Mobile Phones - in the majority of countries worldwide it is an offence to use a hand held mobile phone whilst driving and hands free equipment is not to reliable or always legal. Don't risk using one as you can receive a heavy fine in most countries and more important cause a serious accident.

Seat Belts are compulsory in front and rear seats in cars, vans, motorhomes in most countries. There are also restrictions on children sitting in front seats without a proper restraint in many countries. Make sure you always wear a seat belt as a driver or passenger (and that includes passengers in taxis and mini buses)

Drink Drive Laws - Examples of what can be drunk at present

It is not a lot and in some countries even to drink the glass on the right would be breaking the law if you drove afterwards in others a sip would be too much see "Wine" below. In many African, South American countries and European countries you cannot drive after drinking alcohol. This is Zero level.

"Wine - even a sip will send you over the limit and invalidate your insurance in Parkistan, Cuba, Indonesia, Romania, Jordan and Nigeria, according to Rhinocarhire.com which produces a comprehensive guide." The A to Z of car hire - The Independent - August 2010

With so many countries now have a very low limit (small glass of wine) or Zero consumption, It is better to avod drinking alcohol if you are going to drive.
