    Driving has become a very popular profession, as most drivers can earn a good amount rendering their service to the people using an app like Uber. They just need a car and the ability to drive. However, before driving professionally, there are many things that you should be aware of. You will need to calculate which car is more economical for you so you can keep profits after deducting the price of gas. In this article, some of the most important things that you will need to consider before becoming a professional driver are discussed and also some suggestions are given that you might want to consider.

    Keeping track of the expenses

    As a professional driver, what the customers are paying you is not all your profit. You have to keep track of the expenses to make sure that you are being smart about it. You need to know about the best mileage rate. You can search in search engines, mileage rate 2019, to get more information regarding the best rate you can get. You also need to collect the receipts so you can properly save money while paying taxes. Saving all your receipts show the expenses that you have. It will help you save money while paying your taxes.

    Beginning tips for drivers

    If you are a beginner and you don’t know much about driving, you can follow some basic tips. One of the most important don’ts, while you are driving, is to text and drive at the same time. You might feel that you are careful and you can handle both of the things at the same time, but many of the accidents happen because people were diverted by their messages while they were driving. 

    You can take a basic driver education course to know in detail what you need to know before starting to drive. You can get advanced training to drive properly. Another golden rule of driving safely is not to drink and drive at the same time. Drinking and driving costs the lives of many innocent people. It is your responsibility as a driver to keep yourself safe, your passengers safe, and also the people that are walking in the road. Be responsible and sober when you are driving. 

    To drive safely, you should always follow the speed limit as they are given for keeping people safe. Life is more valuable than time and you should be as safe as possible while you are driving.

    Some things that you should consider

    The websites and apps may claim that their drivers are earning very well, but their real income might be slightly less than it was advertised. You should consider driving for multiple companies at the same time as Uber and Lyft so you can get more clients and you have more options to pick up the best deal for you. You should also know about the peak hours when you can make the best amount of money possible. It can vary depending on where you live but you must be familiar with the hours and be more active on those hours to make the most income. 

    You can consider joining groups where you can get good advice from more experienced drivers. You can find communities that are formed by uber drivers to get better information. It is important to keep your car clean both on the inside and the outside as the customers like a nice clean ride. It will affect your ratings if your car is not properly cleaned. As a freelance driver, you have the option to work 24 hours a day and also to not work at all. You are solely responsible to maintain the work-life balance. It is important to make sure that you are dedicating enough time to rest and sleep as well so you can drive properly. It is a good idea to know the area that you are driving around well. You can save your clients time by knowing the shortcuts to the area. It is a good idea to have another source of income besides being a professional driver as the earnings are low.

    Being a professional driver is a big responsibility. It is your duty as a driver to safely carry your passengers from one place to another.

    • 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.
