HOW TO DRIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS
Conditions in Iceland are in many ways unusual and often quite unlike what foreign drivers are
accustomed to. It is therefore very important to find out how to drive in this country. In order
to reach your destination safely, you must keep your full attention on driving.
Where paved road suddenly
changes to gravel is a common
place for accidents to occur on
rural roads. The main reason is
that drivers do not reduce
speed before the changeover to gravel, and
consequently lose control.
Slow down and move your car as far to the
right as is safely possible when approaching
another car coming on a gravel road from
the opposite direction.
Blind hills, where lanes are not separate,
should be approached with caution. The
same applies to many blind curves.
Loose gravel on road shoulders has also
caused a great number of accidents.
