    Everyone always dreams of owning a super fast car one day. Or, we all want to get our hands on a fast car just for a day or even a few hours. If you are lucky enough to either own a fast car or have a chance of driving one, you need to be cautious.

    Driving a fast car is a lot different to driving a regular one. There are different things to consider, and you have to approach it from another point of view. Bearing that in mind, here are a few tips to help you stay safe when driving a fast car.

    Be Careful When Overtaking

    The joy of driving a fast car is that you have a machine that’s capable of burning past almost every other car in sight. So, the temptation to overtake every car you’re stuck behind can be real. Our advice is to only overtake when you’re 100% certain nothing is coming the other way. Remember, your car is faster than a normal car. When you accelerate to overtake you may go a lot faster than you intended as you put your foot down how you would in a regular car. This means you could easily crash into an oncoming car that you thought was a safe distance away. It’s even more dangerous when you’re overtaking long trucks. They obscure your view, and you have more distance to overtake. Be extra careful, the last thing you want is to end up calling a truck accident lawyer because you got in an accident. Try and only overtake when you’re on a clear highway, and there’s 100% no traffic in sight.

    Stick To Highways

    Fast cars are built for one purpose and one purpose only; to be driven fast on long roads. Having said that, you should avoid driving your fast car around tight and niggly roads, particularly where there’s a lot of traffic. This is because your fast car changes gear very quickly. If you’re speeding up and changing through a couple of gears only to quickly have to change back down when the traffic stops, it can be dangerous. You could easily stall and make your car roll into the car in front or behind you. Stick to highways where you have lots of open space and the gear system can work properly.

    Always Slow Down On Bends

    When you have a fast car, you may be tempted to drive fast wherever you are. More specifically, you’re tempted to drive fast no matter what the road ahead looks like. If there are any bends or turns, you should always slow down. Going fast around a bend is an easy way to cause an accident and lose control of your car. You can go fast on the straights, but slow it down on the bends.

    Of course, you should follow general road safety tips too such as always wearing a seatbelt. These three tips can help you drive your fast car safely, and get a lot more enjoyment out of it too!

    • 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.
