    What Will Motorways Look Like in Ten Years’ Time?

    Most people drive along the motorway in a blur of concentration, radio singing and occasionally light daydreaming. Few consider how much the motorway has changed already, and how it will further develop in the future. With the roadways getting busier and busier, it’s worth considering what motorways could look like in another decade.

    Consequently, here’s a quick rundown of how motorways could be different by 2028.

    More Learner Drivers

    Learner drivers were not allowed near motorways at any point before their test was past. It’s mildly understandable, learner drivers can be jittery behind the wheel, and one stall or bump could lead into a pileup. Still, it’s not like learners are completely incompetent behind the wheel until a test tells them that they aren’t!

    Just last June, laws were changed that meant learner drivers at test-ready level could drive on motorways under the close supervision of their instructor. Consequently, in ten years’ time, it’s likely that learner drivers will be a very common sight on the motorway, instead of a rarity now under a relatively new law. Moreover, it can have a host of other benefits too, such as…

    Safer Motorways

    Unfortunately, motorways are notorious for fatal accidents, as many speed and drive carelessly. However considerate drivers tend to navigate the roads more cautiously under certain circumstances, like when a learn driver is around. They do this to take the pressure of the learner and to make sure everyone on the road is safe, so it’s quite feasible that motorways could be a bit safer in ten years.

    Conversely, automation could play a big part in motorway safety too for the wrong reasons, as fleets of automated lorries have been developed and are now test-ready too. While you might think automation equates to safety, in this scenario it doesn’t. Britain has extremely busy motorways, and the reported consensus is that platooned automated lorries will block road signs and obscure the drivers view. Moreover, they’ll take up large amounts of room on already congested motorways, so they’ll likely create more problems than they’ll solve.  

    More Deliveries

    The lorry drivers won’t be out of work though! It’s no secret that online shopping has experienced an enormous boom in recent years. Instead of shopping locally many people now order their goods online and businesses make orders for stock digitally too, sending lorries and their drivers up and down the country making endless deliveries. Freight is getting bigger and bigger, and the motorways busier in result.

    Still, quality delivery companies like TNT are benefitting from this, particularly as it’s keeping their employees in work and their stock rolling along quite nicely. People are attracted to these easy and effortless services, but it’s also keeping the motorways very active too, so expect more and more lorries on the motorways in the next decade!

    • 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.
