    9 More Good Reasons to Get Motorcycle Insurance

    Perhaps the most important reasons why you need to get motorcycle insurance is that it’s a legal requirement if you want to register your motorcycle. This is a mandatory condition for virtually every state in the US. The exceptions are Washington and Florida, yet even in those states motorcycle riders are well-advised to get some insurance anyway. The possibility of financial devastation should any accident occur is just too harrowing to contemplate.

    Of course, some motorcycle riders don’t even think about that sort of possibility. But you have to. The truth is that accidents involving motorcycles are simply too possible, and here are some facts that can’t be denied.

    1. You don’t have a steel cage and a crumple zone to protect you. That makes you inherently vulnerable to injuries even from seemingly minor accidents. With minor car accidents and fender benders, you can walk away from it unscratched. That’s not true when you ride a motorcycle, as injuries occur in 96% of the accidents involving just your vehicle. When the accident involves another vehicle, the chances of getting injured jumps to 98%. In 45% of these accidents, the injuries were considered “serious” as well.
    2. You also don’t wear seatbelts that keep in place. So you can hurl from your motorcycle unlike car drivers. It’s a problem when you hit a wall, another car, a pedestrian, or even an animal. The consequences of this sort of accident are much more serious for motorcycle riders.
    3. Cars have 4 wheels, so they’re very stable. That’s not the same with motorcycles and their 2 wheel, so apparently minor problems for car drivers become major concerns for motorcycle drivers. With a car, you can run over a major pothole or a sizable rock on the road and the most you risk is some damage to the car. With a motorcycle, you’re more likely to fall and get hurt because of the same issues.
    4. If you’re driving a car and suddenly you get a flat tire, it’s possible that you may lose some control over your vehicle. But usually you can retain enough control so you can safely pull over to the side of the road. With a motorcycle, suddenly having your front tire get a puncture can result in you going topsy-turvy all over.
    5. Another major advantage of driving a 4-wheeled vehicle is that you’re much more visible to other drivers and pedestrians. With a motorcycle, not so much. In fact, the leading cause of motorcycle accidents is that the drive of a 4-wheeled vehicle didn’t see the motorcycle they hit before it was too late.
    6. Just because the weather is fine doesn’t automatically make it a lot safer for your 2-wheeled vehicle. Actually, bad weather factors in only in 2% of all motorcycle accidents. In the rest of the accidents the weather was just fine.
    7. Many insurance experts agree that the more miles you log on your vehicle, the more likely you’ll get into an accident. That’s why these insurers prefer to ensure people who don’t drive that often. But surprisingly, most motorcycle accidents happen not on long journeys but on short trips for errands or when riding for fun.
    8. Even fatigue isn’t a major cause of motorcycle accidents. In a lot of the time, the accident actually happens at start of the ride instead of later on when the motorcycle driver gets tired.
    9. Just because you don’t speed up on your motorcycle doesn’t automatically make it safer for you either. Actually, motorcycle speeds during accidents are less than 30 mph.

    This is actually a top 10 list, except that the first good reason to get motorcycle insurance is that the law requires it. But even if it doesn’t—common sense requires it too. So be sensible, and protect yourself as much as you can with proper insurance coverage.

    • 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.
