If you’re planning to travel this festive season, ensure your vehicle is road ready before, during and travelling back home.
Here are tips to help you along the way:
- Always obey the rules of the road.
- Don’t get behind the wheel when intoxicated.
- Wear seatbelts whether you’re a driver or a passenger in the front or back seats.
- Drive at the speed limit and at a safe following distance.
- Drive at a speed which will allow you time and space to respond to emergencies (i.e. another vehicle coming to a sudden stop in front of you).
- Do not assume safety – stay alert and avoid distraction.
- Do not assume others are driving safely – anticipate hazards and stay alert.
- Approach and proceed across intersections with caution – never forget to look both ways.
- Do not drive when you’re feeling tired and/or fatigued.
- Keep your vehicle in roadworthy condition.
- Only overtake when it is absolutely safe to do so.
- Share the roads responsibly and safely.
