Make sure to always give way to the right at roundabouts and proceed with caution. When driving in zones that have high levels of pedestrian activity then expect a speed limit of 40kmh (25mph) or in rural areas a maximum of 100kmh (62mph.) A passenger must always drive appropriately and drive at a speed that is appropriate with the road conditions as the limit of speed is not always signposted.
