Anyway the following is taken from the UK/US foreign office sites:
Czech Republic Entry Requirements:
- Passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the day you plan to finish your trip.
- Every adult must carry identification at all times.
Driving in Czech Republic:
Road fatalities are occurring at an increasing rate in the Czech Republic, placing it amongst the most lethal places to drive in Europe. Main roads in the Czech Republic generally meet European standards; however, on side roads, drivers should be prepared to encounter uneven surfaces, irregular lane markings, and sign placements that are not clear. Streets in towns are not always in good condition. You should pay special attention to driving on cobblestone and among trams in historic city centers.
Czech law requires that drivers have their headlights on at all times when driving in the Czech Republic. The law also requires that all private cars, including those of foreign visitors, carry one of each of the following items:
- fluorescent GREEN high visibility safety jacket for each occupant (kept in car)
- first aid kit
- spare pair of prescription glasses kept in the glove compartment (if necessary)
- warning triangle
- complete set of spare bulbs.
Czech law also allows for breathalyzer testing for drivers stopped by local law enforcement officials for any reason. There is a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol and driving; driving with any trace of detected alcohol, however slight, is illegal. If you plan to drive in the Czech Republic you should not drink alcoholic beverages before doing so. Drivers could face an immediate fine or criminal justice proceedings.
A vignette (250 CZK / ~£8.50 for 10 days) must be purchased for motorway driving. These can be purchased from most Post Offices, petrol stations and from some bureaux de change and other outlets at the border.
