    Tips for Dealing with Car Accidents

    No one wants to get into a car accident. It doesn’t matter if you’ve hit a pedestrian or were struck by a drunk driver. They’re all auto accidents. And the odds are that every one of us will get into a car accident at some point, with most of us experiencing several in our lifetimes. Here are a few tips for dealing with car accidents. 

    Prioritize 

    Take care of immediate emergencies first. Get someone with a potential concussion or broken bone seen by a doctor before anything else, assuming you don’t need to pull someone from a burning car. Move the vehicles out of the way of oncoming traffic, if possible, but always set up warning indicators so that someone else doesn’t hit the cars involved. This could be as simple as turning on the warning lights of your car if you can’t set up flares or flashing emergency beacons around the car.

    After you’ve reduced the risk to life and property, start collecting information. Exchange insurance information, but verify their identification. For example, you could take pictures of their driver’s license so you know where they live. Take pictures of the people and vehicles involved. Ask for contact information of any witnesses. Record interactions with the police, and take pictures of their badge information. 

    Talk to an Attorney 

    It is always wise to consult with an auto accident attorney when dealing with an accident. For example, you don’t want to accept an insurance settlement when you might be eligible for more. Don’t admit to guilt and leave yourself exposed to criminal charges. Discuss the situation with an attorney as soon as all emergency medical needs are met, because their advice could help you gain the necessary photos, witness statements, documentation and records you need to prove your case later. 

    Make Other Necessary Calls 

    Call the police. These are the only people who can prove the other person is actually drunk or stoned. This eliminates any accusations of slander and uncertainty, while any such finding will eliminate your liability for the accident.

    They will also be able to create a police report of the accident, a third party assessment of the situation that takes the he-said-she-said argument out of the equation. Furthermore, informing them you’ve called the police to get a police report creates the opportunity for police to determine if the other person is driving without a valid license or breaking the law in some other regard. 

    When you talk to the police, stick to the facts. This aids your credibility if the police report becomes evidence later. 

    Have a Medical Evaluation 

    Conditions like whiplash are notorious for only being obvious days after the fact. However, people have tried to go home to recover when they needed medical attention for cracked bones and other serious injuries. See a doctor as soon as possible. This creates an independent third party assessment of your condition. It provides proof of your injuries if they exist, and it gives you peace of mind if nothing is seriously wrong. The cost of this assessment is almost always something insurance will cover.

    • 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.
