With the promise of low latency, high speeds, and greater amounts of data transmission, everyone can’t wait for the activation of 5G mobile internet and what it could mean for other technological innovations … such as 5G powered self driving cars!
If you’re not yet familiar with 5G mobile connectivity, the soon to arrive successor of the current 4G LTE standard, check out our other article, 5G: The Next Evolution of Mobile Network Technology.
While automotive adoption of 5G may not arrive in early 2019, with the release of the first wave of 5G enabled mobile devices, when it does it will surely make a huge difference in the way you drive and how autonomous vehicles operate.
What happens when 5G is behind the wheel?
- Unlimited web access on the road
Does your car have a 4G LTE connection onboard? It’s a nifty feature, no doubt, until everyone in the vehicle is using the same network and the speed and signal drops.
With 5G, seven people in an SUV can share the same network without the limitations of 4G. Everyone can stream HD videos while on the road with no problem at all.
- Little to no delays
There’s a reason why it takes a few seconds for your car door to unlock after you trigger it remotely with your phone or smartwatch: 4G requires time to process the amount of information sent over the wireless network.
But due to 5G’s low latency technology, delays are minimized even with the same amount of information needing to be processed. It is also less complicated and more secure than NFC. 5G could also allow web-authenticated car locking and unlocking.
- Better remote monitoring
A 5G connection will give car manufacturers better and quicker access to vehicles so they can draw data for monitoring and future improvements. This is especially vital for electric cars where automakers need to monitor battery levels and other data.
- Connected electric/hybrid cars
With your car, mobile device, and the web linked via 5G, you can remotely monitor battery levels, keep track of the charging status, plan a smart route, and search for charging stations. All these things can be done at a faster pace, too.
And if you’ve ever experienced having your electric vehicle (EV) unplugged without your knowledge, you can put an end to this and catch the culprit in the act.
What is even better is that you will know which charging station you can go to, and whether it is occupied, before you run out of battery.
- Self-driving cars minus the safety driver
Udelv, the creator of the first custom-made autonomous and electric delivery car that travels on public roads, is banking on 5G’s low latency to help remote safety drivers to handle the car from a central data center instead of riding in the vehicle as it makes deliveries.
Right now, a human “safety driver” is required to go with the vehicle while it is still in the testing phase. But 5G’s capabilities can change all this and more.
But what makes this wireless network truly astounding when used with a fleet of autonomous trucks and vehicles is the numerous possibilities it brings. Self-driving vehicles will be able to communicate with one another and with other infrastructures seamlessly. This will eliminate input lag, and cars can move simultaneously and in formation. Any traffic inefficiency is then reduced.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our 2015 raffle, we were lucky enough to sell all of the tickets this year. Our very excited winner, James Buick, can’t wait to pick up his 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang. Here’s what he had to say:
“This is completely amazing and so amped! I have always been a Mustang guy and to have a Shelby Mustang, words are at a loss right now.”

Solberg underlines commitment to Subaru by signing until 2009
21 June 2006
As part of a renewed driver contract announced today, Petter Solberg will continue to drive for the Subaru World Rally Team until at least 2009.
The 31-year-old Norwegian and his 42-year-old Welsh co-driver Phil Mills joined Subaru during the 2000 World Rally Championship season. Since then, Solberg has claimed 13 WRC rally victories, 30 WRC podium finishes and the 2003 FIA Drivers’ Championship title.
Subaru World Rally Team managing director Richard Taylor said: “We’re delighted that Petter will remain at Subaru, it is great news for the team. Over the past six seasons we’ve developed a very strong relationship with Petter and he has become a great ambassador for Subaru and the sport in general.
“We’ve had a difficult start to this WRC season and our recent performance has fallen below the standards we set ourselves, but Petter’s decision is the clearest endorsement of our ability to get things back on track. We are confident that we’ve got the right technical direction now. We have a good plan and are looking forward to making ourselves fully competitive again over the next few months and then developing a new car for the longer term. Petter believes, like we do, that we can give him the best opportunity of winning his second and hopefully his third World Championship titles in the near future.”
Solberg said: “Well, first of all the aim is to win - that’s the main thing. That’s what I want and the team wants too. Okay, it’s been a difficult situation recently and we haven’t won as much as we want, but I’ve seen the plan and the strategy and how things are going to work out. That’s why I’m feeling very positive about signing for Subaru again - I know that they have always been in the top of this sport and they will be back at the top and start to win rallies again very soon. It is a difficult situation at the moment but that’s how it is sometimes, there are ups and downs and when things are going badly it’s very easy to run away, but that’s not me. I want to stay and get back to the top again with the people I was on top with before.”
Subaru manufacturer principal Toshi Azuma said: “It is very important for Subaru to have another three seasons with Petter and we are very positive about our future prospects in the World Rally Championship. Petter developed his driving career with Subaru, in 2003 he became the WRC drivers’ champion with us and now we want to give him the opportunity to develop further. He has also been closely involved in Subaru’s road car development over the years. Because he understands what it takes to develop road cars, he performs his role perfectly. His enthusiasm and personality has a positive effect not only to the rally team but to Subaru supporters around the world.”

