WINTER-PROOF YOUR CAR AND DRIVE WITH CARE

June 25, 2025

|

Athlone News

Before you hit the road this holiday season, make sure your vehicle is ready for winter conditions. Check your tires, battery, lights, antifreeze, and wipers.

AS WE APPROACH THE YOUTH DAY long weekend and school closure for winter, the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) is undertaking a road safety awareness drive to conscientize young people about measures they can take to protect their lives while using the roads.

Road fatalities during the youth month in the past four years averaged a total of 1044 every year. June 2021 road fatalities were recorded at 902, whereas June 2022 fatalities went down to 873. In 2023 June fatalities went down to 833, and 2024 June recorded 923 road fatalities. Trends in South Africa indicate that young people between the ages of 20 and 39 constitute more than half of the people who die on the roads daily as result of road crashes.

The most common type of crash relates to accidents with pedestrians, hit and run type of accidents and single vehicle overturn and head on collisions. This we want to change drastically.
