The Festive Season is one of the busiest times on our roads, with thousands of people travelling to holiday destinations. Unfortunately, this increase in traffic often leads to an increase in road accidents, many of which can be prevented through responsible behaviour. Sasol would like to remind you that road safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Why Road Safety Matters

Every year, lives are lost due to speeding, fatigue, distracted driving, and alcohol-related incidents. These tragedies are avoidable. By making smart choices behind the wheel, you protect not only yourself but also your loved ones and other road users. For the safety of yourself and fellow road users, please take note of the following safety tips:

Plan Ahead

Before you hit the road, ensure your vehicle is in good condition. Check your brakes, tyres, lights, and fluid levels. Plan your route and allow extra time for delays, rushing leads to risky decisions.

Rest Before Driving

Fatigue is a silent killer. If you’re tired, postpone your trip or take regular breaks every two hours. Share the driving if possible.

Avoid Alcohol and Drugs

Drinking and driving is never worth the risk. Arrange a designated driver or use safe transport options. Remember: alcohol impairs judgment.

Buckle Up

Seatbelts save lives. Make sure everyone in the car is strapped in, no matter how short the trip.

Stay Alert

Put your phone away. No message or call is worth a life. Keep your focus on the road and anticipate the actions of other drivers.

Obey Speed Limits

Speeding reduces your reaction time and increases the severity of crashes. Slow down and enjoy the journey.
