Every year, millions of Brits fly off to Italy for their holidays, but a simple mistake could land them in trouble.Touring the scenic European country by car is one way to get around.

While the idea of renting a car overseas may seem intimidating to some, travel blogger Gregor Brown encourages drivers to "take the plunge".However, if you do end up hiring a vehicle in Italy, he warns there's one error you'll want to steer clear of.

Gregor advised: "One thing you should never do in Italy is drive without your driving licence ID and also your car documents.""Always have your rental car agreement on hand if you're renting a car and the car registration documents along with your driving licence.

The Italian police establish checkpoints on the open roads and if they pull you over and you don't have these crucial documents, you'll be hit with a hefty fine."The RAC states that drivers in Italy should have their licence, a form of identification like your passport, the car's motor insurance document and the V5.Gregor also cautions drivers to be mindful of the roundabouts in Italy.
