In South Africa, you can enjoy the natural beauty in a beautiful car by car. South Africa has an excellent road network and almost all destinations are easily accessible by car.
We recommend you keep your trips 400 km / day to avoid fatigue.
It is important to note that in South Africa all vehicles are driven to the left of the road. So here are some of the leading tips:
Four Way Stop:
If you are the only vehicle that is approaching the stop, stop and make sure it.
If you already have another vehicle at the stop, you have the right.
If you stop the machine at the same time as another vehicle, then the court of first instance will use it and the vehicle can first move forward.
Always make sure your vehicle stops completely before proceeding.
Procedure on the traffic light:
If the lamp is green, you can resume it. It is always advisable to slow down a green light and check the oncoming traffic.
Turns to the right and the light is green, approaching traffic is correct. Wait for the upcoming traffic before continuing.
Turning to the left and green green, you can resume it.
If the traffic light turns yellow, it slows down and stops.
Recognition of Arrow Keys on Traffic Light:
The blinking green arrow indicates that you can turn in the specified direction.
A blinking red arrow on the left indicates that you can turn off when no other traffic is approaching.
A persistent red or green arrow indicates that you can be careful.
If the traffic lights are off, please handle the intersection as a four-way stop.
Approaching the traffic circle:
Always turn right in a traffic circle.
Vehicles already in circulation and on-road vehicles on the right are entitled to the voyage.
Use caution only after each right-hand drive has passed.
Keep in mind that vehicles already covered are entitled.
Parking:
It is forbidden to park a vehicle on a road approaching traffic. Fuel prices:
Fuel prices rise on the first Wednesday of each month, often down. Fuel prices rose by 25% over one month – to get an idea of possible inflation. Gasoline was essentially $ 0.40 per liter; lately USD 0.82 / l. However, in ZAR, the fuel price currently (7 March 2007) is in R5.99 / L. In June 1999 the price was R2.23.
This is equivalent to an average annual increase of 13.9% a year! This is the minimum real inflation, not 5.6% of the government. If inflation is actually 5-6%, then why did government forecast the government revenue forecast by 12% in 2005/6 / 7Budget in February?
Zimbabwe is now cheaper than SA if you can get it as they get from us and do not pay atrophic charges – it's a battle that both diesel and gas bar. Zambia is about 10% more than SA.
Driver Permissions:
You do not need an international license if you are staying for less than 1 year. All you need is a document that can be identified as a license. You always have to give your license at all times as long as you drive, no matter how much you make a fine.
Please note the following because we can not over-emphasize: 1. Long distance driving at night. There is an incredibly large number of drunk people who are astonished in the cities and cause an accident.
2. Depending on the region, goats and cows are famous for roads where there are no street lights.
3. Observe the broken glasses that are waiting for the red flag on hold. This means that a window has been deleted to steal the purse / handbag from the front or the dashboard. When you park your car in your accommodation, make sure you are in the parking lot, before the hostel's parking is not good enough.
Visas:
It is recommended that you determine your visa requirements before traveling. South African neighbors, including Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho, Mozambique and Zimbabwe all have unique visa controls. It is best to consult the Consulate of each country on your visa requirements before you travel.
Have fun in South Africa.
