DEAR EDITION!
I ask to inform: that is necessary for the Russian motorist for
Travel on the domestic car across Europe? What
Requirements are shown to the car what are necessary the insurance, visas?
Tell about the most interesting and safe routes.
For certain there are people who have made similar trips and can
To share experience. It is assured, that this material will be useful
Much. Crisis by crisis, and the world to look it would be desirable.
Alexander Barinov, N.Novgorod.
At edition "Stock exchanges plus avto" is own experience of the foreign
Trips: in 1997 on editorial Toyota Land Cruiser we
Have driven 9 thousand kilometres on the several European countries. In
The nearest numbers "avtoshki" we will acquaint you with most
Safe route, with the list necessary for the foreign
Trips of documents, with features of national rules of the road
Movements and the basic sights. Today we will give
Some recommendations of the general character.
LANGUAGE the Foreign language - an essential barrier to our citizens
During movement across Europe. Even institute (not
injazovskoe) the knowledge of language does not give to our person of possibility
Assured, beskompleksnogo dialogue abroad. In it it is guilty
The notorious "Iron Curtain" which has deprived our compatriots
Freedom of dialogue with foreigners, so, and language practice.
Being going to abroad, in advance look for good phrase books or
Phrase book in which are given in parallel some languages. Not
Take the first comer. One phrase books are copied with
Foreign editions of semicentenial prescription, others surprise with presence
Confused phrases which would be necessary only in perfect
Artificial situations.
Consider, that across Europe it is not enough for travel
To be limited only to an English phrase book or knowledge of it
Language. Certainly, English is language of the international dialogue
And very much it is useful to you at visiting, except the Great Britain,
Finland, Sweden, partly Holland. In other countries in language
Shakespeare you can speak only at restaurants,
Supermarkets of large cities or on official actions.
In an ideal - it is necessary to know language of that country where you go. If
Be going to to Germany, Austria, Switzerland it is necessary to recollect or
To practise German. With French at you will not be
Problems, except France, in Belgium and Switzerland.
It is not necessary to despair, if with language at you a problem, and time
Before departure for visiting of a language course is not present. To the motorist, I
I consider, all the same it is easier, than "bezloshadnomu" - it is not necessary infinitely
To change to different types of transport and something is constant
To ask. Know to itself drive and look attentively on
Guide signs.
First of all you should learn or accurately to remember, where
Are in a phrase phrase book to ask the bill at restaurant
Or for the service specified to you to ask road to hotel, to ask
To show any thing in shop (names of all things to learn
It is impossible - simply will show gesture).
It is very important to learn names of the basic dishes and to be able to consider
At least to ten (it is even better - to hundred).
It is possible to offer simple receptions for orientation in the another's
To the language environment. In all shops and on refuellings there are cash
Devices - how much to pay, will orient on figures on
The display. At restaurant ask to bring the bill for a dinner. Even
The taxi driver if ask, will give out you the check (and cash!).
If in any other conditions you have not understood the named
To you the sum or, for example, number of your room of hotel, ask
To write this figure ("Shrajben-zi, bitte"or"Ekrive-vu, sil vu
ple ").
If dialogue problems on a foreign language you too
Frighten - take in the company of the friend or the girlfriend, well
Knowing language. Will not suffer and is more sensible will spend time.
The CAR. On the domestic car in travel across Europe
It is possible to go, if it is reliable. Repair abroad you
Will ruin and will spoil all charm of travel. Hopes that
On a roadside it is possible to be engaged in large repair, as at us (read -
To spill butter, to scatter rags and filters), are vain. You
Will simply fine for the impressive sum.
The car to which it is necessary foreign voyage, should be
It is completely checked up. All suspicious should be
It is repaired or replaced by qualitative accessories.
The carburettor is adjusted on the minimum maintenance WITH and adjusted
On economic driving.
In general, spend money here for operational development of the car is better,
Because cost of services on local HUNDRED will seem to you
Astronomical (and without magnificent knowledge of language you there especially not
Will bargain), the Russian prices - ridiculous. (It is a question about
Working costs, cost of firm spare parts almost
It is identical.) there repair of units as that usually not
Are engaged, and simply them change. For example, spetsy hardly will get in
The generator to replace the burnt slightly brushes, and simply take and
Will replace it entirely. If there will be a similar opportunity, not
Forget to offer the "departed" unit on account of new (if on
To your car there are units of known western firms - "boshevskie"
Starter, the generator, for example).
