    The Risks Of Driving In Wet Weather

    Rainfall can contribute to extremely dangerous driving conditions. Drivers need to be aware that wet weather makes it much harder for their car’s tyres to grip the road. As such, this can make it far more difficult to corner and brake—especially when you are driving at speed. Road users are, therefore, at a much higher risk of a traffic collision during or after rainfall. 

    There are plenty of things that drivers can do to reduce the risk of having an accident. It is essential, for instance, that your tyres are up to standard. You should also leave plenty of distance between you and other road users—even if you are confident about driving in the rain you cannot be certain about the competency of other drivers.

    However, the best thing you can do to stay safe when driving in wet conditions is to slow down. The faster you drive on a wet surface, after all, the longer it will take you to stop when you need to brake. KwikFit actually studied how long it would take your vehicle to stop on a rainy road, and the results are quite shocking.

    Ordinarily, it would take 23 metres for your car to come to a stop if you are driving at 30mph on a dry road. At 70mph, it would take up to 96 metres. But when you are operating your vehicle on a wet surface, it can twice as long. It takes 36 metres to stop when driving at 30mph and 192 metres when driving at 70mph. This, of course, can mean the difference between life and death.

    Although there are many important things that road users need to account for if they choose to drive in wet conditions, KwikFit’s research shows that the most important thing you can do is also the simplest: slow down.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
