What to look out for when hiring a car in South Africa. <\/strong>If you are planning to rent a car in South Africa to explore the country independently, the following traffic rules are important. In South Africa, driving is on the left-hand side of the road, which means overtaking is done on the right. The maximum speed limit within built-up areas is 60 km\/h, outside built-up areas it is 100 km\/h, and on motorways it is 120 km\/h. The maximum permitted blood alcohol content is 0.5%.<\/p>\n

At intersections, extra caution is required as there are no general right-of-way rules in South Africa. At intersections, signs often indicate who has priority. If there are no priority signs, you must pay very close attention when crossing an intersection.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it is not advisable to drive through cities in the dark if you do not know the way. Lock your doors while driving, do not pick up hitchhikers, and do not stop if people try to flag you down for information, for example. These safety measures obviously do not only apply in South Africa but actually apply in every country.<\/p>\n
