Police and the law

You are required to carry your passport at all times, although this is seldom asked for outside border areas. In the event of a vehicle accident in which anyone is injured, all drivers involved are usually detained until blame has been established, which may take several weeks.

Never offer to bribe a police officer; you don't know the rules so don't try to play the game. If an official suggests that a bribe must be paid before you can proceed on your way, be patient and they may relent. In general however, there are few hassles and most police are helpful to travellers.