What domestic car is more preferable for so
Responsible mission? Economic and not the close. Is better, on
My sight, peredneprivodnyj VAZ. On a jeep I do not advise to go:
Impassability is difficult for finding in Europe, will damn appetite of the motor, and
It is necessary to pay extra for excess of dimensions on the ferry.
To save on fuel payment (and it along with payment of hotels
The lion's share of expenses on travel abroad) it is possible
Several ways. The first: the car should have the economic
The petrol engine (the diesel engine would be more preferable but while it
Can brag rare vazovskie "four" and "Field", therefore not
Let's will while consider this variant). The second way:
If, having counted in advance the general kilometric area of a forthcoming trip,
You receive impressive figure seriously think over
Installation on the car of gas equipment. It you will kill at once
Two hares: considerably improve profitability and will lower toxicity
Exhaust gases. The refuelling union gazoballonnoj equipments,
Established on the domestic car, as a rule,
Corresponds to an European standard. But all the same, if dare on
Installation, necessarily specify this nuance.
And the last. Do not drive on our potholes to border.
Accurate driving - an additional guarantee, that is not necessary to you
To resort to services good, but very expensive western
Service.
CURRENCY. To take out now from Russia without declaring it is possible 500
Dollars (specify this information once again before departure). On
Export of other sum it is necessary to have the permission, therefore, changing
Money in bank, do not forget to take its permission.
Into what currency to transform our roubles? In currency of those countries,
Which you were going to to visit. Proportionally time of stay
In them and to desire something to buy. Forget about omnipotence of dollar (it at
Us it is mighty, well in Poland, perhaps). In Finland are necessary
The Finnish stamps, in Germany - DM (on the ferry,
Plying on mar-shrutu Helsinki - Travemjunde, both those and others
Will accept), and in France - the French francs and so on.
Anybody in a civilised country will not covet on your "green",
And will send to change in exchange office (which only in the large
Cities it is possible to find) or bank. In small town the bank will appear
In a singular, hours of its job will not coincide with a mode
Movement on the country of early or late birds of passage in the person
Our motorists. Having wasted time (and gasoline) on searches of bank and
Expectation of its business hours, you still will wait, while serving, not
Strongly understanding, unlike Russians, in portraits
The American presidents, will start to identify yours it is proud
The stretched hundred dollars. We were witnesses, as at the sight of
50-dollar denomination the bank employee was imposed with catalogues, and
Then still somewhere called to consult. And after all it was bank
"Regional" French city!
Whether it is necessary for you?
It is quite good to have at itself if will go to France, francs
Thirty "in metal". At once from the French border will begin
Paid avtoban. Having thrown coins in the automatic machine, receive the check and quickly
Will drive control point. However, paper francs to you too
Will exchange (and DM, only not on the most favourable
To course), but time for journey will leave more.
HOTELS. During travel it is necessary to approach to a choice of hotels
Seriously. If to rely on our usual "perhaps" and
To stop without discrimination in first, any
The budget will not sustain. If you not Rockefeller, certainly.
(Practical Europeans reserve places some months prior to
Holidays and thanks to it receive discounts, but it is obvious not ours
Case.) in Germany, for example, in such large city, as
Hamburg, single room a day to you will manage in 110-225
DM, and in motel on road - 60 DM (if
Will carry, also with a breakfast). In Paris pay for the single
Number not less than 300-400 francs (50-65 dollars), and in it
Suburb, in any twenty kilometres from capital, 3-seater
Hotel "п?п?я п я п п -1" number will manage to you of all in 114-134 francs
(19-22 dollars).
Feel a difference?
In an ideal it is necessary to have a map of cheap hotels or to learn their addresses
At people skilled.
If all the same, the charter for a day to drive and having given up as lost
Choice comprehensible at the price of hotel, you stop in the first
Got and on happy coincidence of circumstances number price
Will seem to you comprehensible look in a hall for booklets and prospectuses.
Perhaps this hotel is included into a network of typical hotels with the identical
Quotations, and you will know their addresses.
