 Louisa Robinson from Northamptonshire advises:
“When driving in South Africa remember to keep your doors locked and be alert at all times. When you stop at traffic lights, keep watching everything around you and be prepared to make your next move should someone try to smash a window. We go every year and we have never had a problem but it is always better to be aware.”
Graham Ross says:
“Never leave your car parked overnight in safari areas with fruit inside - the elephants will destroy your car to get to the fruit!” Andy Tomlinson from Yorkshire says:
“When driving in Cape Town, remember they drive on the same side of the road as in England. Watch out for the weavers who weave in and out of the traffic at speed. Drive carefully and don’t be intimidated. If approached at traffic lights (known locally as “robots”) by beggars and potential car jackers, I was advised to carry a rubber snake and watch their faces - they won’t bother you again!” Mr Lingerfelder from Hertfordshire advises:
“Be careful at the traffic lights as taxis don’t always stop on red” Mr Williams from Wiltshire advises:
“Always drive with the doors locked - ideally you should have a can of tyre inflating foam to get you out of trouble if you have a puncture. And do NOT give anyone a lift, no matter how desperate they seem.” |
