Happy Easter to all our members and the wider community. Wishing you all a wonderful Easter, spending time with loved ones. Please drive safely on the roads, always slow down, and remember there’s no rush. Reaching the destination safely is the best reward for every motorist! Let us be kind and courteous to our fellow road users and remember that road safety is a team activity – let us help each other to ease the frustrations of heavy traffic, and help and allow everyone to arrive alive at their destinations.
Apart from keeping your vehicle in good mechanical condition, checking that the tyres (including the spare tyre) are in good shape and that all windscreen wipers are working, we also offer the following tips for travellers who may be on the road this Easter period:
• Drink or drive.
• Text or drive.
• Rest before you travel. Do not drive if you are tired. Stop every two hours or 200 kilometres to stretch and get fresh air.
• Do not use electronic devices while driving. Use cell phones only when needed in an emergency.
• Ensure everyone in the vehicle wears a seatbelt (front and back).
• Drive according to the conditions of the road. The indicated speed limit is not a target.
• Do not overtake when it is unsafe to do so, and respect and obey the road markings which indicate when you may or may not pass other vehicles.
• If you are a cyclist, riding a motorbike or a pedestrian, make yourself visible and ensure your protective clothing is in good condition.
• Ride and walk where it is safe to do so.
• Respect traffic law enforcement, they are there to ensure your and other road users’ safety.
Enjoy your drive and arrive safely at your destination. We also encourage travellers to make the journey part of their vacation by getting off the main roads and exploring Zimbabwe.
