They\u2019re the only part of your car in contact with the road &#8211; so keeping them in good condition is vital.<\/p>\n<p><em>Check your tyre pressure regularly<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is essential for safety, fuel efficiency and tyre longevity. Under-inflated tyres can cause poor handling and increase the risk of blowouts, while over-inflated tyres wear unevenly and reduce grip. Check your pressure at least once a fortnight and before long trips &#8211; always refer to your vehicle\u2019s recommended PSI (often found inside the driver\u2019s door or in the owner\u2019s manual).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44998 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/07\/239.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>SMART DRIVING = SAFER ROADS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even the best-maintained car can\u2019t protect against poor driving habits. Here are some behaviour-based safety tips every driver should practise:<\/p>\n<p><em>Keep a safe following distance<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tailgating is dangerous. In dry conditions, maintain at least a three car length gap between you and the car in front. Double that in wet or foggy weather.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay off the phone<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even hands-free calls can be distracting. Focus on the road and keep mobile use for emergencies only.<\/p>\n<p><em>Drive to conditions<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Slow down in rain, mist or heavy traffic &#8211; even if the speed limit says otherwise. Always drive according to conditions, not just the posted signs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Take breaks on long trips<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fatigue is a hidden danger. Take a break every two hours or so, and don\u2019t push through if you feel drowsy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>WET WEATHER DRIVING &#8211; DON\u2019T TAKE RISKS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rainy roads are slippery, and accidents are more common in wet weather. Reduce speed, increase following distance and avoid hard braking.<\/p>\n<p>Watch for hydroplaning &#8211; when tyres lose contact with the road surface due to water build-up. If it happens, ease off the accelerator and steer gently &#8211; don\u2019t brake or turn sharply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s nothing quite like the freedom of the open road &#8211; whether it\u2019s the school run, a weekend getaway or the daily commute.
