Vehicles and driving in Potchefstroom

Potchefstroom is a university town on the Mooi River and the N12, home to a large campus of North-West University and an important military base. Students driving older cars regularly need battery, starter and alternator work, while the military and government run their own vehicle fleets. The surrounding farmland grows maize, sunflower and other crops, so tractors and bakkies are essential, especially at planting and harvest time. Visitors also travel to the Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site nearby. Frosty winter mornings regularly expose ageing batteries, and dusty farm roads in the dry season wear on lights and connectors.
