    Common Causes of Road Accidents You Need to Be Aware Of

    Every single day, we put our lives on the line behind the wheel of a car. It may not seem like a dangerous activity, having been normalized and repeated, but there are still risks involved. As a general rule, most people are safe due to the crash tests and evolving technologies in the auto industry. But even then, there are situations and severe accident-prone conditions that can put you and your loved ones at risk. Texas has some pretty safe driving conditions compared to other states. The issue is the drivers. 

    It’s a common saying across the Lone Star State that people tend to drive either too fast or too aggressively. With that in mind, here are some of the most common road accidents you need to be aware of next time you turn the ignition. 

    Distracted Driving 

    Distracted driving is the number one reason for car accidents. The amount of damage done by people just not paying attention is astronomical. For years, San Antonio Auto Accident Lawyers have been seeing a steady rise in cases where the people behind the wheel were engaged in another activity aside from driving. Some people were eating, others were putting on makeup. The biggest one, by far, is texting. We can’t seem to get off of our phones. It’s got our eyes permanently glued to the next tweet or the next like. 

    Our little dopamine spikes, for some reason or another, is more important than road safety. It’s important that we keep our attention and eyes on the road. Put the phone away. 

    Sleepy Driving

    Another common cause is being sleepy. There’s no doubt that the United States works longer and harder than most other first world countries. Our long hours and ruthless work culture make it, so most of us are stuck doing things that are the opposite of stimulating. Because of this, the majority of people on the road, whether it’s first thing in the morning or after a hard day at work, are sleepy. Who hasn’t caught themselves dozing off on the road? 

    This is an incredibly dangerous situation to be in. Unfortunately, there’s no easy fix. One can only be aware of it happening. Bring coffee.

    Speeding

    Speeding is a problem in Texas. There’s a level of bravado that comes with having to be the biggest and the fastest. Everybody acts like they’re the king of the road. Just look at the “Texas” editions trucks that sell out every year. We all know that Hemi isn’t for hauling bricks. Because of the recklessness of the driving population, thousands of individuals needlessly die on the road. That’s not to say one should drive like a grandma. But during rush hour? Stick to the conditions of the road. 

    Be mindful of the highway loops that cars have families in them. It may be hard to extend that kind of courtesy, especially since driving is such an individualistic activity. But everyone has to share the road. It doesn’t matter how much horsepower you’ve got under the hood. Everyone has to be aware of their surroundings. There is no tweet, like, or engine sound worth the risk of harming another.

    • 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.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • 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?
