Driving rules & facts

  1. Drive on the Right

    Czechia uses right-hand traffic. Overtake on the left. At unmarked intersections, the vehicle from the right has priority (přednost zprava). Trams always have priority.

  2. Zero BAC Tolerance

    Absolute zero tolerance for ALL drivers (0.00% BAC). Any detectable alcohol results in fines from CZK 7,000 (2024 reform), licence suspension, and 6 points. BAC above 0.10% is a criminal offence with up to 3 years imprisonment.

  3. Headlights On 24/7

    Dipped headlights (potkávací světla) must be on at all times — day and night, year-round, on all roads. This applies to all motor vehicles including motorcycles. Penalty for non-compliance: CZK 1,500-2,500.

  4. Dálniční Známka (Motorway Vignette)

    Electronic motorway vignette required for all vehicles up to 3.5t on dálnice and selected expressways. Available for 1 day (CZK 230), 10 days (CZK 300), 30 days (CZK 480), or 1 year (CZK 2,570) — 2026 prices. Purchase online or at petrol stations. No physical sticker since 2021.

  5. Winter Tyres (Nov 1 - Mar 31)

    Winter tyres mandatory from November 1 to March 31 when road conditions require (snow, ice, frost). Minimum tread depth 4mm. Also mandatory year-round on roads with winter tyre sign. Fine for non-compliance: up to CZK 2,500.

  6. Mandatory Equipment

Tips for choosing a driving school in Czechia

  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 Czechia's official language is not your first language, ask if the school offers instruction or materials in your language.
