  Common Sense From the IAM About Driving in Difficult Conditions 27 Oct 2013 (News)
  Use the reflective road signs and lines to help you see where the road goes and where there are particular problems. If an approaching car forgets to dip its lights, look beyond the lights to their left to avoid being dazzled as much. If it’s gloomy in the morning, don’t forget to put your lights on then too. And if your car is fitted with Daytime Running Lights, remember they only show at the front, not the back.

  Automatic 'Smart City' Braking Standard on new Mazda CX-5 8 Jun 2015 (News)
  .  The SCBS system will make its first appearance fitted as standard on the all-new Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUV, which goes on sale this spring. The innovative SCBS system uses a laser sensor to detect a vehicle or obstacle in front of the Mazda CX-5 and if the driver fails to slow his/her vehicle appropriately, or to take avoiding action, SCBS automatically activates the brakes and reduces the engine output at the same time.  In this way, SCBS helps to avoid collisions or mitigate the damage from rear-end collisions at low speeds, which are among the most common accidents.  SmartCityBrake Support - how it works When driving at speeds between 2.5 and 19mph, a laser sensor mounted at the top of the windscreen detects a vehicle or obstacle in front of the car and monitors the gap and the closing speed.  If the SCBS calculates that there is a risk of a collision occurring - if the driver were to take no action - it pre-pressures the braking system.  This ensures a faster response when the driver activates the brakes or, if the driver fails to perform any avoidance manoeuvre or apply the brakes, an automatic braking operation is activated.  Effective when the speed difference between the driver's car and the vehicle in front is less than 19mph, the system is designed to avoid or mitigate the damage from a collision.  Mazda Motor Corporation is intensifying its safety-related research and development efforts, aiming for the ultimate goal of realising an accident-free and safe motorised society.  Mazda intends to extend its advanced safety technologies, such as SCBS, to future new models, following its debut on Mazda CX-5, to contribute to provide all customers with driving pleasure together with outstanding environmental and safety performance.

  A Grand Monday: Triumph Toledo 24 Mar 2014 (News)
  The Toledo was launched in 1970 as a 1300cc rear-wheel-drive entry-level Triumph, and was heavily based on the interesting front-wheel drive 1500 saloon. What made the Toledo particularly interesting was that it used the front-wheel-drive 1500 (nee 1300)’s body with a shorter nose and tail, and a less plush interior - designed to take over where the old Herald 13/60 left off.
