SAFETY NOTES
- 01Crime rate is among the lowest in the world. Real risks are weather and roads, not people.
- 02Check road.is and vedur.is daily before driving — sudden whiteouts and Atlantic storms close highways without warning.
- 03Never drive off marked roads or across rivers; off-road driving is illegal and 4×4 rescues cost thousands.
- 04Tap water is excellent; bottled water is a tourist tax.
