Check your lights
TODAY the lights on many new cars automatically come on when the car is started.
This is a safety feature which cannot be denied.
In older cars we must learn to follow this safety practice.
With the introduction of metallic and reflective colours, many vehicles disappear into the bitumen, and this has caused frequent head on collisions.
Lights on and being seen reduces these situations and makes our roads safer.
Drivers are often the cause of all road incidents in some way, therefore any and all means possible need to be used to prevent collisions.
How safe are you?
When did you last check that all your lights were working correctly?
This includes brake lights, indicators, tail lights, head lights and parking lights.
Cars are designed for particular tyres with particular tyre pressures to operate safely.
Do you know the correct pressure for your tyres and when did you last check them?
Safety on our roads begins and ends with YOU - the driver.
Your attention to your car will save an injury and possibly a life.
‘Be alert – be aware – be safe.’
