南非的汽车燃油消耗按升计算,路上要经常查看油表数,以免燃油耗尽在路上抛锚。南非各种型号的汽油都有,包括无铅汽油和铅置换汽油97,95号或93号(通常被称为“高级”或“超级” 汽油),95号和93号汽油可在高海拔地区使用,95号和97号汽油则更适合海岸地区,从汽车租赁公司租到的大部分汽车一般使用无铅汽油。加油站大多是24小时开放,有服务生给车加油,支付油费可以用现金或是信用卡、借记卡。
Petrol consumption is calculated by liters in South Africa, so you should check the petrol gauge frequently on the road to avoid running out of gas. There are a variety of petrol supplies, including unleaded petrol, 97#, 95# and 93#, among which, 95# and 93# are usually used for driving in high-altitude areas; 95# and 97# are suitable for driving along coastal areas. Cars from rental companies mostly use un-leaded petrol. Many gasoline stations are open for 24 hours with service staff, while cash and all major credit/debit cards are accepted for payment.
南非各大中心城市之间的许多国家公路都是收费公路,轻型客车的收费标准在10兰特到200兰特之间不等。在豪登省,可以注册一个e-toll账户,通过e-toll计费,省去了许多缴费、找钱的麻烦。
There is toll charge for driving on many national highways between major cities in South Africa, priced from 10-200 Rands. You can register for an e-toll account in Gauteng Province, a much faster and convenient way to travel.
特别提示
Special notes
南非对酒后驾车有着严格的规定,血液中的酒精含量最大不能超过0.05%,开车不喝酒、喝酒不开车,为了你的安全,一定要严格遵守喔。
Do not drive after drinking alcohol! Blood alcohol content cannot exceed 0.05%. Again, no alcohol when driving. Safety always comes first!
途经农村地区时,因为道路没有围栏,所以一定要多多注意突然出现在路上的动物,比如狗、鸡、羊、马,在一些地方甚至会有河马、牛等,尤其在晚间,可能会更加危险。如果你看到路标显示一只跳跃的羚羊,更要减速慢行,可能会碰到大羚羊过马路的情况。行车路上碰到野生动物,一定不要停车喂食,不仅危险更会被重罚喔。
When passing through rural areas, pay attention to animals that may suddenly appear on the roads without safety barriers, such as dogs, chickens, sheep, horses, and in some places Hippopotamus or cows, especially at night. Slow down when you see a sign with a jumping antelope, which means you may come across an antelope passing the road. Also, do not stop the car to feed the wild animals if you encounter any, as it is very dangerous and you will be fined a serious amount of money for doing so.
