DRIVING AND PARKING

Adjusting a Malta driving day for rain

Adapt the itinerary and your driving to the conditions rather than trying to preserve every planned stop.

Allow the plan to change

Check current weather information before travelling and consider how parking, walking and visibility affect the outing. Learn the wiper and demisting controls before they are needed. If conditions make a planned road or stop unsuitable, choose an alternative rather than relying on the original schedule.

PLANNING EXAMPLE

A situation worth thinking through

A coastal stop that suits a dry afternoon may not suit the same group in poor conditions.

Driving and parking: the wider picture

Prepare for the actual vehicle and journey before leaving the handover point. Transport Malta’s current road guidance is the authoritative starting point for local driving information.

Set up navigation while safely parked and follow the road signs and conditions you encounter. A navigation suggestion is not permission to enter a restricted street or park somewhere prohibited. Rental vehicle use, authorised drivers and incident reporting remain governed by your agreement. For unfamiliar controls, ask the handover representative or consult the actual vehicle instructions; do not experiment while driving.
