UK tourists in Cyprus face a £75 fine over a little-known “snack” law. Brit tourists who are driving in Cyprus have been warned not to fall foul of the law, or else they risk being punished with a financial reprimand and penalty amid the Cost of Living crisis.

In Cyprus, a €85 fine could be heading your way if you choose to indulge in a snack or drink on the road, as doing so is illegal. While lots of people in the UK choose to keep their headlights on at all times, many people stick to using them when it gets dark – or have automatic headlights that come on when needed.

In Sweden, however, headlights are a necessity for all cars at all times, possibly due to far fewer hours of daylight in the country. Make sure that, during the day, your headlights are on but dipped, as full-beam will dazzle fellow road users.

It is safe to say that as soon as a sliver of sunshine hits the UK, some Brits might opt to not wear a shirt while driving. However, if you are considering exploring the wonders of Thailand, it will (literally) pay to know that it is illegal.

Driving topless throughout Thailand will only land you with a small fine of around ฿500 (£10.94), but it is still not worth putting a dampener on the holiday to do so. The warning comes from Select Car Leasing’s Graham Conway ahead of the summer holiday season.

While the UK has the Congestion Charge, Clean Air Zones, and the upcoming ban on petrol and diesel cars, we do not have the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) or Number Coding Scheme, as they do in certain areas of the Philippines. The scheme stipulates that between certain times of the day, cars with particular licence plates must avoid being on the roads. For example, in certain cities throughout the country on Mondays, cars with licence plates ending in the numbers 1 or 2 are prohibited from 7am until 7pm. Throughout the week, the numbers rotate, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
