Be careful - sheep roaming

This car is set as a reminder of what can happen in traffic. It is located just outside the workshop of one of the insurance companies. The irony is that all cars entering look more or less like this one. Icelandic roads offer many hazards. If you are going to drive on them, take care, a lot of them are gravel and sheep tend to roam the roads - no seriously they do.

Iceland offers the traveller an adventure in a beautiful and rugged landscape.However, experience shows that the forces of Icelandic nature can be harsh and inhospitable, and travellers are well-advised to exercise caution and respect for the country's natural environment.

Unfortunately, there have been far too many accidents in the past few years involving foreign tourists travelling around the country. These accidents range from minor to fatal. The most common type of accident is that of hikers losing their footing on uneven terrain. The most serious injuries, however, are caused by road traffic accidents where travellers drive too fast in unfamiliar conditions and do not wear seat belts.
