Sometimes when you're new to a country a task like getting your driver's license can make you feel like you're 16 years old again trying to pass your driver's test. Here's an overview of the process of getting your driver's license in Botswana. Foreigners who wish to drive in Botswana must have a valid international driving permit (IDP) along with their valid national driving license. The driving license must be in English or translated into English to be accepted. The IDP is valid for a year, after which the foreigner must obtain a local driving license. It's also important to note that in Botswana, driving is on the left-hand side of the road. There are no specific requirements that differ based on the city, state, or region in Botswana. The same rules apply throughout the country. However, it's recommended to be aware of local traffic rules and regulations, as they may vary slightly in different areas. Also, it's important to note that road conditions can be challenging in some rural areas, especially during the rainy season. Additionally, it's mandatory to have third-party insurance while driving in Botswana. Foreigners are also advised to carry identification documents, vehicle registration documents, and the emergency numbers at all times while driving. NATAD-movesentence
