🚗🌍 Welcome to South Africa, Travelers! 🌍🚗

Planning to explore our beautiful country with a hired vehicle? Here are some essential driving rules and regulations to keep in mind for a safe and enjoyable adventure! 🛣️✨

Drive on the Left:
Remember, in South Africa, we drive on the left side of the road. Take some time to adjust if you're used to driving on the right!

Seat Belts Are a Must:
Always buckle up! It’s the law for all passengers, and it enhances your safety on the road.

Speed Limits:
Keep an eye on speed limits—generally, it's 60 km/h in urban areas and 100-120 km/h on highways. Speed cameras are common, so stay within the limits!

Alcohol Limit:
The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05%. We recommend not drinking and driving at all. Use a designated driver or rideshare service if you plan to enjoy the local nightlife.

Roundabouts:
Yield to traffic already in the roundabout. Enter when it’s safe, and use your indicators to signal your exit.

Wildlife Awareness:
If you're venturing into rural areas, watch out for animals crossing the road, especially at dawn or dusk.

Emergency Numbers:
In case of an emergency, dial 10111 for police and 10177 for ambulance services.

Enjoy your journey through South Africa’s stunning landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich culture. Drive safely and make unforgettable memories! 🚙💖
