THE face-lifted Mazda 121 goes on sale this week complete with an electri­ cally-operated canvas roof in time for


summer. The 121 GLX “Canvas Top is


already on sale in Europe, where it has fast become a very popular car with


younger drivers. Powered by a sprightly 1.3-litre fuel-


injected engine, the baby Mazda comes in four-door guise with a five-speed gearbox, side-impact bars and power steering fitted as standard. But the really unique feature of the 121 is the choice of ways in which the full-length


roof can be opened. Operated from independent switches


centrally located for both front and rear seat passengers, the roof can be opened in three different ways; from front to back, back to front, or from the back and the front to meet in the mid-. die, keeping all four occupants happy according to their preferences.


The 121 Canvas Top is to retail at £9 800 in the UK but potential custom­


demand.

WHEN did you last look at the Highway Code? Even those who have


been driving for only two years are more likely to fail to use their mirrors or fail to notice someone waiting at a c r o s s in g than new


drivers. The RAC and the


Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) are concerned that most drivers study the Highway Code' in order to pass their test and then never look at it again. In order to raise awareness of the


newly-revised Highway Code, a RoSPA/RAC


Road Safety Competi­ tion is being launched this month;' Recent research from

WORRIED that your nice shiny and rather expensive new BMW might attract the wrong sort of attention from mem­ bers of the criminal fraternity? Then hot­ foot it back down to your dealership where cut-price aijti-theft systems are


now available. Thanks to demand from fleet and cor­


porate customers with large numbers of cars to, protect, BMW has cut the cost of


its own alarm systems. For as little as £155 — half the price of


the previous system — the BMW Anti­ theft System 2 offers remote operation, an immobiliser, central locking and boot, bonnet and door protection. At £295, the more sophisticated Anti-


theft System 3 has the additional fea­ tures of ultrasonics to protect the interior, a shock sensor, automatic win­ dow and sunroof closing, auxiliary power source and a panic/attack facility.


Costs, including fitting, are £275 and £450 respectively.


According to The Good Van Magazine, the


Uno Van is “a real pleasure to drive”, offer­ ing plenty of gutsy power but true economical


motoring for a modest outlay. The little Fiat packs a 1.7-litre five speed


diesel power unit, meaning it has ample power to lug the large loads its high capacity cargo area is capable of accommodating.


The van can also boast a solid, full-width


bulkhead meaning the driver is protected from any wayward loads by a substantial barrier, high levels of standard equipment and an excellent driving position.

The Uno Van costs £6,042 but is only available to special order.


the Transport Research Laboratory shows that the increase in the pro­ portion of drivers who had been involved in an


accident was greater for those who had been driving for between 18 and 24 months than between 12 and 18


, months. Those who had been driving for two years were more likely to make mis ju d g e ­ m en ts , try to race others from the lights, flash other drivers and speed at night. Commenting on the


findings, RAC cam­ p a ig n s m a n a g e r Edmund King said: “Research shows that just under 50% of experienced drivers would fail their driving test if they took it today. A higher proportion of qualified rather than, learner drivers in the study failed because of driving too fast for the conditions, approaching junctions too fast and not anticipating the actions of other drivers.


If drivers paid more attention to the highway code, many accidents could be prevented. Drink/Drive campaigns have been successful in changing social atti­ tudes, now is the time for raising awareness of road safety and the Highway Code.” Test out your know­


ledge of the Highway Code by calling 0891 445922 to enter the Ro­ SPA/RAC Road Safety Competition and you could win a free copy or even a VW Polo Gen­ esis Coupe. All the pro­ ceeds will go to fund the important work of RoSPA on child road


safety. “If all road users read


the Highway Code with as much enthusiasm as other best sellers, our roads would become safer overnight,” added Mr King.
