    The importance of road safety cannot be overemphasized. Every year, countless lives are lost due to road accidents. In many cases, these accidents could have been avoided if the drivers had taken some simple precautions.

    However,  even the most experienced drivers can sometimes find themselves in difficult situations. That is why it is always important to be aware of your surroundings and to know what to do if something goes wrong. Even though we cannot control everything on the road, there are still some things that we can do to minimize the risk of an accident. Here are some useful tips you should follow if you want to enhance your road safety.

    Putt Off YourΒ  Phone

    With cell phones, GPS devices, and other electronic devices becoming more and more common, it is important to be aware of the potential dangers they can pose. For starters,Β  you should never use your cell phone while driving, even if you are just sending a quick text message. If you need to use your phone, pull over to the side of the road first. Depending on the state, you may also be breaking the law if you are caught driving while using a cell phone. For instance, Huston has a citywide ban on texting while driving. So if you were injured in a Houston distracted driving accident, the other driver could be facing some serious penalties. Working with a distracted driving accident lawyer in Houston will give you the best chance of getting the compensation you deserve. And remember that even hands-free devices can be a distraction, so it is always best to wait until you have stopped before using your phone.

    Always Wear Your Seatbelt

    This may seem like an obvious one, but it is important to always make sure that you and your passengers are wearing seatbelts before setting off. This is especially important if you are going to be driving on the highway. Seatbelts are one of the most effective ways to reduce the severity of injuries in a car accident. Not only will they help to keep you in your seat, but they will also distribute the force of a collision more evenly across your body. Regardless of how short the journey is, always take the time to put on your seatbelt. It can make a world of difference if you are involved in an accident. Besides, in most states,Β  it is now illegal to drive without a seatbelt, so you are also risking a fine if you do not buckle up.

    Obey The Speed Limit

    Speed limits are there for a reason. They are designed to keep everyone on the road safe. By driving within the posted speed limit, you will greatly reduce your chances of being involved in a serious accident. Of course, there are times when you may need to drive slightly above the speed limit. For example, if you are trying to merge onto the highway, you may need to increase your speed briefly to match the flow of traffic. However, once you have merged, you should return to the posted speed limit as soon as possible. Other than in exceptional circumstances, there is no need to exceed the speed limit. Not only is it dangerous, but you will also risk being pulled over and receiving a speeding ticket.

    Do Not Drive Under The Influence

    This one should also be obvious. If you have been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, then you should not get behind the wheel. Not only is it illegal, but it is also extremely dangerous. Even if you think you are fine to drive, it is always better to err on the side of caution and take a taxi or call a friend for a lift. The last thing you want is to be involved in an accident that could have easily been avoided. If you are caught driving under the influence, you will face some serious penalties, including a possible jail sentence. Not to mention, you will also have to deal with the guilt of knowing that you could have killed or injured yourself or someone else. Since there are many solutions to the problem of drunk driving, there is no excuse for getting behind the wheel when you are intoxicated.

    Do Not Drive When Tired

    It is also important to be aware of the dangers of driving when tired. If you are feeling sleepy, then it is best to pull over and take a nap. It is also a good idea to avoid driving late at night or early in the morning, as this is when you are most likely to feel tired. Of course, sometimes it is not possible to avoid driving when tired, such as if you are on a long road trip. In these cases, make sure to take regular breaks and share the driving duties with someone else if possible. And if you start to feel sleepy, do not hesitate to pull over and rest for a while. Driving when tired can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol.

    While even the most cautious drivers can get into accidents, there are certain steps you can take to reduce the risk. By following the tips above, you will be well on your way to staying safe on the road. Just remember that even the safest drivers can make mistakes, so always stay alert and be prepared to react accordingly.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
