    Top 5 Most Common Types Of Motor Vehicle Accidents And How To Avoid Them

    Car accidents happen every day. They’re one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Some of the can be avoided, some other ones not as much. By knowing how accidents occur, however, you will automatically know how to stay safe on the road.

    In this article, we’ll introduce you to the 5 commonest types of accidents and we’ll also tell you how to avoid them. You probably know them already, but this is a topic that cannot be repeated enough times.

    1. Single-Car Accidents

    These happen when somebody hits an animal, for instance, or goes into a skid on an icy road. This is not to say that this is more innocuous than a head-on collision. It can easily take a person’s life.

    You can avoid this by respecting all the rules of circulation, by being focused on the road and by sharpening your instincts. Not talking on the phone while driving will also decrease the risk of getting in a single-car accident.

    1. Head-On Collision

    Head-on collisions are by far the most destructive car accidents and the chances of survival, depending on the speed of the car, can be null. A head-on collision can occur between two vehicles or between 1 vehicle and a wall, for example.

    How to avoid head-on collisions: do not overtake a car if a curve is ahead, look at the street signs and do not drive while drunk.

    1. Rollover

    Rollovers are as fatal as head-on collisions and are a consequence of many things: excessive speed, driving under the influence, getting out of the road, bad roads, etc. They can be avoided pretty much the same way as the rest of accidents.

    Due to the fact that they happen more frequently on wet roads, make sure you respect the speed limit and don’t floor it.

    1. Side-Impact

    Side-impact accidents happen in intersections most of the times. While 1 car goes on a straight path, another one comes from one of the sides and goes headfirst into the side of the first car.

    These can be avoided by always waiting for the green light and looking around before you hit the acceleration.

    1. Rear-End Impact

    Simply put, a rear-end impact happens when you drive around and due to slippery road conditions, your tires don’t ensure the proper traction and you crash in the rear of the vehicle in front of you.

    Of course, it can happen the other way around, when the vehicle behind you can’t slow down and crashes in the rear of your car. Put chains on your wheels or slow down quicker than you would normally.

    Conclusion

    Personal injuries in a collision can be fatal, so extra attention when at the wheel is warranted. Always respect the driving regulations and you won’t get in any accidents. Hopefully, the other drivers will do the same.

    Stay safe on the road and learn how accidents happen before you learn that the hard way.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • 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.
