If you intend travelling out of the city during the Easter period, please make it a safe trip by driving carefully and ensuring that your vehicle is in a sound roadworthy condition.

Cape Town Traffic Services media spokesperson, Merle Lourens, says, free vehicle safety checks are offered at Gallows Hill Traffic Department, Bellville, Kuils River, Hillstar, Brackenfell, Goodwood and Durbanville from 10:00 to 14:00 from Monday, 06 April 2009 to 17 April 2009.

“The safety checks are not equal to a roadworthy certification. A percentage of road accidents are due to vehicle defects. Please make sure that regular checks, specifically the tyres and braking mechanisms, are done before taking on long distance travelling,” says Chief Inspector Merle Lourens.
