Warning ⚠️

Carbon Monoxide

As winter sets in Botswana, we want to remind everyone of the potential dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. With the cold weather, many people may resort to using vehicle heaters in enclosed spaces, which can be deadly.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can build up quickly in enclosed spaces. When vehicle heaters are used in garages, homes, or other enclosed areas with poor ventilation, carbon monoxide can accumulate to toxic levels, causing headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even death.

Stay safe, never use vehicle heaters in enclosed spaces with windows and doors closed. Ensure good ventilation when using heaters, and never leave a running vehicle in an enclosed space. It's also crucial to install carbon monoxide detectors in your homes and ensure they are functioning properly. Be aware of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and seek medical attention immediately if you or someone you know is experiencing them.

Let's take precautions to protect ourselves and our loved ones from carbon monoxide poisoning. Stay safe, and stay informed.

DO NOT OVERTAKE IN THE FOLLOWING PLACES

1) ON A BRIDGE: Avoid overtaking on bridges, bridges are dangerous places to overtake as you don't have other places to go than inside water or collide with opposing cars if other cars suddenly appear as you try to overtake.

2) ON A BEND: When there is a bend, please don't overtake no matter how clear you think the road is,it is very dangerous as you can't see the front, another car may be coming.

3) ON A MOUNTAIN: like in a bend, mountains, hills are wrong places to overtake you can't see the front clearly and you may not be able to speed enough to overtake and avoid colliding with traffic from the opposite direction.

4) SHARP SLOPES: It is also dangerous to overtake as your brake system may not work the way you
5 WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE THE FRONT CLEARLY: If you cannot see the front clearly for any reason please don't overtake.

6) WHEN IT IS RAINING: When it rains heavily don't overtake because the road may be slippery and your visibility is low.

7) WHEN YOU ARE FOLLOWING CONVOY OF FAST MOVING CARS: Avoid overtaking fast moving cars in convoy it will be dangerous to do that.

😎 WHEN THE ROAD IS TOO NARROW: some roads are too narrow to take two vehicles at the same time, avoid overtaking in these kinds of roads.

9) WHEN THE ROAD IS SLIPPERY: Rain, water, Slipped oil, swampy areas are known to be slippery, be cautious about overtaking in these kinds of areas.

10) AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS: Avoid overtaking aggressive drivers. These are drivers who increase their speed whenever you try to overtake them so as to prevent you from overtaking. These kinds of drivers sees the road as a race track, they are dangerous drivers and can easily cause road mishap.

For your safety and that of others, avoid overtaking these kind of drivers, you don't need to prove you are faster or better than him, please don't race to the Cemetery.

11)WHEN YOU CAN'T CLEARLY SEE A VEHICLE COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION : Don't assume the car is far, your judgement may be totally wrong, many people got to the grave before they realize their mistakes. It is safer not to overtake when the oncoming car is already in view, please be careful.

12) WHEN DRIVING IN THE NIGHT: Driving in the night involves great caution and carefulness, if you cannot see clearly please don't overtake, if you don't have good eyesight don't drive in the night at all, if you must do it, drive with all carefulness.

When Is a Tyre Legally Considered Worn Out?

Tread Wear Indicators (TWI)

Every tyre has built-in Tread Wear Indicators (TWI) — small raised bars located across the main grooves of the tyre tread. You can locate them by looking for the letters “TWI” marked on the tyre’s sidewall.

These indicators help you quickly check tread wear. When the tyre’s tread surface becomes level with these raised bars, it means the tread depth has worn down to 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) — the minimum legal limit in most regions.

Legal Regulation on Tread Wear

According to tyre safety regulations, once the tread depth reaches 1.6 mm, the tyre is legally worn out and must be replaced. Continuing to drive on tyres below this limit not only breaches road safety laws but also significantly reduces traction, especially on wet roads, increasing the risk of skidding or hydroplaning.

Good morning
Kindly wear your safety belt
It also has health benefits 🫣
