Exciting Trophy 265 unleashes fury of the new
Mégane Renault Sport range
Europcar, one of South Africa’s leading car rental companies, is the vehicle sponsor for this year’s Tour de Free State, a cycling race that meanders through the Free State Province from 23 – 27 May.
The annual cycling race which is aimed at increasing tourism to the province will this year see both national and international cyclists taking part in the race. The ladies race has been awarded UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) Olympic qualifier status which ensures that UCI points will be awarded to the winners of each stage of the race, thereby potentially assisting another lady from the South African cycling team to qualify for the Olympics which take place in London in just over two months.
Serious injuries sustained by pedestrians while listening to headphones have more than tripled in six years, according to a new study published this week in the journal Injury Prevention.
According to the study, between January 2004 and June 2011, there were 116 reports of death or injury of pedestrians wearing headphones. Most of the incidents occurred in urban areas, and the average age of the victims was 21. More specifically, about two thirds were male (68 percent) and under 30 years old (67 percent).
OUTA is surprised to hear Cabinet’s announcement to appeal the court’s granting of the interdict against the e-Tolling of Gauteng’s freeways, on 28th April 2012.
Despite the announcement, our attorney of record has not received any correspondence to this effect. In the interim, we are awaiting the full record from all respondents, prior to OUTA being able to prepare its affidavits for the judicial review process to commence.
RAISING THE BAR
Production at the Thule Towing Systems plant in Pietermaritzburg has been ramped up with an additional two welding robots to meet growing demand from both local and international clients. Capacity at the plant now exceeds 100 000 units per annum, helping to drive Thule’s total annual towbar output worldwide towards the 2-milllion mark.
