Prepare
There are many videos on YouTube that can prepare you well for a road trip around Iceland. If you're too lazy to watch them, just know this: whenever you come upon something unexpected, slow down. Or maybe even stop.

In case you have internet access while traveling, it is worth checking the website of the Icelandic Road Administration. It provides detailed information about overall road conditions, temperature, wind speed and direction and the traffic density almost in real time and also history for the past 48 hours.

More detailed weather information, including the forecast, issued warnings and Aurora borealis forecast is available at the Icelandic Meteorological Office website.

Stay safe
Map stops are located around the country to assist tourists with nearby landmarks and local maps. Information about road signs, current traffic conditions, and a detailed road map can be found at the Iceland Traffic Council.

If you plan on driving outside the Route 1-Ring Road be sure to know what you are doing. Using under-equipped cars on bad roads can turn ugly very fast.
