    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.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
