Driving in Finland: What Brits need to Know

Driving in Finland presents some unique challenges and opportunities. There are a few important things to keep in mind:

• Drive on the Right: Unlike the UK, in Finland you’ll be driving on the right-hand side of the road.
• Speed Limits: Residential areas usually have speed limits of 20-30 km/h. Outside towns and cities, the top speed is typically 100-120 km/h.
• Drunk Driving: Finland takes driving under the influence seriously. The legal blood alcohol content is 0.05% or 0.22‰.
• Headlights: In Finland, motorists are required to use headlights at all times. This rule applies all year round, regardless of the weather or time of day.
