You will find that some drivers in Morocco drive with far less caution than you may be used to in your own country, so extra care should be taken, especially in built up areas where you will be in close proximity to other vehicles. Allow plenty of space between vehicles, and always be aware of other motorists around you.
Care should be taken when driving on rural roads as these are generally narrower and may sometimes be in a poor state of repair with lots of potholes and bumps.
