    Staying safe on the roads requires you’re undivided attention. Any lapses in concentration or recklessness can lead to serious accidents that could endanger you and the drivers around you.
    If you get into an accident, not only will your insurance premiums go up, you could also have to deal with legal proceedings. If you live in the UK, law firms like Sintons have a dedicated team of personal injury lawyers that can advise you during this difficult period.


    However, it’s not just you’re driving habits that could contribute to an accident.  There are a number of cars that are renowned for being unsafe. The Dodge Ram 1500’s safety rating has been less than impressive over the years. After tests were carried out by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the car received a ‘poor’ rating for its ability to protect heads and left legs, and also received failing marks during frontal offset tests. Head over to 24/7 Wall Street to learn more about the most dangerous cars in America.
    Regardless of what car you drive, there are a number of ways you can become a better driver. These three tips will help you stay safe on the roads.

    Presume every driver is incompetent
    Even if you are the most vigilant driver in the world, if you’re not looking out for the potential hazards caused by others, you could still get into an accident. As you’re obeying the rules of the road, keep a constant eye out for drivers who may be breaking those rules.
    Be particularly careful around fast-moving vehicles that could cause you problems if they break suddenly or get too close to you. Always keep to the recommended stopping distances and keep your eyes peeled for cyclists and pedestrians that could cause potential accidents.

    Keep control of your ego
    The thrill of driving can go to a lot of people heads when they sit behind the while. Before going on a drive, take your ego out of the equation and keep your speeds within the legal limit. You aren’t Vin Diesel in Fast and the Furious, so don’t partake in any reckless racing! These pictures we recently published of a wrecked Aston Martin Rapide should stamp out any thrill seeking tendencies you may have.

    Stay focussed
    When you’re on the road, don’t let yourself get pre-occupied by the radio, your phone or the conversation happening in the back seat. All of these are distractions that take your attention away from the road and could lead to an accident. Keep your eyes open and remain aware of your surroundings, so you can react quickly to changing road scenarios.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
