DATSUN SAFETY TIPS
At CMH Datsun Midrand we strongly believe that Prevention is better than Cure – Fatigue, bad roads, extreme weather and driver error all contributes to South Africa’s accident rate (According to Arrive Alive South Africa). Poor visibility due to darkness or rainy conditions is a challenge the Datsun GO’s long-range headlamp eliminates. They provide a wider spread and longer reach for greater visibility in darker driving conditions.
With their uneven surfaces and any number of surprise potholes arising daily, South African roads leave much to be desired. The Datsun GO’s advanced suspension is specifically designed for these road conditions, providing greater stability over unpredictable surfaces. They say speed kills, but it is not the speed that kills, but rather a sudden stop – into another vehicle or object. The solution? To stop before a crash situation arises. The Datsun GO is equipped with ventilated disc brakes that allow it to come to a complete halt in just 33m from 100km/h, helping to better handle emergency situations in both city traffic, as well as on highways. With a staggering 20% of all accidents arising from sleepiness behind the wheel, driver fatigue and alertness is a major safety concern. The Datsun GO, luckily, comes prepped for such occasions with spinal support seats designed specifically to help reduce fatigue and aid driver alertness – diminishing the potential for accidents to occur.
HERE ARE TIPS TO ENSURE THAT YOU ALWAYS GO SAFELY:
- Give your car a regular safety inspection
- Do not drink and drive
