and parked 6 meters away from the school bus. It is a serious traffic violation to go beyond school buses that are parked on and off students.
Ms. Chen told reporters that although she had a full understanding of Australia’s traffic rules prior to travel, it was still a bit embarrassing after arriving in the local area. “I remember that when I arrived in Melbourne, I was looking for a hotel in the downtown area because I couldn't read the traffic signs and I had four laps in the same area.†And this often happens, and she thinks the best way is to look at it, “First understand the local driving habits and rules, then slowly explore, prefer to bypass the road and do not violate the traffic rules.â€
She also said that in addition to the unfamiliar traffic rules, another challenge is driving habits. “The biggest feeling of driving from the left to the right is that we are not accustomed to it. At first, we always feel that the opposite car seems to be knocked over. It will take some time to adapt."
Germany is known as a paradise for self-driving enthusiasts. There are no high-speed fees and high-speed restrictions. There is an argument that driving on the German highway is Schumacher. No matter if it is a young man or an old lady, the speed is basically no less than 150 km/h.
"For those who are not used to driving fast trains, there is indeed a feeling of a heart popping out." Mr. Ye told reporters, but he also said that although the speed is fast, but the Germans are very disciplined to drive, on the highway, the more left The higher the speed limit of the lane, the auxiliary road car will definitely allow the main road to be free from traffic, and it will not easily change lanes. When the car is tired, it will take out the fast lane on the left, and it will be on which road it will go. Local driving habits.
