A car that won't start can be a big pain especially when the driver is trying to get somewhere quickly. Sometimes the reasons why the car will not start are mechanical. Here are three possible culprits that could be preventing a car from starting.
If a car was made after the mid 90s, chances are it has a transponder key. A transponder key is a key that has a chip that emits a signal to the car's computer. If it's the right signal, then the computer will allow the car to start. However, if the key is damaged and the right signal is not being emitted, then the car will not start. Transponder keys are meant to be a form of theft prevention. However, when they malfunction, a trip to the locksmith is necessary. A locksmith will be able to either reprogram the key or obtain a new one that will work with the car.
Another surprising reason why a car may not start is dirt and grime. Over the years ignition locks can actually get pretty dirty as dust and dirt collects within. The lock can also have problems if it lacks lubrication. If a car will not start or has trouble start, this may be the problem. The solution is often just some routine maintenance and a trip to the locksmith. A locksmith can clean and lubricate the lock and make it easier for the key to turn. Sometimes drivers may think the problem is with the key instead of the ignition lock. If unsure, the driver should try to use a spare key before getting their ignition lock cleaned. If the spare key does not work, then the problem may be with the ignition lock.
Another reason why a car won't start is a problem with the battery. If the car is cranking but not starting, then the problem is most likely a dead battery and not an issue with the keys or ignition. A bad connection to the battery caused by corroded wires will lead to a completely silent car when the key is turned. This is a problem that should be immediately addressed by a mechanic.
A car that won't start is something that every driver dreads. There are many different reasons why a car may not start. Some possible problems include a faulty transponder key, a dirty ignition lock, or a problem with the battery.


Boy, people are upset over that Volkswagen thing. It seems 11 million cars world wide are affected by VW's gaming of the system to confirm cars are meeting emissions standards. Software made the cars run under strict emissions standards when being tested but not so much when actually out on the open road. The thing is that's pretty damn clever. Granted, clever in the service of EVIL but still. It's like in Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin would come up with some convoluted scheme involving robotics or time travel to get out of homework or cleaning his room. In the time it took to work out the details of his plan, Calvin could've finished his homework or cleaned his room. In the time and effort it took VW engineers to figure out how to trick the emissions test, those same engineers could've figured out a way to make their cars compliant with emissions tests.
Instead Volkswagen is now or will be subjected to recalls, fines, class action lawsuits, a loss of sales and damaged credibility. It's that last one it's hard to put a price tag on but it's the most valuable asset a company can have. And of all the car companies in the world, VW had a lot of goodwill with a lot of consumers. As the frequent victim of my daughter's games of Punch Buggy, I know there are A LOT of VW Beetles out there.
And this is the thing that bothers me whenever any company gets caught doing something like this. Are the rewards for cheating the system or cutting corners or not meeting standards really worth the potential costs? I don't know how much money VW made or saved with each car that was tricked out to avoid accurate emissions testing but consider the costs to the company for their actions. Not just in the out of pocket expenses for fixing the problem, paying fines and settling lawsuits but in the costs to reputation. How many sales will be impacted by this scandal? Not just sales lost but those made with deep discounts to entice a customer to stay with Volkswagen.
Yet time and time again, companies will do this, engaging in a practice to reduce costs and increase profits that ultimately does more damage than good, costs more money that is made, perhaps even affecting that company's ability to stay in business.
I don't think Volkswagen is in mortal danger but its reputation for building a dependable and economical car that is also environmentally friendly has taken a big hit and it's a cost that outweighs whatever gains they were seeking. Really, VW, what the fahrvergnugen were you thinking?
Everyone be good to one another. I'll be back with another post tomorrow.

TyreSafe’s stance on part worn tyres remains unmoved, and this video illustrates why. It is a simple fact that part worn tyres are not as safe as new tyres because inadequate tread depth will decrease the grip of a tyre, especially in wetter conditions.
It is not only tread depth that affects tyres and highlights the dangers of driving with these but also the condition of tyres when bought. As this video demonstrates, tyres may be sold with nails embedded in them, cuts or bulges, or even chunks missing.
Investigations by TyreSafe and Trading Standards show over 93% of part worn tyres are not compliant with the law. Between a third and half were found to have defects which made them unsafe to use, a shocking statistic.
Objectives and targeting
Although it is not illegal to sell part worn tyres, the law is very clear about the status and condition that second-hand tyres should adhere to. TyreSafe has campaigned for twelve years to spread awareness and educate retailers and consumers on the importance of tyre safety.
We encourage consumers and retailers to think about buying and selling part worn tyres respectively because of the risks to motorists.

