Zimbabwe road rules covering rules for drivers and motorcyclists, 5 rules. Ready to test yourself? Try Rules for Drivers and Motorcyclists practice questions.
You must hold a valid Zimbabwean or other recognised driver's licence, and it must cover the class of vehicle you are driving.
Driving an unroadworthy vehicle is against the law, and a good number of collisions come down to a mechanical fault that a minute's attention would have caught. Have the vehicle inspected regularly, and use parts approved by a recognised standards body. The Vehicle Inspection Depots of the Ministry of Transport carry out a thorough inspection for a nominal fee.
Be certain you are fit before you drive. If you feel physically or mentally unfit, stay off the road, and do not take an unfit driver into complicated traffic to find out.
Tow only what your licence and your vehicle allow, and know the limits before you hitch anything up.
Wear a safety belt in any vehicle where one is fitted, and see that your passengers wear theirs. Belts are compulsory in cars registered on or after 1 January 1980, and the only exemption is a valid medical exemption certificate. Use belts approved by a recognised standards body, and make every adjustment before you drive off.
