Heatwave Alert!
Tips for Safe Driving During a Heatwave

Heatwave in Maharashtra

As temperatures soar past 42 degrees Celsius in parts of India, the risk to motorists increases significantly.

High heat can lead to engine overheating, tire bursts, vehicle fires, and even potential explosions in electric vehicle batteries. Notably, incidents like tire bursts and vehicle fires have surged on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

To keep safe on the roads when it's really hot, it's important to do a few checks on your car before you set off. Make sure you:

  • Look at the coolant to keep your engine from overheating.
  • Check the air in your tires, as they can be affected by heat.
  • Test your battery to prevent breakdowns.

And don't forget to check the weather forecast for high temperatures in your area or along the route you'll be driving.

What you must do!

It's also vital to stay informed about traffic updates and avoid long trips during peak heat hours.

Planning your travel and taking these precautions can help mitigate the dangers of driving in a heatwave.
