When pulling away, release the clutch gently while you slowly accelerate. Allow the car to gradually pick up speed. Before cornering, take your foot off the accelerator. While taking the corner, slowly but firmly accelerate around it.
Don’t allow the engine to labour. Change to a lower gear and keep your revs steady.
Overtake on a flat or slight uphill gradient only. Give yourself sufficient time to safely overtake and return to the correct lane. It is very dangerous to return to the correct lane too early. Leave a 50m gap between yourself and the car in front so that traffic may flow more freely.
Try travelling downhill against the engine’s compression. Don’t travel too fast up the hill and try not to decrease your speed on the way down, this will set up a sway.
Keep calm, steer in a straight line while decreasing your speed. In this situation use controlled braking. Do not brake too hard (this will create a whiplash effect) or steer in the sway’s direction. Keep steering straight while slowly decreasing speed. Most importantly don’t accelerate too fast. Remember that fitting a reputable SABS approved towbar is the safe and smart choice before travelling or towing.
