The Christmas holidays are one of the busiest times on Australian roads. At Carbyne, we care about you and your family’s safety. Here are a few essential checks and reminders to help you stay safe this season:
North Queensland’s monsoon rains often lead to pothole-ridden roads. These can damage suspension, tyres, or even knock a wheel off. Drive cautiously and avoid potholes when possible. If you hit one, have your vehicle inspected.
Wet roads can become slippery due to oil build-up. Maintain safe distances and check that tyres are inflated properly—this improves fuel economy, safety, and road grip.
Long holiday drives can cause fatigue. Rest every 2 hours, and if possible, switch drivers. It’s safer to arrive late than not at all. Learn more tips on holiday driving from DriveRisk Australia.
Double-check your tow load or roof rack before travel. Ensure trailers and their indicators are working correctly.
Everyone must buckle up. Avoid using your phone while driving—wait for your next stop. No message is worth risking safety.
