What to know locally in North West
Truck and heavy-duty towing follows the platinum belt along the N4 from Brits through Mooinooi to Rustenburg, where ore trucks and mine fleet vehicles break down or need recovery. Car tows are common in Rustenburg's Waterfall and Tlhabane areas and in Potchefstroom. On the R512 and R511 near Hartbeespoort, weekend traffic leads to accident tows. Ask whether the operator has a heavy wrecker or only a rollback before you book.
North West on the road
North West mixes platinum mining, maize farming and weekend escapes from Gauteng. The N4 Platinum Highway runs from Pretoria past Brits and Rustenburg towards Zeerust and the Botswana border, and it carries ore trucks, mine buses and long distance freight. The N12 links Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp with Johannesburg, and the N14 heads west through Ventersdorp and Lichtenburg. Mine vehicles, farm bakkies and tractors on gravel roads, and weekend traffic to Hartbeespoort Dam and the Pilanesberg all add to the call outs. Summer brings hail and heavy storms, winter brings cold mornings and dust on dry roads. Long distances between towns mean many tows are charged by the kilometre, and trailers for cattle and machinery are common.
