    Planning For A Car Accident

    Here are some things that you can do to protect your interests if you get into an accident:

    Call the Cops right away 

    A big part of what police officers do is react to car accidents and document what has happened.  It is their job, so call them immediately.  And, in case you were wondering, no matter how small an accident might seem, it is best to call the cops.  Don’t let the other party tell you that it’s not needed!  If they want to, it might mean they have some situation that they don’t want revealed –like an expired license or an intoxication issue.

    Collect data immediately 

    If you’re so inclined, find out names of the others involved are in the accident and any witness names.  You never know, it might take time before a cop arrives and important people may leave before the police come by. Find out who was involved and anyone’s names that saw the accident happen. Also take down the accident’s location, and license plate numbers!

    Take pictures

    Start taking photos. You don’t even have to get out of the car when you do this. Just snap photos with your cell phone from your seat. And, if you are comfortable with doing so, and it is safe, exit your car and continue taking pictures.  When you have pictures, you have documented the accident’s reality.  This way, when the cars are moved, you will have this evidence to protect yourself.

    Record Conversations 

    This will probably seem unnecessary but try to record conversations you have with those at the scene, and this includes the responding cop. It’s 100% legal, and it may often be helpful later if statements on the police report are inaccurate or if the other driver’s insurance disputes the report. Most cell phones today have the capability to record conversations. Ask the team at this Baltimore, MD Mazda car dealership for instructions on how to do this!

    We hope you will be lucky and never get into a car accident, but if you are, knowing what to do may save you a lot of time and trouble –particularly when dealing with the police.  Police officers are busy professionals and the accurate collection of accident evidence and data may be hard, especially if the scene is chaotic.

    In summary, nobody wants to go head into action at a car accident scene but if it involves you, and friends and/or family, protecting your interests could save you tons of time and trouble. As we touched on in this article, think about recording as much of it as you can just in case you would want to present the information to interested parties at a later time.

    There are millions of accidents in this country every year. Again, we hope that you will never be in one but it could still happen and it never hurts to know what to do if/when it happens during your hours on the road!

    • 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?
