Road rules before you drive — side, speed limits, alcohol limit, equipment, IDP

What a visitor needs before driving in each of the 41 spine countries: which side of the road, the national default urban, rural and motorway speed limits in the unit signed there (speedUnit km/h or mph, never converted), the blood-alcohol limit for ordinary drivers in g/100 ml (bacNote for novice and professional limits; 0 is a real zero-tolerance rule), equipment the law requires carried from a fixed vocabulary, and whether an International Driving Permit is needed (idpRequired, from GOV.UK's per-country table for a UK photocard licence; absent where that table is silent) — a hand-curated register with the authority's page and check date per row, added 13 Sep 2026; secondary-sourced entries are marked confidence: "secondary". A limit not set nationally is ABSENT, never zero (Germany's motorways, US and Canadian limits). country for one entry, countries for a side-by-side; without either, ranks by metric (speedMotorway default, speedUrban, speedRural, bacLimitPct), highest first unless sort=lowest, optionally filtered by drivesOn and idpRequired; mph limits are ordered by their km/h equivalent for the sort only. For information only; conditions change — every response says so first.
