Road Safety

Road Safety

Date: 2016-05-06
Drivers face a myriad of obstacles on the roads nowadays, many of which are self-imposed (eg, cell phones, media systems and TV monitors). However, as we are now going into winter, one of the more unavoidable hazards that motorists are going to face as our days get shorter, and nights get longer, is that more and more drivers will be driving into the sun either on their way to work, or back home in the evening. A statement from the Automobile Association of South Africa: "Driving with a glare makes it much harder to see the road ahead, and to notice potential hazards. In these conditions we urge drivers to exercise extra caution, especially in areas with high foot traffic such as schools, bus stops, and road crossings," I would just like to urge drivers to use the necessary precaution when driving in these conditions, as we all want to get where we are going safely, and sometimes all it takes is a little patience and planning. For tips on how to avoid the glare, go check out our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/TheBugleMag
