    No one wants to be in a car wreck. It’s emotionally draining, you could be physically hurt and the procedures you go through afterwards can feel like they take forever. There are forms to fill, questions to answer and a lot of people to speak to. A car accident could ruin an otherwise productive and useful week and you have to reschedule your plans to fit around dealing with the aftermath.

    Most drivers that spend quite a bit of time on the road are likely to be involved in one accident in their lives. It doesn’t matter how safe you drive or how safe your car is, something will always crop up and you’ll be involved in an accident that could be minor or devastating. It could be the driver behind you that slams into the back of your car because they’re not looking, or perhaps someone decided to speed through a red light and ended up colliding into you as you made a turn. Either way, it’s a stressful time.

    To help you overcome that stressful moment in your life, here are some tips on what to do if you’re ever involved in an auto accident.

    Stay at the Scene

    You don’t want to ever leave the scene even if it’s just a minor crash. Always remain calm and stay on the scene so that it doesn’t look like you’ve just done a hit and run, even if no one was injured and the damage to the cars is minor.

    Regardless of the state of the car crash, you have to stay put. You need to speak with other parties involved, exchange phone numbers and insurance information and also report it to the local authorities. You’ll have to contact an auto accident lawyer if you feel that the accident wasn’t your fault, or if the other parties are being aggressive against you.

    Remain Calm

    A crash is a stressful time—everyone knows that. If you’re injured then you’ll be swearing and cursing the other party, but you have to keep your spirits high and try your best to remain focused during this stressful time. If you or anyone else is injured as a result of the crash, contact medical services immediately and get someone on the scene as soon as possible.

    If an argument breaks out, then intervene and try to keep everyone calm so that an accident doesn’t elevate to assault. Make sure to alert the local authorities of any attempted assaults when they arrive as well.

    Seek Help After the Crash

    A crash can cause long-lasting issues that, if they aren’t dealt with quickly, can develop into serious conditions that are related to stress. Some injuries won’t show until a couple of days after the crash, such as damage to muscles and joints. If you have long-term illnesses and conditions, they may flare up after a crash due to the increased stress.

    Of course, you also need to contact lawyers, insurance companies and also your boss so that they know you’ve been in a crash so you can request a couple of days off to get everything sorted before you return.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