What is the cheapest way to insure a car to get it out of a police pound?
The choice is usually between buying a conventional yearly policy if you intend to keep the car, or getting a short-term one, then either selling the car or making a SORN declaration so you can lay it up until finances improve.
There is also a third possibility. You could sell the car to someone else with a good driving record who could then perhaps get a cheaper policy than you could. You would lose the car but at least you would get something back for it instead of watching it be crushed for scrap or sold at auction by the police. All these methods have both advantages and disadvantages.
Buying a conventional policy
Most people whose cars have been impounded, as a result of the driver being uninsured, didn't insure them because the premiums were simply more than they could afford. Most of these drivers will now have to pay even more for their policies because they will be facing a charge of driving without insurance, or they will already have accepted a penalty from the police, which is likely to be a £300 fine with six penalty points. Money will be even shorter than usual.
You could still use your favourite price comparison site to shop for the cheapest quotation. However you would have to tell the insurance company if you have been given a fixed penalty for driving without insurance, or are facing a court appearance to answer that charge. To fail to do so would constitute fraud which is a criminal matter. Furthermore it is highly likely that, if you present a conventional policy at the pound, the staff will check up with the insurance company to make sure that you have declared the situation accurately.
Unfortunately once the insurer is made aware of the fact that the car has been impounded and you have had, or are likely to have, a conviction for DVLA Code IN10, using a vehicle whilst uninsured against third party risks, either the premium will increase substantially or cover will be refused completely.
Buying short-term car insurance
1-28 days car insurance policies almost inevitably exclude using them to get a car out of a police pound but it makes no difference; the police will not accept them for that purpose anyway. The absolute minimum they will accept are standard policies which run for a minimum of 30 days. Fortunately there are insurers who provide these policies, and who are prepared to accept applicants with convictions. For more information see our 30 days impounded car insurance page.
Selling the car to someone else
This will only be accepted by the police if the sale is absolutely genuine so this should be viewed as your last option. There is more information about this on our page about selling an impounded car.
In the end you will need to look at the cost of getting the car out of the pound and compare that to it's value. Which option you take depends upon your own financial situation, and what you intend to do with the car once it is out of the pound.

The Office of Inspector General completed an investigation concerning an allegation that Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport employees were using the airport’s account number at NAPA auto parts stores to obtain a discount towards the purchase of auto parts for their personal use. The results of this investigation are described in the enclosed Report of Investigation.
The investigation into this matter was predicated on a complaint received from the New Orleans Aviation Board (NOAB) Legal Department. The NOAB reported that airport fire department employees were using the Airport’s corporate account number at NAPA auto parts stores to purchase auto parts for their personal use in order to take advantage of the discount offered by NAPA to the airport. Airport management became aware of the issue because a NAPA auto parts store employee had called former Airport Fire Chief Gary Simon Jr. about an auto part that an employee, Shalanda Augillard, had ordered from a NAPA store but forgot to pick it up. The NOAB also reported that the airport fire department chief mechanic, Ed Powell, had a side business repairing vehicles and used the discount often. In addition, Powell may have shared the airport’s corporate account number at the NAPA auto parts stores with other airport employees.

External Antenna Adapter Kit for KNG P Radios
WHAT IS IT?
The external antenna adapter kit is for KNG P Series portable radios to connect the radio to a roof mount antenna outside of a vehicle. The kit includes the BK KAA0801 SMA to UHF Female Adapter, G8PI mag mount base and Sti-Co Flexible Whip Antenna.
- Bendix King KNG-P and KNG-CMD Radios
- Bendix King KNG2-P and KNG2-CMD radios
- Midland STP series radios
- Radios with SMA Female Antenna Jacks
Why you need this:
When using your portable radio from within a vehicle, much of the RF signal is blocked by the enclosure of metal and glass. This kit allows the radio to be connected to a roof mounted antenna on top of the vehicle for better transmit and receive sensitivity. This creates clearer communications while operating a vehicle.
Tunable Whip Antenna, Magnetic Mount and KAA0801 Antenna Adapter


