    The 3 Keys To Driving Safely Around Motorcycles

    We have all heard the advice to “Check twice, save a life!” when it comes to making sure we share the road well with motorcyclists. However, as great advice as it is, it is not enough to prevent an accident. It is very important to make sure to drive safely when there are motorcycles around. 

    Motorcycles are not like cars in that they are hard to see and the rider can’t react as if they were in a car. If you were not driving safely around them then an accident is more likely than if it were a car. Fort Lauderdale motorcycle accident attorney Gabriel Levin is trying to get people to understand how they can help to prevent motorcycle accidents to make it safer for everybody.

    In this article, we will give you several tips to be able to avoid an accident with a motorcycle rider. 

    1 – Always check your blind spots

    Many car drivers feel isolated in their car and tend to get tunnel vision. Often, they are only looking at what is happening in front of them. We need to be better at continuously checking our mirrors so we know what the vehicles are around us. 

    Every few seconds take a look at your rear view and side mirrors and make a note of what is happening behind you. Even if you aren’t planning to turn or change lanes anytime soon. It helps to do this as if something were to happen and you need to react, you will know what is around you.

    Your blind spot isn’t so blind if you already know there is a motorcycle approaching so when you look in your mirror and don’t see it, you will check your blind spot to see if they are there. 

    2 – Always use your turn signals

    Whenever you are planning to turn, make sure to use your turn signals. If you are turning left in front of an approaching motorcycle and you don’t signal, then the motorcyclist has no time to react and will likely result in an accident. 

    They can slam on the brakes and come in skidding like in a car. What usually happens is that they have to ditch the motorcycle and go down onto the pavement. This is extremely dangerous and leads to awful injuries. 

    If they see that you plan to turn then they will be able to react within the right amount of time to avoid that happening. Even when changing lanes, you should put your turn signal on so there are no surprises. Especially if you didn’t know there was a motorcycle around.

    3 – Don’t tailgate

    Although tailgating another car is bad, it rarely results in more than a fender bender in an accident. This is not the case with a motorcycle. Always give plenty of space ahead of you in case you need to brake quickly. 

    If you are too close and hit them from behind it can be deadly.

    • 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?
