When driving in unfamiliar territory, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the local traffic regulations. Here’s what you need to know to hit the road in Sorbas safely and soundly:

In Sorbas, you’ll have to stick to the right-hand side. When visiting someplace new, it’s always a good idea to opt for a car with automatic transmission. That way, you can focus on the road ahead and save worrying about gear changes.

Locating a car space in Sorbas should be relatively easy. Of course, it can depend on the time and place — it may be tricky parking in the very center during busy periods.

One terrific thing about road tripping around a smaller city is less traffic, so don’t stress too much about peak-hour gridlock. With a population of approximately 2,700, you can expect a smooth Sorbas driving experience.

There sure are. In Sorbas, speed limits range from 50km/h to 120km/h. Most built-up areas have a maximum speed limit of 50km/h unless otherwise indicated.

Normally, one of two things will happen. Your car rental company may bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the more common practice. Or it may forward your contact details to local authorities so the fine is issued directly to you.

It is prohibited to use your cell phone while driving a car in Sorbas, and you could even be charged a fine for just handling a phone if you’re in control of a vehicle. That being said, using hands-free or Bluetooth functions is permitted, as long as you keep your attention on the road.

In Sorbas, it’s a criminal offence to operate a vehicle with a BAC (blood alcohol content) of more than 0.05%. If you’re going to have a couple of drinks with lunch or dinner, it’s a good idea to leave your rental car at your hotel.

Turning on a red light is prohibited in Sorbas. Be on the lookout for traffic lights and signs to ensure you don’t breach any traffic laws.

They sure are. However, there are some exceptions for certain vehicles operated by public transportation systems.