Lachlan Mineeff has made his first visit to South Australia’s brand-new Tailem Bend circuit a memorable one, winning two of the four races in the recent SA Formula Ford Championship round.
After qualifying seventh, the 15-year-old Year 10 Oxley College student improved to fifth in race one, a result he repeated in race two while also setting a the lap record.
Some well-judged setup adjustments to Mineeff’s CHE Racing Formula Ford enabled him to charge to the front of the field in race three, and he finished the weekend with another victory in race four.
While ostensibly a state-level round, the race meeting attracted a number of national competitors, including current Australian Formula Ford Championship leader Hunter McElrea, who were all keen to learn the new track before the national series heads there in August.
Mineeff was elated with the result, and paid tribute to his team, owned by the family of current Porsche Carrera Cup driver and 2015 FFord champ Cameron Hill.
“It was a really positive and encouraging weekend, especially the way we kept improving,” Mineeff said.
“Cameron is really good with the driver coaching, and my teammate Tom Sargent was going well too – we were able to compare data between the two cars, which allowed us both to learn from one another.
“It’s an exciting track to race on – the main straight is very long, which means there’s lots of slipstreaming and swapping positions.
“In race three, I passed three cars at once and in race four, I went from fourth to first on the very last lap. Some of the spectators were talking about how entertaining it was to watch. The facilities are amazing and I can’t wait to race there again in August, in front of the Supercars crowd.”
Mineeff now faces a long break before his next race meeting, round four of the Australian Formula Ford Championship at Melbourne’s Sandown Raceway, on July 20-22.
Round Results Summary
- Qualifying: 7th
- Race 1: 5th
- Race 2: 5th
- Race 3: 1st

For many the concept of carrying their particular motorhome conversion is attractive — you are able to customise your automobile to get precisely what you desire and it may be an enjoyable process also.
But a sizable project like this requires some careful attention, so here are the top tips to make sure it runs smoothly:
As soon as you believe you’ve discovered the ideal base automobile, it is crucial that you take it outside for a test drive and be certain you’re pleased with the way it manages. It is also important to take into consideration how comfy it’s is since you might be spending a great deal of time driving it, and take your tape measure along to double assess there is room for all that you require it to home.
It is rewarding test driving a couple of distinct streets, so if you can take it on country lanes in addition to bigger roads and examine just how simple it is to park.

Ever see a key or a lock with a number stamped on it like FS332, FA5212, or 61543? Those
are called key codes. They tell those who know how exactly how to cut a key to fit the lock,
without ever having to see the lock or an original key themselves.
Types of codes:
Direct digit codes. Each digit corresponds to each cut on the key. The value of each digit tell
how deep to make the cut. Some old American and some foreign keys are direct digit. These
codes have the same number of digits as there are cuts in the blade of the key.
Interpreted codes. For these mathematical tricks are used (for example you must subtract 124
from the code), then you end up with the direct digit code above. On these you've got to know
the method of interpreting the code for that key. Mostly people just look it up in a reference
Code Book. The code provided is just an index that points to an entry in the book. The entry
lists the numbers for the cuts that need to be made, as in the direct digit code. There are
hundreds of different key codes in use just for automobiles.
Interpreting the code
Once you've interpreted the code, there's still the matter of how you use it. This requires a
guide to the depth and spacing of the cuts to be made in the blade of the key. There are key
cutters that you just set for your key type and cut to the numbers, but there are so many types
of keys available, even for cars, that it's not practical (and may not be possible) to have a
setup for every key made. Then you need to use a depth and space guide. This gives the
depth of the cut to be made for each depth number, and the spacing between cuts. Each code
has a depth & space guide, although many codes share the same guide.
Finding the code.
Finding the code can be a chore. If you have original keys, sometimes it's printed on the keys. If you have aftermarket keys made by Ilco, Dominion, Taylor, Silca, or any other aftermarket manufacturer, the numbers on the key are the manufacturers part number for the blank and have nothing to do with the code. Sometimes the code is stamped on the lock, but most often these are part numbers for the lock itself.
Sometimes it's not on the vehicle at all. Sometimes it's in the owner's manual or on other
documents that would have been provided to the original owner. Keep in mind that keys often
have other numbers besides codes on them, locks have part numbers on them that have
nothing to do with the code, and just because someone wrote a number down in the manual
doesn't mean it's the key code. Check with us before ordering a key cut to a code! Fully half
the people who don't enter something not even resembling the key code.
For some vehicles the code can be gotten from a dealer or the manufacturer. For instance, for
many classic British cars (except Jaguar), the British Motor Heritage Trust can research your
vehicle and issue a build certificate that will usually have the key codes on it. Mercedes Benz
owners can try the Mercedes Benz Classic Center.
If you fill out our key request form, we can suggest places to look based on your
manufacturer, year and model type.
We can not determine key codes or cut keys based on the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
Although there are services that will supply that infomation to locksmiths, we don't use them.
They usually require that the owner of the vehicle give verbal permission to divulge the code,
and don't cover cars earlier than 1990. This makes them useless to us, since we only cover
cars made before 1990.

