We at Kempster Durban South had a fun filled day with our clients and Ford SA where we were taught different techniques and Ford Driving Skills for Life. We set up breakfast, started the training and watched a video which we all found very interesting. We were split into groups and the trainers then taught us the different skills and techniques in the vehicles, we were all blown away by the awesome experience and finished the day off with lovely Hamburgers. Some history of  Driving Skills. Ford Established in 2003 by the Ford Motor Company Fund, the Governors Highway Safety Association, and a panel of safety experts created the Ford Driving Skills for Life program (Ford DSFL) which teaches drivers of all ages the necessary skills for safe driving beyond what they learn in standard driving school program. The program is international in scope touching not only South Africa but many areas around the world. The basic premise behind Ford Driving Skills for Life is to provide a step in the learning process, providing new skills and information not currently shared with newly licensed drivers in the basic driver education courses. Training is conducted in a hands-on curriculum and the entire program is available free of charge. Training conducted under the Ford Driving Skills for Life program addresses the inexperience factor as well as issues surrounding distracted driving and fuel efficient driving tips. Results over the past ten years of this effort have been outstanding. Ford DSFL helps drivers improve their skills in four key areas that are critical factors in more than 60% of vehicle crashes including the below activities;

1. Brake distance recognition A.B.S and E.B.D
2. Hi Jack Management
3. 4 X 4 Driving
4. Drunk driving simulation exercise
5. Distracted and Impaired Driving

OUT IN THE WILD

When we launched the New Ranger just over two months ago it was only fitting that we make a date to take this amazing vehicle out on the dirt road for a little fun. And man did we show off? Our fleet department was unable to share in on the fun at our dealer launch therefore making a day specifically for our fleet customers was absolutely key. De Wildt 4X4 Game Farm was the chosen and perfect location, joining us was our partners at Indwe Risk Services our official partners on the day. CMH Ford Hatfield together with Indwe Risk Services invited a total of 30 of their corporate customers out to enjoy this amazing experience. Relevant tracks were identified, and the guests were split into groups of four. We decided to give our corporate customers the best of both worlds by allowing them to drive both the New Ford Ranger 2litre Bi-Turbo Auto and the previous shape 3.2 Ford Ranger XLT Auto. The idea was to highlight some of the differences in the newer model as opposed to the older model. Our clients were blown away by the capability of this amazing bakkie, with the instructors of the day showing off features like the div-lock, traction control etc. If you have not taken time to test drive the New Ford Ranger 2Litre Bi ”“ Turbo, do yourself a favour and book your test drive with us. We promise you that you will not be disappointed! Visit out website for more information:cmhford.test/hatfield/

Texting While Driving? It’s Like Driving with Your Eyes Closed

• Talking on cell phones – handheld or hands-free – affects our driving
• Hands-free devices do not eliminate distraction
• It’s important to abandon hands-free even though the law permits it

Every text and selfies which captures your attention for even a second can diminish your awareness while driving. It can be hazardous to you and those around you. Yes, this kind of negligence can cause an accident and that’s one accident too many. The reality is that every time you pick up your phone while driving, you see and concentrate less. You stop watching your surrounding environment – in front, behind, to the right and left. Your field of vision shrinks. This neglect can even cause you miss what is right in front of you.

Brain drain

Research shows that the brain cannot handle processing two tasks simultaneously effectively. It can switch between the tasks however your reaction time is diminished while these actions are being performed. Many people think they can do two things at once but it’s just not possible to concentrate fully on both simultaneously. Drivers stop monitoring their environment and new drivers in particular aren’t in the habit of scanning the road for hazards. Dividing your attention for even a second makes for an even more dangerous combination. Derek Kirkby, Training Director for Ford’s global Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) programme in South Africa, says: “In my experience of training hundreds of drivers, I’d say that even normal, everyday driving uses around 85 per cent of your mental load. Sending one text or selfie, and even talking with a passenger, can overload the brain while driving – increasing the risk of an accident.” “When you’re using 85 per cent of your brainpower to drive, your mind isn’t capable of doing much else,” adds Kirkby. “Regardless of whether you’re a professional or new to the road – you will be a safer driver if you understand how much of your brain you’re using just to drive the car.”

It is here. The distinctive, All-New Ford Fiesta and I was privileged enough to take the 1.0 EcoBoost Trend A/T for a ride! Yes, it is the International Engine of the year (under 1.0 litre) for the 6th year in a row. And with good reason! It pulls surprisingly good and really has a lot of power for such a small engine whilst remaining Fairley economical.

On the 30th June 2018 Kempster Durban South celebrated the Welcoming of the Whale festival at Brighten Beach, Bluff. It was a buzz of excitement with all sorts of vendors, beach games, rides for the kids, fashion shows and music. Joining us was Gabriel Sithole who is our Ford Wildlife Foundation Brand Ambassador and Stuart Laing from Oceanographic research institute.

This was a very special day for us at Kempster Durban South as we have jumped on board with Sodurba Tourism as a sponsored partner to collect funds to open the old Union Whaling Factory and converting it into a Museum. Fabricon came on board making the Armature which was made of brushed stainless steel and the pupils of Eden Schools got involved with the processing of the recycled bottle tops supplied by the community and SmartMatta and attaching these to bonox fencing panels to create the cladding for the final effect.

All the prepping was done at Eden School, where we had a competition amongst the kids – they were to draw a picture of a whale and we chose the best picture and turned her into a 3-meter sculpture named Destiny. Mike Mc Fadyean did the final design of Destiny and sat with Robin and Jackie from Umcebo designs and put the plan of the whale together.

The Fiesta has never been a dull car to drive and this new-generation model is just as great. It comes with a full house of specification, features and safety and if you pick the right derivative, you could be bagging an accomplished compact car with all the bells and whistles for a reasonable price. Who wouldn’t want to be part of the Ford fiesta family after seeing this beautiful car with mind blowing features such SYNC3 setup features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which we’ve experienced in other contemporary Fords such as the Everest and Kuga, it also integrates Google Maps and supports apps such Spotify.

In the spirit of WOMEN’S DAY, we at CMH Kempster Ford Umgeni headed over to KERR HOUSE- The Durban hospice for abused and destitute women.

Domestic violence, abuse and rape are a few of the many things the women in our local society go through on a daily basis. We decided to take these WONDER WOMEN goodie bags filled with health and hygiene necessities, along with an array of toys and games for the kids.

CMH Kempster Ford Umgeni is proud to have been able to contribute to one of our very own local organisations. KERR HOUSE offers support to women coming from all walks of life. They are dedicated to providing counselling, relief and rehabilitation to the women housed there.

The Ladies at KERR HOUSE invited us in with a warm welcome and big smile, we truly admire the long hours and hard work the social workers and care takers have put into making this shelter a success. We are truly inspired by the level of patience, commitment and dedication put in by the WONDER WOMEN who give their time an effort to this amazing place.

We hope KERR HOUSE continues in their dedicated efforts to help abused women and we wish them growth and prosperity in the future years to come.

“A woman is like a tea bag, you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
