The Easter holidays in April represent one of the busiest times on Namibian roads when there is a much higher risk of accidents. Ensuring your vehicle and its tyres are in roadworthy condition is one of the first steps to make sure you and yours have a safe and smooth journey.

Tyres are the most important safety component on your car – whether it’s a modern performance vehicle with the latest driver assistance technologies, a workhorse for your business, or an older car that lacks features such as ABS and electronic stability control. As the only point of contact between the car and the road, tyres have a critical role to play in keeping your vehicle safely on the road in all weather conditions.

Planning ahead and responsible driving behaviour are equally crucial, as a lack of patience, recklessness and driver fatigue are major contributing factors to Namibia’s tragically high accident rates and death toll. Sadly, this country ranks amongst the highest in the world in terms of the number of car crashes per capita. 

Continental is committed to improving driving safety, firstly by developing and producing cutting-edge tyres that provide exceptional grip and braking performance, especially in wet conditions. The German tyre manufacturer is also involved in numerous initiatives to create awareness and education amongst motorists to improve road safety.

Continental also develops pioneering technologies and services for sustainable and connected mobility of people and their goods.