How to Care for Your Motorcycle? – You either love them or you hate them, and it is not just those that own them who love them. Motorcycles appeal to the many, whether it is due to their grace, speed, or freedom that they offer. However, if you have your own motorcycle, you must make sure that you look after it properly and treat it with the respect it deserves.
Table of Contents
#1 Keep It Clean
Although after a while it may seem like a bit of a bind, you must keep your motorcycle clean. Washing, polishing, and taking care of the chrome work, gives you time to check it over for any scratches, rust, or areas that you find need attention that you may have inadvertently missed from just having a glance now and then.
#2 Carry Out Safety Checks
With this, it is a good idea to carry out safety checks, and you may even have to get yourself a willing helper, especially when it comes to checking brake lights and turn signal lights to make sure that they work. You should also carry out regular brake tests and make sure that all your instruments are working well.
With so many accidents on the roads that involve motorcycles worldwide, it is silly to put yourself at risk by not spending a few minutes of your time making sure that your motorcycle will not let you down and that other motorists will see you.
#3 Preparing It for Garage Check-Ups
Your motorcycle will inevitably have to visit your local mechanic from time to time, whether this is in regular check-ups for insurance and road tax purposes, or whether it is because it requires a bit of additional work to be carried out.
Where possible, you should ensure that your motorcycle has a good amount of fuel in the tank so that if the garage you need to take it has to have it running or take it elsewhere for additional checks, cleaning, or work that they can, and you will still have enough juice to get you back home or at least to the nearest gas station.
Of course, there may be times when, unfortunately, your motorcycle will not run, and in these times, you could opt to have a mobile mechanic come to your location to suck at his teeth and shake his head a few times or you could opt for some reliable motorcycle transport to get your beloved motorcycle to the garage that you trust the most and already have a report with.
To Wrap It All Up
It is a good idea to take good care of your investment by keeping your motorcycle clean. This will help you take the best care possible of it and make it last that much longer. Carrying out regular safety checks will not only help other motorists see you and your intentions while you are on the road, but it could also save your life.
When it comes to keeping your motorcycle on the road, using your own trusted mechanic, and keeping them happy to view and work on your machine is a must, even if it means hiring the services of a business that offers motorcycle transport to get your motorcycle to them.

I purchased a Merc C Class from Stockport Motorhouse a couple of weeks ago. I have to say it was a very positive experience. The sales approach was very much a "no pressure to buy" situation and Trevor's relaxed and knowledgeable demeanor made it easy to navigate the choices of cars available. I went looking for a Volvo and test drove a V60, I just didn't feel the spark. Trevor recommended the Mercedes Benz C class, which met all my requirements in a car and the test drive was amazing and fun. The car is in great shape and very clean and drives like a dream. The price was right and the dealer was transparent and straight forward about the process. This dealer has a well earned reputation for for being fair and honest. I'm sure to return the next time I need a car.

I cannot stress how important it is for parents to make sure their children are properly restrained while in a moving vehicle, whether in a car seat or a booster seat. I also strongly believe that is pertinent that a trained car seat technician (yes -- a professional) checks your car seat(s) and/or booster seats(s) to make sure they are not only properly installed, but that you are using them correctly when your children are present. Thankfully, through the agency I work at, a friend/co-worker is a trained car seat technician and not only checked my car seat, but made sure I knew how to correctly restrain my infant son into it. It isn't as easy as it seems and I more often than not, see parents improperly restraining their children into their car seats.
That being said, here are some important guidelines about infant car seat safety:
· For the best possible protection, keep your baby in a rear-facing child safety seat in a back seat for as long as possible - up to the height or weight limit of the particular seat. The "12 months and 20 pounds" rule that many parents cite when turning their child forward-facing in the car is actually the minimum size and age requirement for that change. New recommendations suggest that children remain rear-facing to age 2.
· Keep a baby rear-facing in a convertible seat until he or she reaches the maximum height or weight allowed by the manufacturer. For many children that will be 30, 35 or even 40 pounds. Many kids will be over age 2 when they reach that weight. Rear-facing occupants are safest.
· Use your baby’s car seat rear-facing and semi-reclined to no more than 45 degrees, so the baby’s head stays in contact with the seat and the baby’s airway stays open. Read the car seat instructions.
· Make sure the buckled harness straps that keep your baby properly positioned and secured in the car seat fit snugly. Loose harness straps don’t provide maximum protection. Be sure the harness is tight enough that you cannot pinch webbing at the shoulder.
· Position the shoulder straps through the slots at or below your baby’s shoulders.
· Adjust the chest clip to armpit level.
· Use either the car’s seat belt or LATCH system to lock the car seat into the car. Do not use both systems at the same time.
· Your car seat should not move more than one inch side to side or front to back. Grab the car seat at the safety belt or LATCH path to test it.
· Every car seat has an expiration date. Generally, it is six years from manufacture. Many have the expiration date stamped on the seat. Contact the manufacturer of your specific seat to find out what its expiration date is.
· Never buy a used car seat if you do not know its full history. Never use a car seat that has been in a crash. Avoid seats sold at flea markets or yard sales or online.
· Do not use any products that did not come from the manufacturer in or with the car seat. Car seat fabrics meet strict fire safety codes.
· Add-on toys can injure your child in a crash.
· Find the frontal airbags in your vehicle by checking the owner’s manual. Never put a rear-facing car seat in front of an active frontal airbag. Children are always safest in a back seat.
· Have your car seat checked by a currently certified child passenger safety technician to make sure it is properly installed.
· Never leave a child alone in a vehicle - not even for a minute.

