Detailed FAQ on the rental process
In most cases, country roads have only two lanes, but traffic jams are rare in them. There are special pockets along each road that drivers can use to overtake or make a short stop in case of a breakdown or other emergency situations.
Busy roads are well-lighted, so travelling on them is very comfortable even at night. The control over the implementation of the road rules at night is as strict as in the daytime, so it is not recommended to ignore the traffic regulations even on deserted roads.
