SOMETIMES BRAKES AREN'T ENOUGH... 😔 We get it

SOMETIMES BRAKES AREN'T ENOUGH... 😔

We get it – the temptation to kick back and relax during a long drive is real.

But here's a friendly PSA: Keep those feet off the dashboard when someone is behind the wheel!

In the unfortunate event of a sudden stop or a collision, having your feet on the dashboard can lead to serious injuries.

Airbags deploy with tremendous force, and your legs could take a direct hit, causing severe harm, as you can see in the X-ray above... 👀

Working brakes is only half of the battle won — the rest is up to you!

🎄READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS?🎄 No holiday is com

🎄READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS?🎄

No holiday is complete without an old-fashioned road trip!

Here are 5 best routes to explore South Africa's natural beauty.

🏔 Panorama Route:
This high-altitude adventure takes you through Mpumalanga’s Blyde River Canyon, the third-largest canyon in the world! The route features cliffs, waterfalls, forests, and several towns worth a stop, including historic Pilgrim’s Rest and Graskop.

🏖 The Garden Route:
Starting from Mossel Bay to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), this route meanders through South Africa’s lush Indian Ocean littoral. It offers access to hiking trails, surfing beaches, and the world’s largest commercial bridge bungee jump at Bloukrans Bridge.

🌾Midlands:
This route is known for its scenic beauty and the Midlands Meander Arts and Crafts route, which is one of the largest of its kind in South Africa.

🌳Robberg Nature Reserve:
Offering coastal hikes, shark sightings, and a braai (barbecue) with a view, the Robberg Nature Reserve is a stop worth hitting the brakes for!

🧗‍♂️St. Blaize cliffs:
The St. Blaize Trail is a popular 13.5 km (6 hour) hike that follows the 30-meter contour along the cliffs westwards from the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse. It begins at the cave below the Lighthouse and ends at Dana Bay. A great way to enjoy the stunning views of the Indian Ocean while keeping an eye out for local wildlife!

🛑STOP!🛑

You've got the brakes — now how do you use them?

Knowing how to properly conduct an emergency brake could possibly be the difference between life and death!

Here's how to do it:

Identify the Emergency:
Recognise the need for an emergency brake. This could be due to a sudden obstacle, a pedestrian in your path, or another unexpected hazard.

Stay Calm:
In an emergency situation, it's essential to remain calm and focused. Panicking can make the situation worse.

Brake Gradually:
Begin by firmly but smoothly applying the brake pedal with steady pressure. Avoid slamming on the brakes, as this can cause skidding.

Steer Straight:
Keep the steering wheel straight while braking. Avoid any sudden or sharp steering movements, as they can lead to loss of control.

Assess the Situation:
After stopping, assess the situation and surroundings. Ensure it's safe to proceed, and check for any other potential hazards.

Stay Alert:
Continue driving cautiously and stay alert for any additional threats or obstacles.

Remember that emergency braking should be used as a last resort.

Defensive driving practices, such as maintaining a safe following distance, anticipating potential hazards, and staying aware of your surroundings, can help you avoid the need for emergency braking in most situations.

Ever wondered how your car magically stops when you hit the brakes?

It's all thanks to the small but mighty BRAKE PAD!

When you press the brake pedal, they swing into action, pressing against the spinning brake rotor.

This simple move creates friction, which is the ultimate secret sauce to slow your speedy ride down! 🛑💨

So next time you stop on a dime, remember to give a nod to these unsung heroes.

They keep you safe, day in and day out. 🙌

And don't forget to have them checked out by the best of the best (that's us if you were wondering) from time to time. 😉

🚗Choosing the right brake pads for your vehicle

🚗Choosing the right brake pads for your vehicle is a crucial decision that can impact your driving experience, safety, and even your wallet. 🚗

Here's how to make the right choice for YOU:

Flip the page:
-Consult the owner's manual of your vehicle to find information about the recommended brake pad type, size, and specifications. This information may include the brake pad material, thickness, and any specific requirements for your vehicle.

Consider your driving style.
-Are you a daily commuter, an off-road enthusiast, or a speed freak? Your driving style can influence the type of brake pads you need.

How's the weather?
-Consider the environment and weather conditions, such as heavy rains, or if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, you may want to prioritise certain brake pad characteristics. For example, ceramic brake pads tend to perform well in wet conditions

Ask the Pros!
-When in doubt, consult your local Graaff Brakes branch for a FREE brake check and specialised attention to your vehicle's needs!

Remember, your brakes are more than just components – they're your trusty sidekicks on every journey, ensuring you can stop safely and smoothly.
