The heavy rains in many parts of the country, along with unpredictable and frequent rolling blackouts, are a perfect recipe for traffic madness, and motorists and pedestrians are urged to travel with caution
The AA says with unpredictable rolling blackouts continuing for the foreseeable future, and with the rain not letting up, motorists and pedestrians should follow a few simple rules. These include:
Focus on the road. Put your mobile phone away, and don’t do anything but drive and focus on the road. Being distracted is dangerous in any weather, but especially so when the roads are wet, and when there is low visibility. Do not attempt to cross low-lying bridges – even if you have crossed them in the past – as these may have deteriorated.
