Heatwave prompts Traffic Monitoring Center to urge drivers to exercise maximum caution
The National Traffic Safety Observatory has called on drivers to exercise caution amid rising temperatures to protect their safety and that of their vehicles. It recommended checking cooling water and engine oil levels, monitoring tire pressure, and ensuring the battery, cooling system, and brakes are in good condition to reduce the risk of breakdowns and explosions. It also warned against leaving flammable materials or electronic devices inside cars under direct sunlight and emphasized the importance of parking in shaded areas and using insulating covers. Additionally, it offered tips to enhance concentration while driving, such as drinking water regularly, avoiding driving during peak heat hours, not using the phone while driving, and wearing light-colored cotton clothing. The observatory also urged adherence to legal speed limits and maintaining a sufficient safety distance to reduce road accidents, as well as conducting regular checks of the cooling system and brakes, given how heat can affect equipment efficiency.
