As temperatures climb, maintaining your car and performing timely inspections has become crucial for safety.
One of the most important inspections is checking your vehicle’s tyres. Issues like heat pressure, overloading, damage, improper inflation, and tyre age can lead to tyre blowouts.
To help residents ensure their tyres are in good condition, the Ajman Transport Authority is offering free tyre inspections. This initiative will run until September 1, 2024. Residents and citizens of the UAE can take advantage of this campaign to have their tyres checked at no cost.
The Ajman Transport Authority has also shared some tips to help protect your tyres:
- Avoid Frequent Stops and Sudden Acceleration: These actions can increase tyre wear and tear.
- Ensure Proper Tyre Rotation: Regular rotation helps maintain even tyre wear.
- Avoid Impacts: Keep tyres away from potholes and other road hazards.
- Drive Short Distances Regularly: Driving your vehicle for short trips at least once every two weeks helps keep tyres in good shape.
- Maintain Recommended Tyre Pressure: Always check and adjust tyre pressure according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
In addition, Dubai Police have issued safety guidelines to help motorists stay safe:
- Ensure Tyre Validity: Check for any vibrations and make sure tyres are free from cracks and bulges.
- Regular Oil Changes: Change engine oil periodically to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
- Check for Fluid Leaks: Regularly inspect your vehicle for any fluid leaks.
- Schedule Regular Vehicle Check-Ups: Routine inspections can prevent accidents and ensure your vehicle is roadworthy.
By following these tips and taking advantage of the free tyre inspection campaign, you can help ensure a safer driving experience during the hot summer months.
