According to the Centers for Disease and Control Road, road related incidents are the leading cause of non-natural death for healthy U.S. citizens residing or traveling abroad, regardless of mode (public or private transit). According to the World Health Organization, the rate of road-related accidents continues to grow amongst foreign visitors.
Despite these statistics Americans can freely drive in 174 countries around the world without any need for understanding local road environments. Today, all that’s necessary to drive abroad is a filled-out $20 application for an international drivers permit.
Taking only a few minutes and a few dollars to learn driving conditions before travelling can teach you something, even a thing or two, that might help you avoid risk and even reduce large and unnecessary expenses (medical, vehicle damage, and driving fines).
As the phrase goes, not investing in prior education is penny wise, pound foolish. We believe Tripiamo is an investment that’s well worthwhile.
