Facts about MGCC Czech Republic The Club was established recently, in April 2013 within the framework of Czech Classic Cars Club (CCCC), which helped the start-up. Affiliated to the MG Car Club UK. There have been numerous events such as rallies, regularity and orientation tours, hill climbs and circuit competitions implemented under this umbrella organization over the last 15 years for British classic cars. Based on this experience, the MGCC started with full swing into similar activities. There are about 300 MG cars of various age in the country, primarily after the WW II production years, such as MG TC, MG TD, MGA , MGB / GT, Midgets and few more powerful MGC, V8 and RV8, these having been imported from UK after the 1990.

General Information: Source: Automobile and Touring Club of Finland, www.autoliitto.fi Accidents and emergencies, Police N.B.: after 1.1.2007 new number 112 (not anymore 10022), Fire brigade and ambulance tel. 112. If you have a car accident, report it to Finnish Motor Insurance Centre, Liikennevakuutuskeskus, Bulevardi 28, 00120 Helsinki, tel. (09) 680401, fax (09) 68040391 Carriage of children, When transporting a child under 135 cm in a private car, delivery car or a lorry, a restraint seat must be used, if the seat belts are fitted in the car, or the child seat can otherwise be fitted into the car. If no restraint seat can be fitted, the child in the age of 3 years at least, may not sit on the front seat. A child under 3 years may not be transported in a car at all without a restraint seat. The only exception for this are the taxis. All the restraint seats must meet the minimum criteria of the certain type approval. All seats used must be approved according to the rule 44/03 of the United Nations European Economic Commission, or according to the EU directive 77/541/EEC, or according to the rules or standards later amended in that directive. The 2nd article of the seat belt directive says that the seats approved by the standards which were applied at the moment of the date of taking the restraint seat into use may be used until 9.5.2008. The requirement level set for restraint seats acc. to the seat belt directive entered into force on 1.5.1996 in Finland, but within a transfer period, which lasted until 31.12.1998 the production, import and sales of models cohering to the older standards was permitted. These seats can be used until 9.5.2008.

Crash helmets, Compulsory for motorcyclists, mopedists and passengers.

Mobile phone and driving, Obligatory use of hands free device will is in force after the 1.1.2003. Penalty 50 €.

Nationality sign, Obligatory, unless the vehicle is registered in Geneva of Vienna Road Convention country and bears the so called “EU licence plates”. For vehicles registered outside Geneva or Vienna Road Convention countries, despite such “EU plates” an additional nationality sign is required.

Overtaking, Overtake on the left, unless the vehicle to be overtaken is signalling to turn left. In parallel lines of traffic, vehicles may be overtaken on the right. Vehicles being overtaken should not cross the white line which indicates the lane for cyclists and pedestrians.

24

Parking, Stopping and parking prohibitions follow international practice. Parking meters are usually grey and operate for between 15 minutes and 4 hours. Parking lights must be used if the parking place is not sufficiently lit. Although wheel clamps are not in use, police may remove illegally parked vehicles, and levy a fine.

Priority, At intersections, vehicles coming from the right have priority except on main roads. The approach to these main roads is indicated by a sign with a red triangle on a yellow background. When this sign is supplemented by a red octagon with STOP in the centre of the sign, vehicles must stop before entering the intersection. Trams and emergency vehicles, even coming from the left, always have priority over other vehicles.

Road network, The main roads are surfaced with asphalt or oil-and-sand and are in good condition all year round. In southern Finland there are local weight restrictions from April to May because of frost heaving, and in northern Finland in May and the beginning of June. There are no toll roads.

Road service, 24-hour-road service phone number in whole Finland is 0200-8080 (1,95 €/minute and the local tel. company fee). For members of FIA clubs other number dedicated.

Road signs, Most signs conform to international pattern. Some examples of written signals are: Lossi-Färja = ferry, Tulli = customs , Aja hitaasti = drive slowly , Tie rakenteilla = road under construction , Päällystetyö = road surfacing , Kunnossapitotyö = road repairs , Aluerajoitus = local speed limit , Seat belts, If fitted, compulsory use in all seats, front and back.

Signalling, It is prohibited to sound a horn in towns and villages except in cases of immediate danger.

Speed limits, Built-up areas: 31 mph/50 km/h, Outside built-up areas: 50-62 mph/80-100 km/h , Motorways: 74 mph/120 km/h. , Cars towing a caravan or trailer are limited to 50 mph/80 km/h.

Traffic information, On-line traffic information about weather conditions, delays, road works etc. on service number of Finnish Road Administration, tel 0200-2100. Also on web pages www.liikennevirasto.fi Traffic offences, Police are empowered to impose on-the-spot fines, but not authorised to collect them. Fines should be paid at banks. Minimum fine 35 €.

General Information National emergency telephone numbers: Hospital: 166, Police and emergency: 100 National Tourist Board: www.greeka.com Greeks drive like crazy: It is a common fact that the Greeks drive like crazy, especially in Athens. Be careful, particularly if drivers in your country are civilized!

Do not to drive a car within the city limits: First-time tourists in Athens are advised not to drive a car within the city limits. Better use public transportation or taxis.

Traffic Jam: One of the biggest problems you will face when driving in Athens (and the major Greek cities) is traffic jam.

Peak hours: In the peak hours, you will see plenty of cars parked illegally or double-parked. It seems that Greeks take the risk to get a ticket or cause damage to their car, while they get off to do a short task.

Don’t miss your turn: If you miss your turn, do not expect that you can circle the block and get back where you wanted. Many streets in Greece are one way, so you may need to pass several blocks until you find a legal turn.

Huge trucks, lorries and vans: Huge trucks, lorries and vans are allowed to move anywhere at anytime, even in the most popular or narrow streets.

Don’t get upset with Greeks attitude: Even if you think that you bother nobody with your driving, people will do get annoyed: if you drive fast, you will be yelled at that you drive like crazy; if you drive slow, you will be yelled at that you block the cars behind! Try not to pay attention or get upset, just go on!

Horns oftenly used: When you are in the traffic line, if red goes to green and you don’t leave in the first second, you will hear horns and yellings from behind. Horn in Greece is used in all cases: to prevent an accident but also to greet someone familiar in the street. The noise of horns may drive you crazy sometimes especialy in Athens’ centre.

Change lines when nobody is watching you! If you turn on the signal to change lines when driving, the car behind will speed up to get in front of you. Change lines when nobody is watching you!

Motocycles and taxis must be avoided: Most of all beware of motorcycles and taxis. Taxi drivers spend half a day driving and have too many nerves, so they lack patience and may result unpredictably.

Always wear your seatbelt: Always wear your seatbelt. The accident rate in Greece is the biggest in Europe and extra attention is required. Also there are frequent police blocks, especially in the highways.

Parking: Unless you are in the countryside or the forest, be patient when you are looking for a parking seat.

Highways: The national highways around Athens are in good state. Usually, the speed rate in the highways is 100-120 km/h. However, some roads in the mountainsides are one-lined, have a lot of windings and pass through villages, so speed limit is much lower.

Driver might past you on the right: There are more chances that a Greek driver gets past you on the right (illegally) rather than on the left (legally).

26 28

No signs: Most road signs are written in Greek and English, but there may also be no signs at all.

Gas stations: Gas stations are usually open from early in the morning till the evening and some stay open 24 hours.

Tolls: Be prepared to pay tolls in the highways.

International Driving Permit: An EU or USA driving license is valid in Greece but you must also als have an International Driving Permit.
