THERE is more road carnage during holidays than any other selected period of the calendar year and by virtue of being the longest festive period, December is crucial. As such, B-Metro gives you dear reader, driving tips.
Service your car a�� a must
Replace worn tyres, replace constant velocity (CV) joints, suspension bushes, tie rods, rack ends. Go for alignment and camber adjustment.
To avoid common highway breakdowns, check your battery, check your belts, check your lights, check your indicators.
Most of all: check your spare tyre.
Do not overload your car
Every adult you carry must be seated and belted.
No standing children a�� especially those that like to stand children behind the dashboard a�� he/she will be severely injured even in a 30kph accident.
Do not speed/ compete with other drivers
Give way even when you have right of way.
The first rule of the road is also the one that will ensure you arrive alive.
Dona��t overtake in a herd a�� a common habit. For rough roads
For those going to extreme ends of the country, purchase simple puncture repair kits and mini compressors (a small investment of less than 5k) to avoid spending hours in dangerous and unfamiliar places. .
