Navigating Ramadan Bazaars: How RSA Supports Singapore Drivers | MyMechanic

The Unique Challenges of Ramadan Bazaar Outings

Ramadan bazaars, while wonderful, are often located in areas that become incredibly congested. Think narrow roads, throngs of pedestrians, and parking that can best be described as 'creative.' This environment puts extra strain on your vehicle and can lead to unexpected issues.

  • Stop-and-Go Traffic: Prolonged idling and frequent braking can cause engines to overheat, especially in older cars or during warmer weather.
  • Battery Drain: Constantly starting and stopping, using air conditioning while idling, and perhaps leaving interior lights on can quickly deplete your car's battery.
  • Tight Parking & Minor Bumps: Squeezing into tight spots or navigating crowded makeshift parking areas increases the risk of minor scrapes, dings, or even getting blocked in.
  • Overlooked Issues: Small problems that might go unnoticed on a regular drive can quickly escalate into a breakdown when your car is under the stress of bazaar traffic.

          Quick Tips for a Smooth Bazaar Trip

          • Check Your Battery: Before heading out, especially if your car is older, ensure your battery is in good health. Frequent short trips and idling can wear it down.
          • Monitor Temperature: In heavy traffic, keep an eye on your engine temperature gauge. If it rises, turn off your AC and open windows to reduce engine load.
          • Park Smart: If possible, park a little further away in a less congested area and enjoy a short walk. It's often less stressful and safer for your car.
          • Save Our Number: Keep MyMechanic's contact details handy. Better yet, save our WhatsApp number for easy communication.
          • Stay Hydrated: Waiting for assistance can be warm. Keep some water in your car, especially if traveling with family.
