Vehicles and driving in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg, the provincial capital, lies in a bowl beside the N3 and is a key stop for trucks on the busy Durban to Johannesburg freight route. The climb out of the city up Town Hill is steep and long, so overheating fans and struggling alternators are common faults on heavily loaded vehicles. Winters are cold and frosty in the valley, while summers bring thunderstorms that test wiring and lighting seals. The surrounding Midlands has dairy farms, timber plantations and sugar cane, keeping farm bakkies and logging trucks busy. Government fleets, taxis and the city's students also add to demand for reliable auto electrical work.
