Nigel Bartram, Aviva's UK insurance motor underwriting manager, said: "An estimated two million British tourists take to their cars for driving trips to neighbouring European Union countries each year. We advise drivers in Germany to be extra careful, as about two-thirds of the Autobahn network still has no speed limit.”
