If you're driving in Armenia your checklist requirements are:

• A valid UK driving licence - both the photo and paper parts
• An International Driving Permit - find out more here
• A GB sticker on the back of your car - even if your car has 'Euro-plates' (number-plates that show a circle of 12 stars on a blue background)
• Your motor insurance certificate
• A warning triangle inside the car in case you break down
• Headlamp converters (stickers you put on your headlights when you're driving on the right, so your lights don't dazzle motorists coming the other way)
• A first aid kit
• A fire extinguisher

You must also:

• Be 18 or over
• Make sure everyone in the car wears a seatbelt at all times
• Wear a crash helmet if you're riding a motorcycle

It's a good idea to have:

• Spare bulbs for your car's external lights
• Winter tyres or snow chains if you're travelling between November and February

Other things you should know:

• When driving through Armenia roads can be of a poor standard, particularly in rural areas
• Some locals can be reckless behind the wheel so take care
• Not all insurers cover driving in Armenia so check before you go
