Smart Car Drivers take the Relay

fortwo coupe blog2 Smart Car Drivers take the RelayA relay race between drivers of smart fortwo vehicles has reached the UK leg of its tour.

Drivers are taking the pocket sized cars across 10,000 km and have so far been through Italy, France, Spain, Croatia and Portugal.

The tour arrived in Bristol and will take in all of the UK’s biggest cities, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast and Newcastle.

After the European leg, the tour heads into Mexico before moving to the US, Canada, Japan and Africa making it a truly global route.

The race aims to transfer a torch from car to car in order to highlight that smart people drive safely, carpages.co.uk reports. It is hoping to encourage people to avoid drink driving and to drive with respect and care in regard to speed limits.

The new smart fortwo is packed with a number of safety features to ensure that drivers remain safe.

Hydraulic brake assist technology initiates a controlled emergency brake while accelerations skid control stops the rear wheel from spinning by transferring the tractive power to the corresponding wheel.

Hannah is a recent graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University where she got a degree in Mathematics. Doing such an intense degree meant that fun needed to be on the top of the agenda, stand up comedians were right up there at the top of the list to break the tension and relax Hannah whether it was on TV or live in the theatre it didn’t matter. Although, not traditional comedians the presenters of Top Gear keep Hannah laughing, whilst giving Hannah the opportunity to learn about cars. Growing up with 3 brothers forced Hannah into listening about cars, but it was only from working in a car showroom that Hannah learnt what people were talking about when they were talking in ‘car speak’.
