    Premature deaths resulting from drunk driving are pretty common, locally and globally. Every year, 6 out of 10 deaths are attributed to drunk driving, according to worldwide statistics. In fact, it’s one of the most worrying problems in South Africa when it comes to road safety.

    Even though drinking can’t be avoided during a fun night out with friends, there should be limitations and safety precautions in place to avoid the fatal consequences of alcohol-related road accidents. If you want to dodge this kind of situation, it’s only sensible to know some foolproof ways to ensure you’re not driving under the influence of alcohol.

    No Excuses, Don’t Drive If You’ve Been Drinking

    When you drink, it’s best to avoid getting behind the wheel, even if you feel like you’re capable of driving. It doesn’t matter if your vehicle is well-maintained. You still wouldn’t have maximum control of the situation when quick decisions and actions are necessary. For one, your reaction time might be slower when you’re required to take stock of your surroundings and keep a safe distance from other cars. It’s highly likely that drunk drivers are also out on the road.

    Choose a Designated Driver Before You Start Drinking

    When you’re out celebrating with friends and alcohol is involved, the smart thing to do is decide who will be a designated driver. This person shouldn’t drink at all and should make sure that everybody gets home safely. 

    Make a Plan Before Going Out With Friends

    If the designated driver ends up having a few drinks, you should consider an alternative. That’s why it’s advisable to have a plan before you go out with friends. This includes what you need to do if you all end up drinking and get drunk in the process. You might elect to play it safe and commute home. Getting a cab or a ridesharing service could be a better option. If you have no other choice, you can also decide not to go home. Getting a hotel room or staying with friends who live nearby can lessen your risk of getting into a drunk-driving accident.  

    Know the Consequences of Drunk Driving 

    Driving under the influence can be a ticket to jail. Another likely scenario is getting your license revoked and paying a fine. But the gravest consequence of drunk driving lies in the possibility of putting your life or someone else’s life in danger. There is a high risk of causing a car accident when you drive while drunk. Just imagine killing someone as a result of your recklessness. 

    Wrapping It Up

    Drinking alcohol in social situations is sometimes inevitable. However, there are ways to avoid the dangers of drunk driving. Keeping these tips in mind can help you avoid the consequences. It can make a world of difference in protecting someone’s life, including yours and all the others who share the road with you.

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.
