psychological phenomenon 'Looked But Failed To See' is an increasingly regular cause of accidents. Motorists are often so comfort­ able with their local route and surroundings that while they do 'look' for any obstacles or dangers, they sometimes fail to 'see' what is in front of their noses. Drivers on familiar turf are more relaxed than when travelling on unknown routes, on which they are forced to concentrate harder to find their destination. Drivers' attention is less acute on local routes." The phenomenon of LBFTS, combined


with the added pressures of travelling with the family during the busy holiday period, is a recipe for disaster. It is very important that drivers ensure that they are road-safe and maximise their concentration at aU times. The most common reasons cited by motorists for losing concentration while driving are: • Slow moving drivers in front. • Road works at the end of a journey. • Squabbling children in the back of the ear. • Back-seat driver's comments. • Irritating in-car music.

FORTY-SIX per cent of British car accidents happen within a few miles of

OWERFUL cabriolet cars have not always had the best reputation.


There is something about lopping


a vehicle’s head off that often does some very strange things to its dynamics. Reluctant to blunt per­ formance with too much weight in the way of chassis strengthening, some manufacturers have released their wares hoping that the perform­ ance figures will sell the car, with owners only subsequently finding out that their pride and joy has the torsional rigidity of a cowboy builder’s conservatory. Unless you are a serious perform­


ance junkie, torsional rigidity may not be something that has kept you awake at night. A modicum of flex in a vehicle’s structure does not hurt, but overall you do not want too much torsion in your car’s body. Why not? Low rigidity results in


vibrations and degrades handling performance. A decent handling car relies, to a greater extent than many realise, on suspension designs that optimise tyre and road contact under all conditions. Introduce too much torsion into the equation and the maths gets


tricky really quickly. In short, the wheels are no longer where they are supposed to be relative to each other. In these cases, even well-engi­


neered suspensions do not stand a chance. This problem tends to affect cars that have been cheaply convert­ ed into drop tops. Cars that were designed from vir­


tually a clean sheet of paper to be convertibles usually have the right amount of torsional strength built into their chassis. Cars like the Vaux- hall Astra TwinTop for example.


Drive the TwinTop 2.0T and you


will feel a little more flex than in its hatchback sibling, but not much. Drop a wheel deliberately into a pot­ hole and you will feel a httle kick in the steering and spot the rear view mirror vibrate momentarily before composure is regained. It is an impressive showing for a


car with its roof in the boot. What is more, this model encourages enthusi­ astic driving. The 2.0T model gets to 60 m.p.h. in a vanishing 8.3 seconds and runs on to 146 m.p.h. You will

want to put the roof up for that sort of endeavour though. Priced at £20,695 on the road, the


2.0T is not pocket change. Only one trim level is offered. Design, although this comes with all manner of goodies including 17 in., 10-spoke alloys and a sports steering wheel, as well as other styling features to add a dynamic edge. Rain-sensitive windscreen wipers,


an anti-dazzle rear view mirror, auto­ matic lighting control and a wind­ break are also all standard.
