Safe Driving Tips

If you are travelling alone, keep these in mind:

•    Be on the lookout for suspicious people before you leave or approach your car.

•    Always keep your car doors locked and the windows closed when driving and also when your car is parked.

•    Avoid isolated roads and using the same road over and over.

•    Keep your car keys and your house keys separate.

•    NEVER pick up hitchhikers.

•    Be aware of your surroundings when sitting in a stationary car.

•    Never leave firearms in your car.

•    When you are planning to work late, park your car as close to the exit as possible in a well-lit and secure area. Familiarise yourself with the night watchmen and the security staff.

•    Always have your cellphone handy and make sure that the battery is not running low.

•    Have your keys ready when you approach your vehicle. Do not start searching for them once you have already reached your car.

•    Service your car regularly and make sure that it is in good running order.

•    Always make sure that you have enough fuel in the tank. Running out of fuel places you at the mercy of passers-by.
