Driving in Seychelles
While driving in Seychelles, it is important to remember that the island has strict alcohol laws. Some restaurants even ask if you’re driving and make a note of it in your bill. However, you can still drive in Seychelles with a valid driving license. In addition, it’s a good idea to bring along your international driver’s license. This will allow you to speed up the process of random checkpoints and inspections.
While driving on the roads of Seychelles, you should know that the road conditions can be challenging. You’ll find steep gutters and mountainous terrain, as well as tight bends. To avoid getting stuck in the rain or having your vehicle stolen, make sure you drive slowly and avoid the many fast cars that cruise the roads. You should also keep your valuables hidden in your car. You should be able to park and unpark your car anywhere you want.
The roads in Seychelles are generally in good condition, but a few roads are not. For example, the roads in Mahe are hilly and steep, with no curbs. You’ll also be lucky to find street lighting in urban areas, but street lights are few in the rural parts. This means that driving at night is dangerous, as there are more pedestrians and animals on the road than cars. Minor car theft is an occasional problem, but this is not a problem unless you leave your valuables in your vehicle.
