Driving generates the most pollution. Burning fuel - or any other fossil fuel - releases pollutants that cause smog, global warming and water pollution. Getting regular tune-ups, maintenance: Having clean air filters will help you burn less fuel, pollute less, and prevent car trouble down the line. Pump up your tyres: if every tire were properly inflated we could save around 10 billion litres of fuel each year.
Road safety is a serious concern in South Africa. Policies that improve road safety, such as enforcing speed limits, scrapping older vehicles, and improving vehicle maintenance could help reduce green house gas emissions.
