The thought of driving abroad can, at first, seem intimidating, yet it can also be hugely rewarding. Not only is it a great way to see where you’re visiting, it’s also a fantastic experience as you can often experience wide open, virtually deserted roads that are, literally, a world away from the ones in the UK.
