Choosing the correct car seat is one of the most important decisions a parent will make.

Child car seats are essential safety elements for the well-being of young children, who, in the event of a crash, are extremely vulnerable. In South Africa, it is illegal to travel in a car with an unrestrained child under 3 years old. In order to protect our youngest road users and promote safety, we’re empowering you with access to the latest ADAC and PESRI car seat safety ratings.

These ratings reflect results from stringent tests which are conducted under real-life conditions in all available weight categories. In addition, new technologies such as the Isofix system are tested to assure parents that they are purchasing a good quality child car seat which adheres to important minimum safety standards.

The Automobile Association (AA) says Blue Light Brigades pose a threat to road users, particularly as drivers in the vehicles transporting politicians and behave aggressively towards other motorists. “The vicious assault on three drivers on the N1 highway in Fourways, Johannesburg in 2023 is a good example of how ‘protection officers’ in the...

Fuel good times set to end in November

The five-month trend of fuel decreases is set to end in November according to the Automobile Association (AA).
