Bay Driver readers are urged to check your speed as Police remind motorists the speed threshold is now reduced to

4km/h until the end of January.Similar to the previous two summer holiday periods, Police will be enforcing the

reduced 4km/h speed threshold from December 1, 2015 to January 31, 2016.This will be backed by a highly visible presence on the nations roads as part of a tar-

geted road safety campaign, which will also feature a strong focus on impaired driving and other high risk behaviour.

National manager of road policing, Superintendent Steve Greally, says this means every driver stopped can expect to be breath tested.

Police want all families to have a great summer that is memorable for the good times, not a summer ruined by the grief of losing a family member to a fatal crash.

Its the loved ones that are left behind that have to carry the pain and devastation a fatal crash causes.

With December 1, also marking the one year anniversary of legislation lowering the adult alcohol limit, Police are encouraged many drivers seem to be getting the message and are deciding not to drive after drinking.

While it is still relatively early days, whats pleasing is that as at the end of October 2015, we have seen almost 2500 fewer drivers caught in the over 400mcg/80mg bracket since the new legislation came in, compared with the same period the previous year.

Thats a really positive sign and we encourage all motorists to keep that up.Steve says Police would be delighted to not issue another infringement throughout the

summer, or to have to knock on the door of loved ones to deliver tragic news.Every police officer dreads having to knock on the door of someones family to tell

them their son, daughter, parent or another loved family member has been needlessly killed in a crash.

Wed also be delighted to never have to issue another infringement, because aside from the fact it actually costs us money to issue notices, it would show that everyone was driv-ing safely and responsibly, and the trauma on our roads would reduce overnight.

The previous two summers marked the two lowest ever recorded number of deaths for a December/January period since records began.

From December 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015 there were 50 road deaths, compared to 42 road deaths the previous year.

By comparison, the worst December-January road toll recorded in the last 25 years was 124 deaths in 1990.

The challenge to all of us on the roads this summer is see an even better result, but we all need to play our part to make that happens, says Steve.

The road safety campaign is backed strongly by Safer Journeys partners ACC, NZ Transport Agency and the Ministry of Transport.

A personal best

The name Everest will invoke signifi cant and special nostalgic feelings amongst Kiwi audiences

in particular with our own local boy, Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepali Indian, Tenzing

Norgay, conquering the worlds tallest peak on May 29, 1953, climbing the South Col route.

Thats a pretty gutsy name for vehicle model here in New Zealand given the marketing on TV, with Sir Eds voice-over and quotes.

Then it reminds me of that line in the movie Top Gun when the Aircraft Carriers Captain says to a young hotshot pilot, Maverick: Your egos writing cheques your body cant cash.

Is this Ford Everest going to live up to its name and the psychological marketing mes-sages? Is the marketing promoting something it wont deliver?

Sales of this Ford model will be global, with the vehicles imported to New Zealand being manufactured in Thailand.

The Everest, Fords most capable SUV, has been clearly designed to compete with other brands in the premium level seven-seat 4WD and all-wheel drive market segment.

Everest will somewhat take over from the seven-seater Ford Territory which has been a good stable seller since 2009.

The Sport Utility Vehicle market is getting more compet-itive, and is a real growth area in the NZ motoring scene.

Families are starting to opt for vehicles which are much more than sedate family wagons. These

vehicles need room to cart friends, sporting/recreational gear, and also be easy to drive around town with all the high tech innovations we will very soon come to expect as standard.

The Everest is fi rmly top of that Ford SUV range touting itself as powerful, capable and refi ned designed with style, function and technology in mind.

Everest can take on premium SUVs in their payload and towing capabilities as well with a 3000kg towing capacity

and up to 643kg cargo payload.It has to be said that it is a

fi ne looking machine both inside and out. The simple lines can be deceptively alluring, but loses nothing of its masculin-ity. Young Maverick may well approve.

This vehicle, with its $88,000-plus price tag, probably wont be the fi rst choice for younger

families. People buying this will usually have some free dollars to spend, or chose this model as their company car.

If youre going out to conquest at business meetings, the rugged outdoors, or just a long-drive out of town in comfort, then Everest will easily tick all those boxes.

At the dealership, just on looks alone, it was quite striking. Having to grab a handle to make it easier to haul myself up and into the drivers seat was a bit exciting I felt like this was the start of an adventure.

As soon as I got in, I felt pretty damn impressed. Every-thing on the dash looked where it should be and you could even personalise it. The ability to load your own picture as a background image on the digital display is a nice touch.

Shortly after while navigating the heavy city traffi c, I realised just how high up I was most other vehicles on the road were well under my commanding viewpoint. A bit like being in a cockpit surveying the scene from high above. It may have something to do with the vehicles 225mm ground clearance and up to 800mm wading depth.

With all the technology on board you have the added peace of mind that the Everest is doing a lot of the thinking for you. But where to take this land-loving vehicle for a test drive, I asked myself.

Since it was made for scaling the heights, I thought the hill

roads near Te Puke would be as good a place as any. Luckily for me, some fresh metal had just been laid on a winding uphill country road so new that it hadnt even been graded. I met the grader team shortly afterward!

The Everest was simply a pleasure. Despite the loose sur-face, it just got on with the job no fuss, no problem just onward. I felt totally in control and had confi dence that the vehicle was doing all the hard work for me.

For those who really want to take advantage of the Everests true off-road ruggedness, the electronic locking rear differ-ential (eLRD) is engaged manually by pushing a button, or automatically via the Terrain Management System.

The diff locks gives optimal driving on uneven surfaces and is used mostly where theres excessive axle travel or where apportioning the drive to both rear wheels is important such as steep bumpy inclines, sand and loose surfaces where its diffi cult to keep the rear wheels on the ground at all times.

Using smart technology, the intelligent Torque on Demand, automatically transfers torque between front and rear wheels to provide maximum traction on-road and off-road. While driving, you can move between 4x4 high and low range by simply pressing a button.

I can imagine that going out into the wilderness miles from anywhere you would feel confi dent in this

beast. And as long as you werent a total idiot, youd be rather safe in terrain you hadnt much former experience in.

The hill launch assist simulates and handbrake start to prevent the vehicle from rolling. The hill descent control regulates downhill speed in steep off-road conditions by automatically applying the brakes.

Youre in control of the steering wheel, but its great to know that so much technology is being employed to make your steep and tricky descents that much easier.

The steering and handling was sensitive. It was only later, while driving back in the city, that I slightly over-steered round a corner and realised just how responsive the steer-ing is, however, at all times the vehicle felt stable leaving me feeling comfortable and confi dent. Rule number one respect the power at your fi ngertips!

Lots of people will dream of owning a Ford Everest its going to be a status symbol for sure.

Its got everything an adventure seeking driver would want. Those whole scale life heights and have a passion for excel-lence, this is one vehicle that would have to be considered.

The Everest wont be for everybody but it will be a winner for those who require that special something that stands out from the ordinary. By Driver D
