How we check our guides

Each guide is written from the official pages of the city, the region or the national authority. We link every source at the bottom of the page.

We note the date we checked the sources. When an official page is unclear or contradicts another one, we say so instead of guessing.

Amanda is a driving app, not a legal service. Road signs and official notices always come first.
