    There are few things more terrifying than being involved in a car accident. When an accident occurs due to no fault of your own, you may be able to recoup the money spent on treating your injuries and fixing your damaged car. Whatever the situation is, working with a law firm like Attorney Brian White & Associates, PC is a wise move. With the help of these legal professionals, you can figure out how much compensation you are entitled to, and how to best proceed in getting it.

    If you are like most people, you would rather avoid car accidents altogether. This requires adopting certain driving techniques and good habits. If you are looking to avoid some of the most common car accidents, consider the helpful information below.  

    Rear-End Collisions

    More than three million people are injured in car accidents in the United States every year, and many of these injuries come as a result of rear-end collisions. Generally, these types of collisions can cause injuries such as concussions and whiplash. 

    Avoiding rear-end collisions is possible if you follow a few basic rules, such as always keeping a good distance from the cars in front of you. Following too closely behind another car can be disastrous if the driver in front of you has to slam on their brakes. This is why it’s important to leave at least two car lengths between you and other vehicles when driving on the highway or other busy roads. 

    Rear-end collisions can also be prevented if you avoid operating a vehicle when you are sleepy, since your response time will be delayed. 

    Single-Vehicle Accidents 

    Slamming into a road barrier or skidding off the road in bad weather can be very dangerous and result in a lot of damage to your car as well. Unfortunately, single vehicle accidents are far more common than most motorists realize. One of the main causes of single-vehicle accidents is driving in bad weather. If you don’t have to be out in a rain or snowstorm, you need to stay put to avoid the dangerous driving conditions. 

    The other main cause of single-vehicle accidents is speed. Always be mindful of how fast you are going and follow the posted speed limit signs – especially around corners and sharp curves. Traveling at a higher rate of speed will make last-minute stops and turns very difficult. 

    Distracted Driving

    Over the past few years, distracted driving accidents have become extremely common. While most people enjoy looking at social media, text messages and alerts on their mobile devices, knowing when to participate in these activities can save lives. Many fatal accidents have occurred as a result of people checking their phones while driving. Taking your eyes off of the road for even a split second can lead to disaster. 

    Instead of putting yourself and the motorists around you in danger, resist the urge to use your mobile device while driving. If you regularly get phone calls during your commute, invest in a hands-free headset or earpiece if your car is not equipped with hands-free calling. With these modern tools, you can keep both hands on the wheel while fielding any important calls you might receive.

    These three accidents are some of the most common ones that can occur when you are behind the wheel. By applying the tips here, you can stay safe and keep those around you safe as well. If you are involved in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, working with a personal injury attorney like Demas Law Group is the best way to see if you have a case worth pursuing.

    • 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.

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?
