How good are the roads in South Africa?
South Africa ranked 34 out of 137 countries across the globe for road quality in 2019. On a scale of 1 to 7, South Africa received a road quality score of 5. Keep in mind that road quality conditions in South Africa can vary depending on what area of the country you plan to visit.

The BAC limit is 0.05% in South Africa - this applies to both visitors and residents. Your BAC level is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in your bloodstream. This information is used to determine how inebriated an individual is. Driving a vehicle with a BAC higher than 0.05% is against the law in South Africa and you will be deemed as ‘driving under the influence’. Keep in mind that there are stricter penalties for those who drink-drive and are under the legal drinking age. In South Africa, you must be at least 18 to drink.

Last week, the price of petrol in South Africa was ₹ 101 per litre on average. This is subject to change based the city you visit, time of year, and the country’s current economy. If you’re looking to hire a car on a budget, consider a country with lower fuel prices such as Kuwait which has an average price of ₹ 29 per litre. Hong Kong is another great country to visit if you aren’t worried about petrol prices, which tend to be around ₹ 305 per litre as of last week.
