It’s the holiday season; time for parties, relaxing on the beach and kicking back anyway you know how. Unfortunately though, the holiday season tends to come with an increase in road accidents. Please join us in keeping our roads safe this holiday season.
Tips:
- Pull into a petrol station before you leave and have the attendant check your oil, water and tyre pressure
- Use a hands-free kit to make and receive cell phone calls while driving.
- Take frequent breaks!
- Buckle up, that includes the kids in the back seats.
- This one should be a no-brainer but it still happens, please dont drink and drive.
- Keep to the speed limit, especially on Van Reenens pass.
- Be patient if there are road works on the highways, we know how irritating they can be.
- Take a little longer to get there safe (deep breath)
- Share the driving on very long trips
- If you are driving alone, play some upbeat music to keep you wide awake
