Muscat: Towell Auto Centre (TAC) & Bridgestone Tyres have conducted a Tyre safety check campaign recently. The activity has been conducted in association With PDO & National Company for mineral water. The” Check your tyres before you head out” event was organized by the Al Soor volunteers from the Bahla Club at Al Sahwa Garden in Rusyl.
The campaign was open to public. TAC team conducted free check on vehicles tyres with a special emphasis on maintaining tyre pressure, while simultaneously educating the motorists on tyre condition, upkeep and safety. The entire event monitored by the ROP & received an overwhelming response with numerous owners of both private cars as well as commercial vehicles. “Keeping a regular check on the tyres not only significantly reduces the possibility of having accidents but it also has a positive impact on the life cycle of the tyres.” A tyre with the right quantity of air pressure also diminishes the rolling resistance of the vehicle, which in turn enhances fuel efficiency thereby leading to better mileage. Thus emphasizing on road safety, TAC was able to carry out another successful campaign with the PDO.
Through this campaign TAC could reach out to over 240 vehicle owners. Awareness leaflets were also handed over to all motorists at the venue which would work as a constant reminder of the need to keep a check on tyre safety. With a goal to take this campaign country-wide, TAC endeavors to increase the awareness amongst people in different places in Oman, including the interiors.
“With the onset of summer, keeping a check on the tyres is absolutely essential. It just takes a quick few minutes to ensure that the tyres are in good shape and if everyone makes it a habit, it will surely go a long way in not only keeping the driver safe but also other unsuspecting and innocent people on the road too” said Mr. Oommen John, AGM Bridgestone Tyre Division, TAC. “As a responsible motorist it is absolutely essential that we individually do our part to check our tyres before we drive out and also spread awareness and encourage our friends and family to do the same. Being ignorant of its repercussions can have grave consequences and should not be treated as an excuse to evade this simple responsibility. Oman roads have recorded a high number of fatal road accidents many of which were as a result of bad tyres. Through campaigns like these we endeavor to bring down the number of accidents and will continue to stay committed to the cause. We have been working with the PDO closely every year with PDO and ROP to promote awareness about tyre safety and also to educate the people on the simple protocols to follow as precautionary measures.”
