Entering with a car is no major problem. It is recommended to carry a power of attorney with you if you are not the car owner. A sticker containing the car plate number will be affixed to your passport in connection with the entry stamp. In the past, the International Insurance Card was not valid for Georgia, purchasing insurance at the entry point was necessary (even though the amount covered to be ridiculously low). Note that only the driver may enter the control area with the car, anyone else in the car has to use the pedestrians' lane.
Traffic laws are now strictly enforced?one of Mikheil Saakashvili's first steps as president was to disband the uncorruptably corrupt traffic police. Norms are strictly observed, in the cities and on the highways throughout the country. The most important norm to be aware of is that passing occurs in the middle of the road, and cars on both lanes are expected to move to the outside of their own lane to make this as safe as possible. Awful road conditions and lack of Wi-Fi coverage are now the thing of the past; the government here is serious about developing first-class infrastructure and communications. Driving here is surprisingly unstressful, and is a great way to tour the country. It is safe to leave your car unlocked, as the crime rate in Georgia is one of the lowest in Europe.
