Vehicles and driving in Bloemfontein

Bloemfontein, the judicial capital, sits at the crossroads of the N1 and N8 in the middle of the country, making it a natural stopover for trucks, buses and travellers covering long distances. Charging faults and lighting failures discovered on the open road often end up being fixed here. The Highveld climate brings hot summers and cold, frosty winters, so batteries that survive the heat frequently fail on the first freezing mornings. Surrounding maize, sunflower and cattle farms rely on bakkies and tractors, and holidaymakers towing caravans between Gauteng and the coast pass through in large numbers during school holidays.
