    Road Accidents: What To Do and What Are Your Options

    Car accidents can leave lingering effects for weeks to come. There can be physical pain and mental trauma associated with such an event. They can seriously affect a person’s mood and behavior for the rest of their lives.

    If you’re involved in a car accident, make sure that you receive any appropriate medical treatment as soon as possible. The sooner you are treated, the sooner doctors can diagnose and effectively treat any health issues that need to be addressed. Feeling better physically can also improve your state of mind.

    You’ll also want to talk to your insurance company after being involved in an accident. You may also want to consult an attorney about negligence and damages. You can read more online about Dallas truck accident lawyers and other law firms that specialize in such cases. Make sure that you fully understand your rights and responsibilities before hiring an attorney.

    Here are a few things that you’ll need to do if you’re ever in a road accident:

    1. Exchange insurance information

    Even if you’re not at fault in an accident, you should exchange car insurance information with the other driver immediately. Your insurance provider and the insurance provider for the other driver will need to contact each other to assess the situation, determine who was at fault and which party should pay damages, if any.

    2. Take photos and get eyewitness accounts, if possible

    A lot of things are said after an accident, but very few of them are remembered accurately afterwards. Taking photos of the accident, accident location and talking to witnesses to get their recount of the situation as soon as possible helps avoid any mistakes if the accident should be brought to trial. This information can also be beneficial when reporting a claim to your insurance agency.

    3. Call 911, and ask for a police report

    Your first call after you’ve been involved in an auto accident should be to 911. Pull out of traffic and turn on your hazard lights if possible. The officer who responds will survey the damage, call for medical assistance if needed and will file a police report. When the officer asks you questions, make sure that you reply accurately and honestly. Some states require that an accident be reported to the authorities or else you could be cited, even if there is no damage reported. You can ask for a copy of the police report and send it to your insurance agency if you are filing a claim.

    4. Don’t stress over it

    No matter how big or small an auto accident is, it can usually cause a lot of stress and worry for the people involved. If you get into an accident, don’t beat yourself up mentally over it. They’re called accidents for a reason. The results from them are usually temporary. Make whatever amends you need to, take time for any medical care that you may need as a result of the accident, and move on after enough time.

    These are some of the more important steps to take after you’ve been in a vehicle accident. It may take a few days or weeks to sort out information from the police report and insurance claims. Stay in touch with your insurance agent, and make sure you understand you’re covered for. Accidents can be a reality check, but they are rare, and for some of us, they never happen at all. Knowing what to do just in case can save you a lot of mental strain and can help you get on with your life.

    • 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.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • 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.
