Driving style is the most important IMO, BUT your car makes a big difference too. Taking two equally cautious drivers, one in a car with ABS and other electronic driver aids and one without - the driver with the extra assistance will be safer, both for him/her self and for other road users.

Taking into consideration that many Citi owners buy Citis because they are "faster" than other economy cars - you have a situation with typically young inexperienced windgats driving the fastest car they can afford which also happens to have no safety features or driver aids. This = FAIL.

Na it's definitely one's driving style, although if you drive well and some lunatic crashes into you then you gonna need safety features...

 

[Budza]

But drop suspension, mags, freeflow are all important features...

Safety features and driving style aside!

Logic will save your ass 90% of the time!

Example: Logic dictates that you yield to cars already in a traffic circle. Not them yield to you!

The most important thing is to understand the basics of driving a car. (like turning a steering wheel, using a handbrake, knowing what a stop sign looks like and knowing that the speed limit is 120 km/h on a highway, whether in a car or a truck.....)

 

[killadoob]

Using the handbrake? What to make those extra tight turns or at a robot?

Damn i never use my handbrake, most important thing is knowing the limitation on your car and not pushing the boundaries too much. There is a speed limit on highways?

 

[undesign]

And remember, the Citi Golf's 120km/h is faster than a Tazz' 120km/h.



/sorry, couldn't resist

O another thing, never hesitate, either do or do not do it.

If you have doubt in your mind don't do it.
