For all drivers, especially first time drivers planning to go up country and are planning to drive to the village this Christmas.

A car is very forgiving in city speeds and you will hardly notice any faults as the car will not be subjected to extreme physical conditions of highway speeds.

For this reason I will put down what is not taught in driving schools (nowadays):

1) Service your car — a must. Replace worn tyres, replace cv joints, suspension bushes, tie rod ends, rack ends.

Go for alignment and camber adjustment.

To avoid common highway breakdowns, check your battery, check your belts, check your lights, check your indicators. Most of all: check your spare tyre!!!!

2) Do not overload your car.

Every adult you carry must be seated and belted. No standing kids — especially those that like to stand kids behind the dashboard — he/she will be severely injured even in a 30kph accident.

3) Do not speed/compete with other drivers.

If there is something we can be sure of, it is that President Mnangagwa will surely get to the bottom of the rot.

There is no smoke without fire. Public entities caught up in corruption cases should straighten up or risk losing their their licences.

Lawyers and magistrates also risk being truck off the register; they need to pick a position and soon.

The time when corruption was condoned has long since passed.
