New Kid on the block: Hire the Citroen DS3 Cabrio with Sixt!
The concept of small families and small cars is ruling the world, now. This concept can be fairly justified by the fact that MINI took off the roof from its hatchback to come up with the convertible, and Fiat followed suit by adding the 500 C to its line-up. It was just a matter of time before Citroen decided to add DS3 Cabrio to its range of cars. The DS3 follows a somewhat similar approach that Fiat followed, thereby keeping the B and C pillars of the car in the right place, and adding a canvas roof that is capable of reclining completely, offering a well-performing engine and a good handling mechanism.
The cool French styling and the fully equipped DStyle, DSign and the DSport trim levels add more charm to the DS3 Cabrio. An excellent car for our customers, so make sure you take one for a spin and Hire DS3 Cabrio with Sixt now!
Drivers are now facing a £90 Fine for Motorists who Text while Driving
By feffwilcox / Flickr.com
Drivers who are caught sending text messages while at the wheel of their vehicles are to receive increased fines as part of a crackdown on careless and dangerous driving announced by the government.
Crackdown
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin has confirmed that a range of offences, which are currently punishable by a £60 fine, will be subject to a penalty of £90 in addition to three penalty points being added to the driver’s licence. In addition to texting while driving, offenders who make or receive calls on a handheld device, eat at the wheel, pass red lights or tailgate others will also be targeted.
New laws aimed at curbing driving under the influence of drugs are also to be introduced although the existing drink-driving limit is to remain unchanged.

Are Women the Worst Learner Drivers?
It is one of the most popular and fought over modern debates; who are the worst drivers, men or women? Inevitably people involved in these debates fall into two camps. Those people who believe it is women and those who believe it is men.
Others believe that men and women can be criticised separately for specific areas of driving, such as parking and braking at the appropriate time. However, the focus of this debate is now focused on which of the sexes is the worst learner driver and evidence and statistics have been provided suggest that it is women.
