Croatia vs Italy: Driving Rules Compared

Run a red light in Italy and the fine of EUR 167-665 comes with up to six licence points; do the same in Croatia and the fine, up to EUR 390, arrives without any points attached. Winter tyres are stricter in Croatia, mandatory every year from 15 November to 15 April, while Italy leaves the exact dates to regional rules. Speed limits otherwise match closely, both capping motorways at 130 km/h.
