HERE is some useful advice for long­ distance drivers, which aims to make journeys as safe as possible.


• For long journeys, both cars and drivers


need to be in the right condition. Cars and drivers suffer the effects of pressure and can become worn out - cars break down, drivers fall asleep. Be sure to prepare yourself and the vehicle prior to long distance journeys. • Never drive for more than eight hours in


a day and never drive for more than two hours without a break. • People are most susceptible to sleep at


times when they normally would be asleep - particularly in the early hours of the morn­ ing. Research shows our natural alertness is at its lowest between midnight and 6 a.m. If it can be avoided, do not drive at these times. • Always resist the urge to push on if driv­


ing is becoming uncomfortable. • If finishing a journey is.essential, and


tiredness creeps in near completion of the trip, caffeine can act as a stimulant, but at least two cups of strong coffee are required for this to be effective. • Always research and become familiar


with the route and highlight points on the map for taking breaks before setting off on your journey. • Remember to check the weather forecast


before a long journey. Adjust timings and arrangements accordingly, as a bad day's weather driving is much more stressful and tiring than good conditions.

here, I am still running my eye over the Alfa’s voluptuous curves. Although it is a shape that undoubt­ edly works better from some angles than others (the front and rear over­ hangs can look a little ungainly in profile), it is still a car that oozes desirability. While this 2.2-litre JTS petrol


engined version may “only” pack 182 b.h.p. under that sleek bonnet and command a hefty £24,500 ask­ ing price, these issues dissolve into the realms of mere carping compared to the endorphin rush you will get every time you clap eyes on this Alfa. Rear seat space is most generously


described as token and it is here that the Alfa may well drop sales to less


alluringly-shaped cars. It is, effec­ tively, a two-seater with space to chuck a couple of bags, but the upside is that the 300-litre boot is bigger than most direct rivals and usefully proportioned too. This 2.2-litre petrol engine is likely


to be the big seller and it is a very slick power plant, if not hugely rapid in this installation.

Alfa Romeo predicts that it will


take 60% of UK sales and it is not hard to see why. The 185 b.h.p. engine returns a decent 30.1 m.p.g. fuel figure and emissions are not unreasonable at 221g/km. It will get to 60 m.p.h. in 8.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 138 m.p.h. It is a decent piece of engineering, although one emerges wondering if a