When it comes to emergency situations, it’s important to be prepared for the unexpected. Whether you find yourself trapped in a car after an accident or in a dangerous situation, knowing how to break a car window quietly can be a lifesaver.
In this article, we will explore the reasons why breaking a car window quietly is important and discuss the tools and techniques you can use to accomplish this task.
By the end, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to handle such a situation if it ever arises.
Why it’s important to break a car window quietly
Break a car window quietly is essential in emergency situations for several reasons.
First and foremost, it allows you to escape without drawing unnecessary attention to yourself.
This can be especially important if you find yourself in a dangerous or life-threatening situation where remaining unnoticed is crucial.
Additionally, break a car window quietly can help you avoid causing further damage to the vehicle or injuring yourself in the process.
By using the right tools and techniques, you can minimize the risk of harm while still achieving your goal of escaping the vehicle.
Tools and techniques for quietly break a car window
To break a car window quietly, you’ll need to have the right tools and knowledge.
One of the most effective tools for this task is a spring-loaded center punch. This small handheld device is designed specifically for breaking tempered glass, which is commonly used in car windows.
The spring-loaded mechanism provides the necessary force to shatter the glass with minimal noise. Another tool you can use is a ceramic spark plug.
By removing the porcelain part of the spark plug and striking the window with the exposed ceramic, you can create a small crack that will quickly spread and break the glass.
When using these tools, it’s important to aim for the corners or edges of the window, as these areas are the weakest points. Additionally, applying pressure while striking the glass will help increase the chances of breaking it.
Remember to cover your hand with a cloth or glove to protect yourself from any potential injuries caused by shattered glass. By using the right tools and techniques, you can break a car window quietly and efficiently.
The easiest way to break a car window quietly
If you find yourself in an emergency situation and need to break a car window quickly and quietly, there is an easy method you can use. Locate the headrest of one of the seats and remove it from its position.
Take the metal prongs of the headrest and insert them into the gap between the window and the door frame. With a quick and forceful motion, push the headrest towards the window.
The combination of the metal prongs and the force applied will create enough pressure to break the glass. This method is effective because it utilizes the strength of the headrest and requires minimal tools or preparation.
How to break a car widow from outside
In some emergency situations, you may find yourself outside the vehicle and need to break a car window from the outside. While it may seem like a challenging task, it is possible with the right technique.
One method is to use a glass-breaking hammer or a rescue tool specifically designed for breaking car windows. These tools have a pointed tip that can easily penetrate the glass when struck with force.
Aim for the corners or edges of the window and deliver a strong blow to break the glass. Remember to wear safety gloves and goggles to protect yourself from any flying glass shards.
How hard is it to break a car window?
Breaking a car window may seem like a daunting task, but in reality, it is not as difficult as it may appear. Car windows are typically made of tempered glass, which is designed to shatter into small, dull pieces when broken.
This makes it easier to break compared to other types of glass. With the right tools and technique, breaking a car window can be achieved with a moderate amount of force.
It’s important to note that the corners and edges of the window are the weakest points and should be targeted when attempting to break the glass.
By using the appropriate tools and applying the right amount of pressure, breaking a car window can be accomplished successfully.
Safety precautions when breaking a car window
While breaking a car window in an emergency can be a necessary action, it’s important to take certain safety precautions to protect yourself and others. Always wear safety gloves and goggles to shield yourself from potential injury caused by shattered glass.
Make sure to position yourself in a way that minimizes the risk of being struck by flying glass shards. Additionally, be aware of your surroundings and ensure that there are no individuals or objects in close proximity to the window you are about to break.
By taking these safety precautions, you can minimize the risk of harm while breaking a car window in an emergency.
Other alternatives to consider in an emergency
While breaking a car window may be the most common method of escape in emergency situations, there are other alternatives you can consider. If the car has electric windows, you can try using a slim jim or a long, flexible object to press the unlock button.
This method requires some skill and may not be effective on all vehicles. Another alternative is to call emergency services and provide them with your exact location and situation.
They can guide you through the process of safely exiting the vehicle or dispatch help to your location. It’s important to remember that each situation is unique, and the best course of action may vary depending on the circumstances.
Tips for preventing emergencies in the first place
While knowing how to handle emergency situations is crucial, it’s equally important to take preventative measures to minimize the likelihood of such situations occurring. Regularly maintain your vehicle to ensure it is in good working condition and address any mechanical issues promptly.
Keep your keys accessible at all times to avoid being locked out of your vehicle. Plan your routes and familiarize yourself with the areas you will be driving through to avoid getting lost or ending up in potentially dangerous locations.
Lastly, always stay alert and focused while driving to reduce the risk of accidents. By following these tips, you can decrease the chances of finding yourself in an emergency situation.
Conclusion on how to silently break a car window
In conclusion, knowing how to quietly break a car window in an emergency is an important skill that can save lives.
By understanding the importance of breaking a car window quietly, having the right tools and techniques, and taking appropriate safety precautions, you can effectively and safely escape a vehicle in emergency situations.
Remember to consider alternative methods of escape and take preventative measures to minimize the likelihood of emergencies occurring in the first place.
By being prepared and knowledgeable, you can confidently handle unexpected situations and protect yourself and others. Stay safe and always be prepared.


