The holidays are a time for joyful reunions, and for many South Africans, that means hitting the road to visit family and friends. But as Minister of Transport, Barbara Creecy, recently emphasized, road safety demands our attention, especially with the concerning statistic of over 10,000 lives lost on our roads this year. Let’s make this festive season a time of safe arrivals, not tragic headlines.
Think SMART, Arrive Safe:
Before you set off on your holiday journey, remember the SMART approach to road safety:
- Serviced Vehicle: A quick check of your tires, brakes, and lights can prevent major problems down the road.
- Mapped Route: Planning your route avoids last-minute detours and reduces the temptation to speed.
- Alert Driver: Stay hydrated, avoid distractions, and take regular breaks to combat driver fatigue.
- Responsible Choices: Never drink and drive. Arrange alternative transport if you plan to celebrate with alcohol.
- Traffic Laws: Respect speed limits, traffic signals, and always wear your seatbelt.