Safe Kids Greater Sacramento
The site has made it very simple to navigate through safety tips for children in various age categories and applicable to at home, at play or on the move.
Also, if your child is 8 years of age or younger, please read the important information below regarding the LAW in California around booster seats.
In passing the new booster seat law, which will extend the current law by requiring children to ride in booster seats in the back seat until their 8th birthday, California joins more than 37 other states with strong booster seat laws. The law, which was co-sponsored by the California Coalition for Children’s Safety and Health, Safe Kids California, and California State Alliance of YMCA’s, mirrors the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Seat belts are designed for the average adult male, and do not properly fit a child who is not at least 4’9” tall. Children in the 6-7 year old age group are particularly at risk because they may be too big for many child safety seats and yet too small to fully benefit from seat belts. A booster seat raises the child to reposition the seat belt properly so that the lap belt lies snugly across the upper thighs rather than the stomach. The shoulder harness should lie snug across the shoulder and chest – the strongest part of the child’s body – and not cross the neck or face.
Auto collisions are the leading cause of death for children ages 4-12 and one of the leading causes of injury and disability. Parents who want to keep their children safe will check the law to ensure they are doing what is required to help avoid injury in case of an accident. We have long felt that it is a dangerous disservice to California parents to lead them to believe that by following the current law – which requires children up to six years old or sixty pounds to ride in a child restraint device in the back seat – they are doing what’s best to safeguard their children, when the data shows us otherwise. The fact is that using a booster seat, instead of a seat belt, reduces a child’s risk of injury by 59%.
The new law, which will extend protection to 6 and 7-year-olds, goes into effect January 1, 2012. Acknowledging that seat belts fit a taller child appropriately, the new law includes a provision that a child under 8 years of age who is 4 feet 9 inches in height or taller may be properly restrained by a safety belt rather than a child safety seat or booster seat. To maximize safety, parents should select a car seat based on their child’s age and size, choose a car seat or booster that fits in their vehicle, and use it every time. Parents can check for car seat check-up events in their area to get help from trained safety technicians on proper installation and fit for their child.
A Safe Kids Trauma Coordinator commented, the new law will “protect hundreds of children every year from intra-abdominal injury, lumbar chance fractures, or multi-system trauma from ejection due to inappropriate restraints.” We know the new law will save lives and we are elated!
Please share this information with your families and friends and help educate folks on car seat and booster seat safety!