At the root of it all (except for mowing the lawn), the issue is the same: eventually, you’re going to need a car. As a single adult, unattached, you might have been able to function fine relying on carpooling and public transit, but with kids now in the mix, a car is a necessity.
Despite this, shopping for cars can seem overwhelming. Not only do you first have to consider the price of cars, but you have to weigh these prices against statistics, reports, and marketing pressures.
As a single parent, there are specific needs to consider along with price. While you begin your car shopping experience, let following factors weigh in with your final decision.
In the United States, there are over six million car accidents every year, and out of the 40,000 people that die in those accidents; 2,000 of those are children under the age of 14. Even if you are a careful driver, accidents can happen. Because you value you and your child’s safety, choosing a safe car should be priority number one. Air bags, headrests, seatbelts, and impact-reductive frame materials should be part of any car you choose.
If you have young children who need child safety or booster seats, having a large back seat with doors that open nice and wide can make your life a whole lot easier. It’s a simple point but serves to belabor. Plus, having some extra space in the backseat can make moving things just a little easier.
Though anti-lock brakes have slowly become more standard over the past decade, they are still listed as an option on many models. If possible, choose the ABS option. Anti-lock brakes give you extra surety in bad weather, and though you should always drive carefully, ABS helps.
Statistics show that seatbelts save lives. You see the commercials on TV and the billboards on the side of the road. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that a well-installed child safety seat and seatbelt can reduce the chance of a child dying in a car accident by 71% for infants and over 50% for toddlers. Locking seatbelts in the front and backseats are absolutely necessary for driver and passenger safety.
Features like OnStar, DVD players, personal heating/cooling systems, and rear-view cameras might cost you a little bit extra, but can make driving a car a whole lot easier (and quieter). If you have the money, let yourself splurge a little for some luxury. Your children will appreciate you for it.
If you buy the right car and maintain it well, it will last you a lifetime. What are other safety features you should consider for you and your child when purchasing a car?

In this press release, we offer essential information to inform consumers about the considerations and processes associated with windshield repair.
When faced with windshield damage, it is crucial to make informed decisions regarding repair or replacement. Patsco Windshield Repair aims to provide clarity on this topic without adopting a sales-oriented approach.
Key Information on Windshield Repair:
- Types of Windshield Damage: Windshield damage can manifest in various forms, including chips, cracks, and scratches. Identifying the nature and extent of the damage is the first step in determining the appropriate course of action.
- Repair vs. Replacement: Not all windshield damage requires a full replacement. Smaller chips and cracks can often be repaired effectively using specialized techniques. However, larger or more severe damage may necessitate a complete windshield replacement.
- Safety Considerations: The windshield is a critical component of a vehicle’s structural integrity and passenger safety. Any repair or replacement must adhere to safety standards and should be performed by qualified professionals.
- Insurance Coverage: It is advisable to review your auto insurance policy to check if windshield repairs or replacements are covered. Many insurance providers offer coverage for these services, which can alleviate financial burdens.
- Repair Process: Windshield repair typically involves cleaning the damaged area, injecting resin into the affected spot, and curing it using ultraviolet (UV) light. This process is usually swift, allowing for prompt use of the vehicle.
- Cost Factors: The cost of windshield repair can fluctuate based on multiple factors, including the type and extent of damage, the vehicle’s make and model, and regional pricing variations. Seeking quotes from reputable auto glass repair shops is a prudent step.
- Certified Technicians: It is crucial to entrust windshield repairs to certified and experienced technicians. Professionals are better equipped to provide high-quality and safe repairs.
- Warranty Information: Inquire about the warranty offered for the repair. Reputable auto glass shops frequently provide warranties that cover potential issues such as further cracking or leakage.
- Timely Action: Small chips and cracks can worsen over time, particularly in extreme weather conditions. Promptly addressing windshield damage can often prevent further deterioration, reducing the likelihood of more costly replacements.
- Regulatory Compliance: Familiarize yourself with any state or local regulations pertaining to windshield repair and replacement. These regulations may include specifications regarding the size and location of damage eligible for repair.
- DIY vs. Professional Repair: While do-it-yourself (DIY) windshield repair kits are available, professional repairs are generally recommended. DIY kits may not deliver the same level of quality and safety assurance as professional services.
- Maintenance After Repair: Following a windshield repair, adhering to maintenance guidelines provided by the technician is essential to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the repair.

To meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations, John Deere has followed a carefully planned approach. They have systematically adopted new technologies and integrated them with their field-proven solutions to meet each regulatory Tier.
John Deere was the first engine manufacturer to widely commercialize cooled EGR and variable geometry turbocharger technologies in off-highway applications, introducing them with the start of Tier 3/Stage IIIA regulations. This process reroutes cooled exhaust gas back into the intake manifold, which reduces oxygen levels, lowers exhaust temperatures, and reduces levels of NOx.
John Deere’s straightforward PowerTech EWX 4.5L engines have 2-valves cylinder heads, high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) fuel systems, and full authority electronic controls. These engines use simple wastegate turbocharging to maintain transient response and peak torque in all operating conditions. The HPCR fuel system provides variable common-rail pressure and higher injection pressures up to 23,000 psi. It also controls fuel injection timing and provides precise control for the start, duration, and end of injection.
Wastegate turbochargers are designed to develop more airflow at lower engine speeds to improve low-speed torque. The wastegate control device bleeds off a portion of the exhaust flow at higher engine speeds. Wastegate turbos deliver improved transient response and higher peak torque without compromising engine envelope size.
These engines utilize a catalyzed exhaust filter that contains a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DOC reacts with exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and some particulate matter (PM). The downstream DPF through a continuous cleaning process called passive regeneration. Passive regeneration occurs during normal operating conditions when heat form the exhaust steam and catalysts within the exhaust filter triggers the oxidation of the trapped PM. If passive regeneration cannot be achieved due to low temperature, load, or speed, the PM is removed using active regeneration-an automatic cleaning process controlled by the exhaust temperature management system. In most cases, filter cleaning does not impact engine operation or require operator involvement.
The use of exhaust filters on engines requires the use of diesel fuel with a sulfur content of less than 15 ppm (ultra-low sulfur diesel or ULSD). John Deere engines operate efficiently with ultra-low sulfur diesel as well as B5 to B20 blends, providing optimal performance and fuel-choice flexibility.

GAP insurance could be the lifeline you need if you owe money on your car in the event it becomes a total loss. General Asset Protection (GAP) insurance covers the difference between the value of your car and the value of a loan, if the value of your car is less than the outstanding loan amount.
When you add GAP insurance, you get the security of knowing that if something happens to your new vehicle, you’re covered. Here’s how GAP insurance could help you.
Why you may need GAP insurance
You may need GAP insurance since the comprehensive section of your standard auto policy only pays what your car is worth at the time of loss. For instance, if you finance a car for $30,000, but its value is only $25,000 at the time you total it, the insurance company will only pay the current value of the auto — $25,000. You’re responsible for the $5,000 left on the loan, or the “gap” between the original car value and the current value. That’s where GAP insurance can help.
GAP insurance may be mandatory as part of a lease or loan agreement with a car dealer, especially if you put down less than 20 percent. According to the Insurance Information Institute, you could also benefit from GAP insurance if you bought a car that depreciates faster than the average vehicles, like a luxury car, or if you rolled over a car loan where you were upside down on the payments.
How much does GAP insurance cost?
Total costs vary for GAP insurance. However, this type of protection generally doesn’t add much to your lease or finance payment, nor to your auto insurance payment, depending on where you secure coverage. A GAP policy from an auto insurer may cost less than buying it from the dealer when it’s included with your collision and comprehensive coverage.
GAP coverage costs can be rolled into a monthly car payment from the dealer. Your auto insurer may add the costs directly into your monthly policy payment. Finally, if you found a third party that only sells GAP insurance, you’ll need to pay them directly.
GAP insurance could make a big difference when it comes to closing the coverage gap.

