Driving into Finland: If you want to drive into Finland from abroad, you must have a clear sign on the vehicle to identify the nationality of the vehicle. Vehicles of China nationality need to be insured at the border inspection office when entering Finland. The minimum insurance period is 30 days and the maximum is 1 year. Car lights: No matter at any time (morning or night), any weather (sunny or foggy), any place (city or country), all vehicles must turn on their car lights when driving. Seat belts: All personnel in a moving private car, including the driver, co-pilot and rear passengers, must use seat belts. Passengers in taxis must also use seat belts. In any case, only those who are unable to use the seat belt due to illness or injury can not use the seat belt. Driving without wearing a seat belt will be severely punished.
Drunk driving: Drunk driving is strictly prohibited in Finland. When the alcohol content in the blood exceeds 5‰, it will be counted as drunk driving. Violating this law will result in a fine or even imprisonment. If the blood alcohol content exceeds 1.2‰, it will lead to quite serious legal consequences. Warning signs of the existence of elk and reindeer: There are elk everywhere in Finland, and there are also many wild reindeer in Lapland in the north. Because of migration, these elk or reindeer often cross the road. This warning sign will roughly indicate the areas where reindeer or reindeer may appear. An adult reindeer may weigh 500-600 kilograms. It is very dangerous to collide with it when driving, which will lead to the death of drivers and passengers in serious cases. Gasoline fuel: There are many gas stations in Finland, and many gas stations have small supermarkets selling all kinds of food, drinks and daily necessities. Finland only sells unleaded gasoline, and the price of ordinary unleaded gasoline 95 and 98 is about 1 euro. Diesel is about 20%-30% cheaper than gasoline. Because almost all of Finland's oil is imported, its domestic oil price is greatly affected by the fluctuation of international crude oil market price. It costs about 6 euros to wash a car at a gas station.
Driver's license: You don't need an international driver's license to drive in Finland. When tourists stay in Finland for a short time, valid driver's licenses issued by most countries are considered valid. As there is no English information on China's driver's license, tourists should bring a valid notarial certificate (English version) issued by the notary office where their household registration is located. If you want to take a Finnish driver's license, you can apply to the police station and pass the computer test and road test. Car Rental: Many international chain car rental companies also have branches in Finland, such as Hertz and Avis. Visitors who plan to rent a car can consult the China office of the car rental company. Tires: Due to the slippery snow in Finland in winter, all vehicles under 3.5 tons must use non-slip winter tires from June 65438 to February of the following year.
