Acquaintance with Cyprus. Rent a moto and bicycle (moped, scooter, motorcycle, buggy, quad bike, bicycle, etc.) in Cyprus.

Recently, an increasing number of tourists, arriving in one or another country of the world, choose active and intense rest instead of passive lying on the beach or near the pool at the hotel. The island of Cyprus, in this regard, is also not an exception, in addition to traveling by public transport, taxi or rented car, you can rent a bicycle, scooter, moped, motorcycle, quad bike and other types of bicycles or motorcycles and independently explore the surroundings of wonderful and diverse island.

Cyprus is a relatively small island, but it is very diverse. Traveling in Cyprus by bike, scooter or motorcycle, one can visit amazing, and sometimes unique, hidden from human eyes, locations that cannot always be seen on trips or when traveling by car. In addition, in Cyprus a huge variety of routes, trails of varying difficulty, country roads have laid, winding between pines and mountain serpentines, where you can perfectly ride a bike, scooter, motorcycle or quad bike.

Features of the left-hand traffic in Cyprus

In Cyprus left-hand traffic is organized, which went to the Cypriots from the former colonial state of England, which previously owned the island of Cyprus. That is why tourists coming to Cyprus should drive very carefully, especially when overtaking and at intersections.

But immediately it is worth noting that the traffic on the roads of Cyprus is organized quite well and competently: the markings on the roads are clear and understandable, all signs and road signs are necessarily duplicated in English and arranged in such a way that they are very clearly visible. In addition, Cypriots are polite on the roads and are sympathetic to tourists moving on a rented vehicle. Local drivers, knowing that travelers who come to Cyprus need some time to adapt to the left-hand traffic, will always give a way and help, they will not nervously beep: "let\'s go faster, I\'m in a hurry." Road hogs and cads are rare on the roads of Cyprus and there are not too many cars.

Driving along the roads of Cyprus it is worth remembering that overtaking needs to be done on the right, and signs and traffic signs are on the left.

Many intersections on the island have a circular motion, and if, for example, approaching such an intersection, you need to turn right, then you first need to turn left and go into a circle and from there also turn left. ATTENTION: the opposite lane is located RIGHT!

In addition, the entire rental moto transport in Cyprus has red numbers, as if “warning” the residents of Cyprus that they need to show attention, restraint and caution to this passing vehicle.

As the tourists, who visited Cyprus and rented a vehicle, assert, “reformatting” to the left-sided driving style happens quite quickly - in just a few days the driver feels confident and does not go to the oncoming lane.

Traffic regulations in Cyprus.

It is a pleasure to ride a bike, scooter, moped or motorbike in Cyprus. The traffic on the roads is very quiet, and in some cities, in general, cars pass very rarely. You get used to the left-hand traffic rather quickly and the very next day it seems that it has always gone that way.

Every tourist who comes to rest in Cyprus and who is going to take a motorcycle for rent, in order not to overshadow their vacation, first of all you need to remember the basic rules of the traffic in Cyprus:

1. There is left-hand traffic on the island
2. At intersections, the advantage is to the vehicles approaching on the right, and in circular traffic, vehicles moving in a circle.
3. The driver and all passengers in the car, including those sitting in the back, must be fastened. For the transportation of children under 12 years old, a special chair must be used, which must be installed in the back seat.
4. Talking on a mobile device while driving a vehicle is prohibited. At the same time, the concept of "driving" also includes staying behind the wheel of a standing car with a running engine. Therefore, to make a phone call or answer a call, you must not only stop the car, but also turn off the engine.
5. It is forbidden to have food and drink beverages while driving a vehicle.
6. It is possible to turn right to the green signal of the traffic light even after the turn arrow has gone out. At the same time, it is necessary to skip oncoming cars before the maneuver.
7. The maximum allowable speed of traffic is: in the village - 50 km/h, on the highway outside the city - 80 km/h, on the highway - 100 km/h. When driving on the highway, there is also a lower speed limit - 65 km/h, the slower of which is prohibited to move.

All drivers in Cyprus are advised to have sunglasses, because during the day the sunlight is too bright and to drive a vehicle without glasses in such conditions is extremely dangerous - the sun can dazzle at the most inopportune moment. It is also known that in the evening, from 4 to 7 pm, it is quite dangerous to travel from east to west of the island, since the dazzling setting sun can also cause an accident.

ATTENTION: technical devices like anti-radar and navigators, which inform about the approach of the vehicle to stationary fixers (radars) of speed and, recently, beloved by many drivers, use in Cyprus is strictly prohibited

Fines for violation of traffic rules in Cyprus

Traffic police are seldom on the roads, but any violation of traffic rules can result in a rather large fine. The amount of the penalty for violation of traffic rules will be specified in the receipt, which will be issued by the traffic police officer. Even in the case of a simple violation, the driver will have to part with at least 20 €.

If the driver violates the rules of the road, then, in addition to the fine, the traffic police may confiscate the vehicle, which will be returned to the lessor. Of course, you will not get the money back for renting a vehicle.

Serious violations of traffic rules are considered in court and for them not only an impressive fine can be imposed, but also a sentence of imprisonment. It is also worth noting that it will not be possible to “avoid” the fine, otherwise they will not be released from the country.

Violations for which the driver of a scooter or motorcycle in Cyprus may be fined:

• For driving without a helmet;
• For speeding;
• For driving drunk;
• For the throwing of garbage on the roadway;
• For letting a scooter or motorcycle to highways;
• For an accident committed by a drunk motorcycle rider, a deprivation of driving license for sure.

It is worth noting that in Cyprus for drivers there is a permissible measure of blood alcohol content - 0.22 ppm. In the official table of the influence of such an amount of alcohol on the body, it is said that a person has a heightened mood and some changes in behavior that are visible only to those people who know well the drinking person.

This level of alcohol content in the body is considered the maximum permissible, but you should always remember that the road is not a place for tipsy drivers, because there we are talking about the safety and life of other people.

Possible pitfalls when renting quads or buggies in Cyprus.

• Dishonest rental companies can palm you off not the most efficient motorcycles, or simply not be aware of any problems. That is why, we strongly recommend before renting to make a test circle near the rental point, listen to the work of the motor, check the brakes and the general functionality. If you have any doubts, it is better to replace the quad bike or buggy.
• Carefully read the lease agreement, especially items about damage to motorcycles, insurance claims and the return of the deposit.
• Before signing the contract, it is necessary to inspect the quad or buggy completely and record (photo, video) with the manager all scratches, chips, faults, etc.

Novice drivers and those who have forgotten the driving license at home will be able to ride around the island only as a passenger, since renting a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike in Cyprus is impossible without it. Attempting to negotiate with the employees of the rental companies usually ends to no avail, since none of the leasers want to take serious responsibility for the relatively small rental price. The fact is that Cyprus is part of the European Union (EU), and therefore the laws there are quite severe, and the fines are impressive.

It is also worth recalling that before renting a vehicle, it is necessary to pre-inspect the vehicle for chips, scratches and other types of damage. All defects should be recorded in the lease agreement, and also it is better to photograph them.
