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.

If you have a refined palate, a set of wheels and the strong urge to get the hell
out of dodge this weekend, take a ride up to beautiful Hvalfjörður, just 50km from
Reykjavík, for a feast of Icelandic delicacies. Fresh from the farm and into your
mouth, you will be treated to an opulent selection of courses like rock crap soup,
smoked lamb, beef in a cumin glaze, marinated salmon in wild mushroom sauce,
goose with orange berries and rhubarb chutney, as well as an abundance of gar-
den and root vegetables to trim your plate. Our tummies are rumbling just writing
this!
