    Want Your Child To Pass Their Driving Test? Read No Further

    Driving means freedom. Everybody knows it. Your child’s ability to drive makes their life, and indeed your life much easier. You can probably remember how nervous you were when you took the test and learnt to drive. There are varying ways in which you can help your children pass their tests, each parent will be better at different things so choose the one you think you can do best and give it a go. Before you know it, you won’t be playing anymore roadtrip games in your car, but theirs instead.

    Take Them Out In Your Car

    You need to have a certain mental toughness to help someone drive. Remember, their instructor has his own clutch and brake, so you need to take them out once they have been on the road a few times and know the basics otherwise your car may be left needing Auto Repair. If you think you’ll get super nervous, try taking them to somewhere like a business estate first where there won’t be any other cars around. Or, if there aren’t any near you, a car park. Doing this allows your child to get more time behind the wheel, they’ll need all of this experience to pass their test and giving them a helping hand at this stage could save you having to book repeat tests down the line. There are other methods of help if you don’t feel you have the nerves to do this.

    Revise With Them

    The theory test is another annoying part of learning to drive. Your child will have to remember various aspects of car maintenance and the green cross code. Sitting down with them and helping them revise and learn these questions can be the difference between passing and failure, and who knows, you may learn a thing or two yourself. There are many books and websites that can help them revise too, buying a cross section of these will build their confidence and help them pass.

    Show Them The Car’s Innards

    If you’re more of a hands on kind of person then you can show your child how a car actually works. At the beginning of their practical test there are usually asked one or two maintenance questions and knowing how the car works can greatly increase their confidence. Tell them about the fluids a car needs to run properly and how to add these fluids to the engine. Teaching them how to check tyre pressures, tread depth and how to fill the car with petrol are also vital skills that won’t just help them pass their test but be better drivers.

    Drive The Test Routes

    Knowing the ins and outs of a test route can really help your child pass their test. If they know the twists and turns inside out it can only be beneficial. Their driving instructor will do this, but if you drive them to, leaving the learner in the passenger seat they can take in everything the route has to offer. There are many differing routes so make sure you get the instructor’s best opinion of which it will be and drive it often.

    • 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.

    • 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.
