A driver must always make sure that they never exceed the maximum speed limit. On dual carriageways, a driver will find that the maximum speed limit is 110kmh (68mph.) Limits will also tend to change on other parts of the road that you’re driving on. Always drive at a safe limit according to the road conditions. The wheel of your hire vehicle will always be on the left-hand side of the car, meaning that a driver must always drive on the right-hand side of the road. When approaching roundabouts, always give way to the left and proceed with caution.
