In compliance with the rules of the Italian Highway Code, all users must drive responsibly and carefully, thus contributing to the quality of the service. In particular:

• travel in the free lane furthest to the right, occupying the remaining ones only for overtaking;
• always keep a safe distance;
• keep headlights on;
• in the event of a breakdown, never stop in a tunnel; if possible, continue outside and drive to the first available lay-by or Service Area;
• in case of drowsiness, stop at the first available lay-by or Service Area;
• do not use a mobile phone while driving and, if necessary, use a headset and/or hands-free device to make a call;
• in the event of a punctured or broken wheel, do not stop along the road; reach the first lay-by instead, even with a flat tyre or damaged rim: better to damage a tyre than to risk an accident;
• while driving, do not search for objects in pockets, the glove compartment or bags, and do not attempt to retrieve anything that may have fallen on the floor of the vehicle: stop at the first lay-by;
• do not throw anything out of the window: it is not only forbidden, it is dangerous for the driver and those behind you, plus it litters the roadway (there are special containers to be used at every emergency lay-by);
• adjust your speed according to traffic, weather and visibility conditions, always within the limit.