Arrival at Palace of Fine Arts Marks the end of the Road Trip Century Celebration; a 34-day, 3,500+ mile road trip across the country that followed Edsel Ford’s 1915 journey from Detroit to San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (Aug. 19, 2015) – In celebration of the Centennial of the Panama Pacific International Exposition and a century of road travel across America, the Historic Vehicle Association (HVA) joined automotive and 1915 World’s Fair enthusiasts at the Palace of Fine Arts today, to welcome the arrival of a historic 1915 Ford Model T, after it traveled more than 3,500 miles, recreating the amazing cross country journey that Edsel Ford took one hundred years ago.
The purpose of the trip was to elevate national awareness concerning the importance of our nation’s automotive heritage and the role of the Ford Model T in shaping America. The HVA road trip was both a celebration and important heritage fieldwork regarding the birth of a century of American road trips.
In the summer of 1915, 21-year-old Edsel Ford, the only son of Henry Ford and six boyhood friends were among the thousands of Americans that took to the road to visit the west and the world’s fair exposition in San Francisco. At the PPIE, the Ford Motor Company had one of the most popular exhibits at the fair – a working Model T assembly line that produced about 18 cars each afternoon and more than 4,000 Model Ts during the course of the World’s Fair. The whereabouts of the original Edsel Ford Model T is not known.
The Panama Pacific International Exposition was widely promoted and provided the impetus for many automobile owners to make adventurous cross country tours using early “national” highway systems from east to west.
HVA’s “Road Trip Century Celebration” was launched on July 17th with a HVA driving team using a refurbished 1915 Ford Model T similar to the one Edsel Ford drove, following his epic 1915 journey from Detroit to San Francisco. HVA collaborated with the Antique Automobile Club of American Library, the California Historical Society and PPIE100, to plan and recapture this amazing historical journey.
“The trip has provided the HVA team with a greater appreciation of the development of our national road system and those early pioneers who experienced cross-country travel by automobile,” said Mark Gessler, President of the Historic Vehicle Association. The excitement and enthusiasm of all the people we met as we traveled through small cities and towns was a wonderful experience. The smiles, the memories and the Model T stories we heard made this trip very special.”
Throughout the journey the HVA met with historians, heritage specialists, preservationists and academic experts to help trace the origins of the American road trip.”
Edsel Ford’s trip was extremely well documented with nearly 200 photographs and daily journal entries. The HVA considers it one of the most well documented early American road trips done purely for pleasure.
He traveled through developing roads that were deemed “drivable” at the time. And, for the first time, one could consider a cross-country trip via the automobile.
“Edsel Ford’s cross-country journey is symbolic of how the PPIE brought out the amazing spirit, enthusiasm and innovation of so many people,” said Phil Ginsburg, General Manager of the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, which is overseeing the City’s PPIE100 celebration. “We are so proud to welcome the HVA to San Francisco as it concludes this epic journey to recreate what was an important milestone with historical significance from 1915.”
In recreating Edsel Ford’s journey, the HVA’s Road Trip Century Celebration traveled in the Model T to many historic sites on its way to San Francisco, including the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, the El Vaquero Harvey House (Dodge City, Kan.), the Summit House at Pikes Peak, the Petrified Forest National Park and the Grand Canyon National Park. The HVA followed the National Old Trails Highway route from Detroit to Los Angeles. Portions of the National Old Trails Road later became Route 66.
“Edsel Ford’s road trip is one example of the lure of the PPIE that was seen and felt across the country and around the world,” said Dr. Anthea Hartig, Executive Director, California Historical Society. “In 1915, America was at the dawn of a new age of connectivity and the automobile was at the forefront of this shift in society. We are thrilled to participate in the conclusion of the Centennial Road Trip and to honor the enduring legacy of the PPIE.”
About the Historic Vehicle Association (HVA): The HVA is dedicated to preserving and sharing America’s automotive heritage. In 2014 the HVA established the National Historic Vehicle Register program working with the U.S. Dept. of the Interior and Library of Congress to document historically significant automobiles in America’s past. The HVA supported by nearly 400,000 individual historic vehicle owners and corporations such as Shell Oil Products U.S., Quaker State, Hagerty, Ford Motor Company as well as individual benefactors. The HVA is grateful to all those that have donated their time and resources to make the 2015 Road Trip Century program possible.
About PPIE100: February 20, 2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE), the World’s Fair celebrating the completion of the Panama Canal and showcasing San Francisco—its recovery from the ashes of the 1906 earthquake and fire and its world trade potential. Throughout 2015, the PPIE100, a citywide consortium of cultural, civic, and historical organizations, will conduct centennial programs, events and exhibitions to commemorate the PPIE’s historical significance and to reflect on its legacy, all collaborating on what San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee described as “a uniquely San Francisco way to celebrate a centennial—to focus on then, now and the future.” PPIE100 organizing partners include the California Historical Society, Innovation Hangar, Maybeck Foundation and San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. AT&T is the presenting sponsor with other major support provided by Hearst Corporation, Wells Fargo, Ford, Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation and Sterling Bank/Seligman Family Foundation.

