Driving Advices for South Africa – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
If you need to travel in the evening, you should follow a number of precautions. Having got into the car, you should immediately lock all the doors and raise the glass in the windows. Do not close the windows completely. It is better to leave them a couple of centimeters open as this way the glass will be much harder to break than when fully closed.
Tourists, who plan to make long distance rides, are recommended to get a tire pumping spray can. The reason is that it is not safe to repair wheels on the road.
Local burglars often scatter sharp objects on deserted roads, hoping to "entrap" foreigners. If you were unlucky enough to puncture the tire, you should drive from that place as far as possible, quickly pump up the flat tire with the spray can and move on.
