    How to Make Driving Extra Safe

    It’s a given fact that, when you’re behind the wheel, you’re basically in full control of the car. What’s certain, still, is that you’re at the mercy of what’s happening on the road. Anything as small as an armadillo crossing the highway has the potential to cause extensive damage. And we’re not talking about your newly purchased muscle car. We’re also talking about your limbs, and face, and just about every body part contained within the vehicle.

    For this reason, a lot of drivers are looking towards solutions that will make their road excursions extra safe. At any rate, your safety and that of the other passengers is your top priority. And without knowing how to lessen the extent of damages you can incur during a crash (knock on wood) , you will be left with a lot to handle on your plate.

    Injury reduction is an important aspect of road safety, and as someone who is interested in collecting and driving cars, you should also take time to read some of the most important tips for lessening (better yet, avoiding) the effects of horrific crashes along the road.

    Apply for insurance

    It’s not only your car that deserves security. You also need to finance for your safety as well. In the United States alone, at least 1.3 million people die from vehicular accidents per year, with around 20 to 50 million left injured and disabled. This alone should be enough to apply for insurance covering motoring-related incidences.

    Never drive under the influence

    It has become a cliche for people to avoid driving while they are drunk or under the influence of drugs. But despite numerous warnings from federal and state actors, millions of people still die from car-crashes. This means to say that a lot has to be done in mitigating road collisions. For your part, you have the obligation to follow laws and rules that are designed to protect life and limb. The day you received your driver’s license was also the day you accepted this obligation.

     Reinforce your vehicle

    You can reduce injuries during a crash by strengthening your car’s build. This essentially means modifying your car for any eventuality. For this reason, you should be able to add extra armor to your car and make necessary improvements, starting with the windshield. Your safety depends on the type of materials that make up your vehicle. In the case of windshields, Van Isle Glass points that poor windshield installation can actually cause unwanted injuries and even deaths. Drivers should thus opt to replace the glass in their windshields at the slightest hint of a crack. That way, they can prevent a simple bumper-to-bumper crash from getting any worse.

    Test your brakes and your tires

    A great deal of vehicle accident have been caused by faulty brakes and tires. So, every once in a while, try to check the integrity of your tires and test your brakes. When you find any issues with them, do the necessary diagnostics and come up with a solution as soon as possible. That way, you can traverse the roads without any incidence.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