Embarking on a new life in Canada comes with many exciting opportunities and experiences, and getting your Canadian driver’s license is often a key milestone. Whether you’ve recently arrived or are planning your move, this comprehensive guide will equip you with all the information and tools you need to obtain a Canadian driver’s license. So, buckle up, and let’s get started on your journey to driving freedom.
Understanding the Canadian Licensing System
Provincial and Territorial Variations
One important aspect to be aware of is that driver’s licenses in Canada are regulated by provincial and territorial governments. This means that the process for obtaining a license may differ slightly depending on where you reside. Nevertheless, the general principles remain the same, and our guide will provide you with the essential information for each jurisdiction.
Graduated Licensing Programs
Canada employs a Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) in most provinces and territories. The GLP is designed to ensure that new drivers gain experience and skills gradually, reducing the risk of accidents. The process typically involves a series of tests, including written and road exams, over the course of two stages: the learner’s permit and the probationary license.
How to Obtain a Canadian Driver’s License
Step 1 – Determine License Equivalency
For many immigrants, the first step is to determine whether their existing driver’s license can be exchanged for a Canadian license without additional testing. This is possible if you hold a valid license from a country with a reciprocal agreement with the Canadian province or territory in which you reside.
To find out if your country has a reciprocal agreement, contact the local driver’s licensing authority in your province or territory. If your license can be exchanged, follow their specific guidelines for submitting the necessary documents.
If your country does not have a reciprocal agreement or you do not possess a driver’s license, you will need to go through the full licensing process.
Step 2 – Obtain a Learner’s Permit
The first stage in the GLP is obtaining a learner’s permit. This involves passing a written knowledge test, which covers road signs, traffic rules, and safe driving practices. To prepare for the test, study the official driver’s handbook for your province or territory, available online or in print.
Once you’re ready, visit your local licensing center to take the written test. Some provinces and territories require an appointment, while others allow walk-ins. Bring your identification and any relevant immigration documents, such as your Permanent Resident Card or work permit. There may be a fee associated with the test, so be prepared to pay it at the time of your appointment.
Upon passing the knowledge test, you will be issued a learner’s permit. This permit allows you to practice driving under certain conditions, such as being accompanied by a fully licensed driver. Each province and territory has specific restrictions, so ensure you’re familiar with the rules in your jurisdiction.
Step 3 – Complete a Driver’s Education Course (Optional)
While not mandatory in all provinces and territories, completing a driver’s education course can be highly beneficial. These courses provide valuable instruction on safe driving techniques, Canadian traffic laws, and practical skills. Additionally, taking a certified course may qualify you for discounts on auto insurance and potentially shorten the waiting period before you can take your road test.
Step 4 – Pass the Road Test
Once you have gained sufficient driving experience, you can apply for the road test, which assesses your ability to safely operate a vehicle. You will be tested on various skills,
including parallel parking, three-point turns, and lane changes, among others. It’s essential to practice these maneuvers and become familiar with the specific requirements in your province or territory.
To schedule your road test, visit the local licensing center or book an appointment online. Be prepared to pay the associated fees and bring your learner’s permit and any required documentation. On the day of the test, arrive with a suitable vehicle that meets the safety requirements outlined by your jurisdiction.
During the road test, an examiner will accompany you and provide instructions while assessing your driving skills. It’s crucial to remain calm, follow the rules of the road, and demonstrate safe driving practices. If you pass the road test, you will receive a probationary license, granting you additional privileges and responsibilities as a driver.
Step 5 – Advance to a Full License
After completing the probationary period, which varies in length across provinces and territories, you can apply for a full driver’s license. This may involve paying a fee and, in some jurisdictions, taking a final road test. Upon obtaining a full license, you will enjoy unrestricted driving privileges in Canada.
Tips for Success
Research Your Local Requirements
As mentioned earlier, the process for obtaining a Canadian driver’s license can vary depending on your province or territory. Make sure to research the specific requirements for your location, including the fees, waiting periods, and testing procedures.
To increase your chances of success, take the time to study the official driver’s handbook for your province or territory, practice your driving skills, and consider enrolling in a driver’s education course. Being well-prepared will not only make the process smoother but also help you become a safer and more confident driver.
Obtaining a Canadian driver’s license can be challenging, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the roads and driving culture. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t pass the tests on your first attempt. Learn from your mistakes, continue practicing, and stay committed to your goal.
Acquiring a Canadian driver’s license is an essential milestone for many immigrants, providing increased freedom, mobility, and opportunities. By following the steps outlined in this guide, researching your local requirements, and dedicating yourself to thorough preparation, you can navigate the process with confidence and achieve success on the road.

GM plans to bring back the Hummer — and it'll be electric. General Motors announced Thursday that it will start selling a battery-powered Hummer pickup truck in September of 2021. At least part of the new Hummer will be shown in a 30-second television ad featuring basketball star LeBron James during the second quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl .
GM gave only a few details about the truck, which will be unveiled officially on May 20. It will have a huge battery to generate the equivalent of 1,000 horsepower, and will be able to go from zero to 60 mph (97 kilometres per hour) in three seconds. The Hummer also will produce 11,500 foot pounds of torque, a measure of rotational force that indicates a high towing capacity.

