FEMALE motorists are being offered some top advice on how to stay safe this winter Newport Mazda, based on the Leeway industrial Estate firmly believes that the risks to lone females can be minimised this winter by following some simple advice.
Now is the right time to think about servicing your car. Get the tread on your tyres checked and brakes, headlights and all fluids also need checking.
Silver SetWhen parking your car choose a well lit busy street and try to look for car parks which display the logo of the ACPO secured car parks scheme.
Make sure you have the essential winter driving kit - torch, anti freeze and a mobile phone. Always carry lock de-icer in your Damier azur Handbags handbag for cold mornings.
In the event of a breakdown, never hitch a lift. Always pull onto the hard shoulder with your tyres facing the verge and your hazards on. If you are concerned about your safety sit in the passenger seat with the seat belt on and lock all the doors.
Newport Mazda will be providing workshops every Wednesday evening in November to teach women the basics of car maintenance. The workshops are completely free of charge and are open to everyone.
Adrian Evans, Managing Director of Newport Mazda offers practical advice for women driving alone: "We believe that when it comes to buying a car, peace of mind is always paramount.
People like to feel safe in their vehicle as they do in their homes.
"The motor maintenance course will be run by our technicians who will provide a basic knowledge of how the car works and teach simple maintenance skills such as checking fluids, changing a tyre, checking tyre pressure and filling the windscreen wipers."
For more information on the motor maintenance course contact Neil Bolton, on 01633 278641.