Choctaw Nation Public Safety Officers Lt. Brant Henry of Atoka, in foreground, and Sgt. Mike Johnson of Durant work a police check point in Atoka, checking for seat belt use among drivers and occupants, as part of this year’s “Click It or Ticket” seat belt enforcement campaign.
Choctaw Nation officers take part in ‘Click It or Ticket’ seat belt campaign
By LARISSA COPELAND
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma
ATOKA, Okla. – The Choctaw Nation Public Safety Department is once again joining up with its Southeastern Oklahoma Traffic Safety Coalition (SOTSC) partners for this year’s “Click It or Ticket” seat belt enforcement campaign.
The operation kicked off with a press event on May 14 at the Atoka High School, and was followed by a police checkpoint to ensure drivers and vehicle occupants were in compliance of the state’s seat belt laws. The checkpoint was operated by Choctaw Tribal officers and law enforcement agencies from Idabel, Hugo, Calera, and Atoka Police Departments, as well as the Atoka County Sheriffs Department and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Eight-hundred-forty-four vehicles passed through during the two-hour checkpoint, resulting in 25 citations and 47 warnings issued to the motorists. Additionally, officers also performed 11 child safety seat inspections and served six warrants.
The main push for “Click It or Ticket” will run from May 21-June 3. Officers will be out both day and night patrolling Oklahoma roadways and running checkpoints to crack down on seat belt violators.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, seat belts are the most effective vehicle safety feature ever invented, yet so many of those hitting the road still fail to buckle up regularly. The goal for this year’s “Click It or Ticket” blitz is to increase the seat belt use percentage of Oklahoma motorists and occupants to at least 90 percent.
Sgt. Johnson checks the backseat of a vehicle stopped at the checkpoint to ensure all occupants were wearing their seat belts.
Lt. Henry explains the seat belt campaign to a driver passing through the checkpoint in Atoka.


With the right skills and auto insurance in Arcadia, your teen driver can stay safe on the roads.
Inevitably, your youthful offspring grow up to be members of society. For most, that journey includes a stop at the DMV to get a driver’s license. Even though they’re on their way to mastering how to drive a car, parents are often filled with nerves, as well as excitement. As a parent, you have the power to equip your teen driver with the right skills to build their abilities and responsibilities. By teaching them useful driving skills and securing reliable auto insurance in Arcadia, your teen can be confident behind the wheel.
Teach Manual Skills
Today’s new vehicles are laden with technology. While this is a good thing for the average adult driver, it is still incredibly important to know how to drive safely without the help of these gadgets. Teach your teen how to reverse without relying on the backup camera and emphasize the importance of checking their blind spot themselves before merging.
Driving at Night
Driving at night has its dangers, even for the most experienced drivers. Teens may not spend any time driving in the dark until they have their license in hand. So that your child knows what to do, spend a bit of time on a weekday night (when the roads tend to be quiet) teaching how to navigate the roads at nightfall. Talk to your teen about the dangers of night-time driving and how to use their headlights properly.
Practice Sharing the Road
Every day we have to share the road with cyclists, pedestrians, and school buses – among other motorists! Ensure that your child knows how to move around cyclists safely and when they should not pass a school bus. Not only will your teenager use these skills regularly – as in, every day – but these skills also enable them to navigate these circumstances on their driving test without any problems.
With your teen behind the wheel, you’ll want to secure reliable auto insurance in Arcadia, California. Visit the local experts at Grand Oak Insurance Agency to get started on a tailored policy.

One of the challenges in the automotive industry is to reduce the carbon emission of manufactured vehicles. This can be done by incorporating light-weight metallic alloys, such as aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys, with more generic automotive modulus often made of high strength steel in order to reduce the total mass of a vehicle. To improve the load bearing capacity of dissimilar joints, optimization of the intermetallic layer thickness and the suppression of interfacial defects are key elements. In this study, a brief review is performed on the recent research progresses on laser joining of aluminum alloy to steel, in terms of different welding technologies including laser keyhole welding and laser welding brazing. Some suggestions were also put forward in the conclusions.
