Driving rules & facts

  1. Drive on the Right

    Chile uses right-hand traffic. Overtake on the left. On multi-lane roads, use the right lane for slower traffic. Roundabouts flow anti-clockwise.

  2. Ley Emilia (Zero Tolerance)

    BAC limit of 0.03% for private drivers and 0.00% for professionals. Causing death while intoxicated carries a mandatory minimum 1-year prison sentence under Ley 20.770. Named after 9-month-old Emilia Silva Figueroa, killed by a drunk driver in 2013.

  3. Mandatory Seatbelts

    Seatbelts mandatory for all occupants (front and rear). Children under 12 must sit in the rear. Children under 9 must use age-appropriate child restraint systems (sillas infantiles). Infants under 2 must use rear-facing seats.

  4. Revisión Técnica

    All vehicles must pass an annual technical inspection (revisión técnica) at authorized plants. New vehicles are exempt for the first 2 years. Inspection covers emissions, brakes, lights, tyres, and safety equipment.

  5. SOAP Insurance

    Seguro Obligatorio de Accidentes Personales (mandatory personal accident insurance) is required for all vehicles. Covers injury to third parties. Must be current alongside the revisión técnica. No SOAP = vehicle cannot circulate legally.

  6. TAG Electronic Toll

    Santiago's urban motorways use TAG electronic toll collection. Vehicles must have a TAG transponder for Costanera Norte, Vespucio Express, Autopista Central, and others. Non-TAG vehicles using autopistas receive invoices with surcharges. TAG is expanding to interurban highways.

Tips for choosing a driving school in Chile

  1. Compare prices from at least 3 schools before enrolling. The cheapest option is not always the best — check what is included in the package.
  2. Ask schools about their pass rates. A higher pass rate often indicates better instruction quality.
  3. If Chile's official language is not your first language, ask if the school offers instruction or materials in your language.
