the correct answers: true (T), or false (F).

 Keep your car clean and shiny if you are in Russia, because driving a dirty car
can get you fined up to 2,000 rubles (about $57).

 In Costa Rica, you can drink beer while driving if you don’t get drunk. You
can drink beer with one hand and drive your car through the winding roads of
Costa Rica.

 Make sure that you have enough fuel in your car tank when you drive in the
famous high street in Germany - Autobahn. If you run out of gas, you will
break the law.

 Drivers in France are required to carry a breathalyzer kit in their cars.

Originally, drivers who didn’t have one were required to pay a fine of €11, but
this has been delayed.

 If you are not drunk, don’t get in a car with a drunk driver. In Japan, sober
passengers with a drunk driver can be punished under the law.

 In Cyprus, eating or drinking (even water) while driving is illegal. Eating a

quick snack or taking a sip of soda will make you pay an €85 fine.

 Luxembourg is serious about security, and cars are not allowed to drive if they
are not equipped with working windshield wipers.

 In Manila, the Philippines, you cannot drive your car on Monday if the
number plate ends with 1 or 2.
