Meet Monique - one of South Africa's best drivers at only 19
This Youth Month, 19-year-old Monique Marais is proving that the best drivers aren't always what you'd expect. Find out how she treats herself for good driving behaviour every 100km!
Monique Marais has only been behind the wheel for two years, but she's already managed to achieve Gold Vitality drive status - making her the youngest ever Discovery Insure driver to do so. Her secret? "Patience," she smiles. "I don't like breaking the rules and am very cautious. I know a lot of accidents happen very quickly and I'm too scared something like that happens to me."
Conscientious and calm, Monique treats herself to a vida e cafe chocolate frio every time she passes the 100km-incident-free mark, because, well - in her words, "It's the best!"
