    You can certainly understand that having faulty brakes is not a good idea, and that, if you drive with them, the possibility of having an accident will increase significantly. What you may not know, is how many other faulty parts in your vehicle can lead to the same result. And being that, even with a perfect car we are never fully free of the possibility of being in a car accident, why not take actions to at least take care of those items that are under our control?

    Car Maintenance Musts to Avoid or Prevent Accidents

    Take the time to make sure your car is properly maintained in order to drive better, safer, and avoid accidents. Here are just some key aspects you need to look after:

    Wiper Blades

    Visibility goes hand in hand with safe driving. Worn, cracked, or stiff windshield wipers will not do a good job and need to be replaced. While you’re at it, top your wiper fluid container.

    Electrical System

    You definitely don’t want your battery to die on you. Or, if it doesn’t die completely, you also don’t want to have to deal with a car that stalls or operates improperly. Have your battery checked regularly.

    Tires

    Different weather conditions make driving more dangerous. Tires need to be inspected to prevent blowouts and have you losing control of your car. You should also consider having them rotated, aligned, or replaced if needed. Regularly check tire pressure to manufacturer’s recommendation.

    Hoses and Belts

    Time makes rubber brittle, especially in areas where freezing temperatures hasten the process. Inspect belts and hoses to check if they are frayed, have cracks, or show soft spots. Belts and hoses can cause extensive engine damage when they are not in perfect condition.

    Antifreeze

    Speaking about freezing temperatures, you should check your antifreeze. Make sure it is the correct one for your car, and inspect the reservoir and cap to check for cracks.

    Air Filter

    Poor engine performance can come about because of dirty air filters. They can also reduce your gas mileage. This is a simple fix; you can take care of it yourself or get a professional to do it for you.

    Lights

    Critical on your to-do list is checking your vehicle’s lights: turn signals, headlights, and taillights. A burn-out lightbulb or non-working brake lights can lead to trouble. Once again, visibility is important at all times to avoid or prevent accidents.

    Avoiding Accidents Can Be Up To You

    Your attitude when behind the wheel can also be an important factor when you want to prevent an accident. Start by always wearing a seat belt, be aware of the weather conditions, take driving seriously by not drinking, eating, or texting while driving. Remember to always look back when backing out, do not tailgate, keep sufficient distance from the car ahead of you, and be aware of erratic behavior from drivers next to you.

    If despite all your efforts, you have been involved in a car accident, you can apply for a car accident lawsuit loan. The money you receive will come in handy because it will help you get by while you wait for the settlement to come in. And you will only have to repay the loan if you receive a settlement.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
