WORLD WIDE WEBB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho among us doesn\u2019t have a frightening road rage story to tell? I know I do. Driving in our country is one of life\u2019s more frustrating \u2013 and dangerous \u2013 experiences. Keeping a cool head while all around you, chaos and a frightening lack of courtesy are unleashed is challenging. But while a horn honked in anger is for most of us the limit of our response, others are overwhelmed by a need for misplaced retribution. And that, sadly, is why we have a road rage crisis.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 John Webb, Executive Producer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keyless Conundrum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a crime so perfectly executed, it\u2019s almost impossible to spot. Thieves are making off with high-end cars and bakkies while their owners blissfully go about their business. Keyless entry cars are hot targets for criminal networks that have evolved globally. In South Africa, car thieves are swapping guns and violence for smart technology that enables them to steal cars without breaking a sweat, or physically confronting owners. And local crime networks are making up for lost time. Carte Blanche exposes the ease of high-tech car thefts that has manufacturers heading back to the drawing board to reverse engineer solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Mist of Road Rage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is that uncontrollable urge to ram your car into another driver\u2019s… The desire to retaliate against big or small offences from other drivers on the road. But not reining in the red mist of anger in traffic can set off a spiral that can be life-threatening. What are the warning signs that could save a life? Carte Blanche examines the rise in road rage and meets people for whom it did not end well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flying Emergency Heroes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not having access to medical evacuation in an emergency \u2013 like a car crash on a remote highway \u2013 can be life-threatening. Enter Helicopter Emergency Medical Services, or HEMS. This high-adrenaline, high-stakes occupation attracts everyday heroes who wait shift after shift for the opportunity to make a difference and potentially save a life. Carte Blanche joins the crew for a day in the life of the highly qualified men and women responding to emergency calls around the country, 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

amaGlug-Glug<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The popular Sasol amaGlug-Glug commercials from the early 90s created fond memories of the brown-eyed boy with the car that came to life, the cute boy in the Formula One pram, and the famous “windy-windy” taxi driver. The iconic ads expanded our urban dictionary and are still voted among the most loved in South Africa. Carte Blanche tracks down the characters and creatives that shaped careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
