    Driving out on the open road can give you a sense of freedom you rarely find anywhere else. It can also give you a thrill if you’re visiting a race track or driving off-road. However, driving does come with its dangers and its best be cautious at all times. This can be especially true for new drivers who aren’t used to driving in new surroundings. Here are some tips on staying safe while driving.

     

    Stay Alert

    There can be many distractions when it comes to driving so you need to be observant. Don’t start off on a long journey if you’re tired and always take a break if you’re on the road and you feel yourself getting drowsy. It’s particularly important if you’re driving at night time or in adverse weather conditions, like heavy rain. If you’re unable to stop and you’re feeling tired, turn off the music and sing instead. This will ensure you stay alert rather than be soothed by playing music. You should also open your window and let cold air in. Stop as soon as you get the chance.

    Don’t Use Mobile Phones

    When you receive a call or text while driving, it’s tempting to take a look, or even reply. Using your phone will driving is very dangerous, and it’s one of the biggest distractions to cause accidents. Even when your phone is displayed on your dashboard or you use it as your satellite navigation system, it can still take your eyes off the road long enough to cause a crash. If you know you’ll need directions on a regular basis, consider investing in a Sat Nav instead of using your phone, so you can store your phone away safely until the vehicle is parked.

    Be Aware of Others

    Sadly, there has been a history of drivers purposely causing accidents to make injury claims. With the rise of in-car cameras, thankfully, it doesn’t happen as often. However, it’s still wise to have eyes everywhere while driving. Even if you’re the most cautious driver in the world, another more reckless driver could put you in an accident. If that happens you may need a car accident attorney. If you’re aware of what other drivers are doing, you’ll be much safer on the road.

    Don’t Take Risks

    It goes without saying that no-one should ever risk drinking and driving. However, many people do still have an alcoholic drink with a meal and get behind the wheel. Although one drink won’t get you drunk, it can still dull your senses. It’s also not worth the risk to make illegal U-turns or speed up as traffic lights are changing to red. Life is busy and we all want to get to our destinations as quickly as possible, but don’t play Russian roulette.

    The rules for staying safe while driving are mostly common sense, but it’s surprising how many people are willing to ignore them. When you are driving, you have more than your own life in your hands, so keep everyone safe.

    • 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.