Competition Appellate Tribunal (“Compat”),
by way of its order dated December 9, 2016, upheld the order by the Competition
Commission of India (“CCI” or the
“Commission”) dated August 25, 2014, with minor modifications to the order
and a substantial reduction in the penalties levied. Acknowledging that the
competition law regime in India and the automotive industry are going through a
transitionary process, the Compat reduced the penalty imposed on the appellants,
who are car manufacturers.
CCI had penalised a total of 14 car manufacturers with presence in India, with
a blanket 2% penalty on total turnover of their business. This 2% penalty would
include their individual turnover from their car sales as well as their spare
parts and after-market sales. This was so because the car manufacturers or the original
equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”)
were considered to be causing anti-competitive effects in the spare parts and
after sales and service markets through restrictive agreements. The Informant
had filled the information against Honda Siel Cars Ltd., Volkswagen India Pvt.
Ltd. and Fiat India Automobiles Pvt. Ltd, none of which were party to this
appeal. The Commission, in order to expand its investigation, conducted an
inquiry on other OEMs in India and included them in the final order by the Commission.
Three aggrieved OEMs, namely Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd., Ford India Pvt.
Ltd. and Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd. (“Appellants”),
had availed an appeal through statutory appellate process provided in the
Competition Act, 2002 (“Act”), while other OEMs had approached various high
courts under writ jurisdiction.
Appellants had preferred the appeal on all findings of the Commission, including
in relation to the incorrect expansion of scope of investigation, incorrect
determination of abuse of dominance through vertical agreements by and between
the individual OEMs and their respective overseas supplier, OEMs and Authorized
dealers. The Compat in its order agreed with the Commission and held that the Commission
did not exceed its authority in expanding the scope of investigation. The
Compat, after a lengthy analysis of the contentions of each side, went on to
agree with all the findings of the Commission. In its order, the Compat
reflected on the jurisprudence of intellectual property rights (IPR) vis-à-vis competition
law and focused on two aspects of the Director General’s investigation on the
treatment of agreements under the guise of protecting IPR. The Compat sought to
examine if the agreements were in fact protecting company IPR and if these
rights as they stood were in fact protected by Indian law.
assessing the impugned penalty imposed, the Compat decided to adopt a lenient
view. The definition of ‘turnover’ was discussed and through references to case
law was found to be the turnover of the products subject to inquiry, and not
the turnover of the entire multi-product enterprise. And following the yardstick of relevant
turnover, the Compat ordered a revised 2% of average annual turnover for the 3
years immediately preceding the inquiry penalty on the spare parts markets of
the OEMs. The Compat directed the Commission to obtain relevant statistics and
verify the amount of penalty. This case would therefore provide clarity on
matter where the CCI has over-extended its reach while ordering penalty.
jurisprudence and practice from mature regulatory jurisdictions, and setting
precedent on the scrutiny of vertical agreements/arrangements, this order by
the Compat has cleared much of the uncertainty in dealing with vertical arrangements.

Purchase of a used car is always a challenging task. Whether you need it for work or for personal use, you should pay attention on many things. For this reason, I decided to do a little reminder to help all those friends who read this.
STEP 1 – MONEY
Sit down and decide exactly how much you can afford, taking into consideration the cost of the whole package. Allow for insurance premiums, road tax, MOT, petrol, repairs and servicing. And while you may be able to snap up a classic, prestige or sports car at a great price, in the long run you’ll probably end up paying out more on insurance, fuel, maintenance and repairs.
Investigate your options thoroughly, look at the different grouping bands so that you keep your insurance premium low, check out the cost of a typical repair and compare prices from different organisations.
STEP 2 – YOU GET WHAT YOU SEE
Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people out there, so when going to view a car, ensure:
- You have someone with you to give a second opinion – two pairs of eyes are better than one
- Go during broad daylight – darkness and wetness and can hide a mutilude of sins
- Always meet the seller at their house so you can check they are genuine
- That all documentation tallies up:
- That a private seller’s name and address match those in a Registration Document or log book.
- All the documentation you would expect to find is available such as the Registration Document or log book (V5)
- Receipts for repairs, servicing and insurance records are available
- The vehicle has an MoT certificate (on vehicles over 3 years old)
- Check VIN numbers, registrations, dates, names and addresses and any other details you can cross check
- That the vehicle has a valid tax disk
- There is no outstanding loan on the car, which would make you liable for loan repayments
STEP 3 – TAKE IT FOR A SPIN
Always test drive a car – not just to listen out for strange noises, but to make sure they are no ‘blind spots’ and that the car feel comfortable.
Check the steering, the braking and whether the car ‘pulls’ to one side. How does the engine sound?
TOP TIP: Make sure you are insured to drive the car, either under your own, or the seller’s, policy.
STEP 4 – AN INDEPENDENT VIEWPOINT
If you are confident that the vehicle is in order, it is always good practice to arrange an independent survey by one of the motoring organisations (click here to find out who offers what), and if the seller won’t agree to this, then you have to ask yourself why.
These independent surveys will help find any faults, plus will be able to pin point if the car has been involved in a major accident, then ‘patched up’.
Once the survey has been carried out, you can then decide whether the vehicle is a good buy; whether you need to renegotiate a price..or whether you simply don’t touch it with a barge pole!
