So if you've been hurriedly donning the St Tropez, digging out your dinky shorts and that much used copy of 'Walking on Sunshine' by Katrina and the Waves in anticipation of a Thelma and Louise style road trip abroad, then there are a few things that you should bear in mind.

Many Brits take to foreign roads every year but, to the horror of car insurance providers, most are terribly unprepared. Remember that you can't just sling an atlas of Europe and a foreign phrase book in your glove compartment and hope for the best you must also pack the following:

Spare bulbs: these are compulsory in Spain, Italy, Slovenia and Austria and a bright idea when travelling through other countries as well

Warning triangle: this is either compulsory or recommended throughout the European Union

Fire extinguisher: this is compulsory in Belgium and generally a great safety measure

Spare set of keys: getting locked out of your car will put a real dampener on your trip

A first aid kit: compulsory in Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Austria, it could be a life saver

A tool kit: modern women are always prepared.

Up to date maps of the region to which you are travelling - you will be able to find your destination with ease and avoid asking smug men for directions along the way.

Once you have all this covered you should check with the tourist board of the country to which you are travelling and ensure you are aware of any specific driving requirements or road laws imposed by that country.
