The conference, which took place on the 8th and 9th of September 2017, was held during International Drive Electric Week (9-17 September).
As the exclusive operator and distributor of ChargePoint technology and hardware for Australia and New Zealand, Visionstream were proud for ChargePoint to be a key sponsor and exhibitor at this exciting Conference. ChargePoint operates the world’s largest and most open electric vehicle (EV) charging network, with their New Zealand footprint set to grow quickly, as the uptake of EV driving and EV fleets continue to increase.
Richard Kelleway, CEO Visionstream, along with the ChargePoint team, attended the successful two-day event in Auckland, New Zealand, with approximately 50 fellow exhibitors. The team met with industry peers and discussed the future of Electric Vehicle Charging technology and hardware with over 200 professional delegates on the first day and around 2000 public delegates on the second day of the conference. ChargePoint presented its CP4300 Type 2 cable attached AC station, for businesses, multi-family residences and fleet charging solutions.
As a national event bringing together New Zealand’s entire EV industry, EV World aimed to propel the private and public community into the ‘EV future’ and turn conversations into action. With a robust program of EV industry representatives, adjacent industry representatives and EV technology supporters and investors; delegates heard from fleet managers, government agencies, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, technology providers and energy companies in a series of seminars and workshops.
On the first day of the conference, business owners, fleet managers and decision makers in businesses were encouraged to discover more about EV technology and to experience and evaluate EVs for their own organisations. During the second day, the general public and green-transport enthusiasts were dazzled by the latest EV models, technology and related products. The event was a prime opportunity for ChargePoint to share the latest in EV Charging technology and innovation.
The team were overwhelmed with New Zealand’s passion for green technology and their keenness to adopt EVs on a broad scale. We look forward to watching the New Zealand EV market expand and being an integral part of this industry growth over the coming years.

These invisible zones extend to the front, back, and both sides of these colossal vehicles. Countless accidents unfold when smaller vehicles find themselves unwittingly traversing the treacherous territories of a large commercial truck’s no-zone. An experienced truck accident attorney can collect evidence and prove the liability of the at-fault truck driver and the trucking company in a no-zone accident to get you maximum financial compensation.
Hidden Threats Related to No Zones in Trucks
“No zone” refers to the areas around a semi-truck where the driver’s visibility is significantly limited or completely obstructed. These no zones are essentially blind spots, and they pose a unique challenge for truck drivers. Unlike smaller vehicles, truckers cannot easily see these blind spots by using their rearview or passenger-side mirror.
The key no zones around semi trucks typically include:
- Front No-Zone: The space directly in front of the truck cab is a significant blind spot. Drivers in this area may be obscured from the trucker’s view, particularly if the truck has a high hood or the driver is sitting higher up in the cab.
- Rear No-Zone: Similar to the front, the area directly behind the truck is often a blind spot. Many vehicles in this space are invisible to the truck driver.
- Side No Zones: Trucks have large blind spots on both sides, extending from the side mirrors to the rear of the trailer. Vehicles traveling in these areas may go unnoticed by the truck driver.
- Turns No Zone: When a truck is making a turn, the space to the side, especially next to the cab and trailer, is a critical blind spot.
- Underride No Zone: The area underneath the trailer of a truck can also be a significant blind spot. Smaller vehicles that are too close to the rear of the truck may not be visible to the truck driver, especially if they are in the process of slowing down or stopping.
Risks Associated with No Zones in Truck Safety in California
Limited Visibility Leads to Increased Risks
The primary danger of a truck’s no zone lies in the limited visibility they create for truck drivers. When vehicles are positioned in these blind spots, they essentially become invisible to the trucker, especially during lane changes, turns, or sudden maneuvers.
Potential for Collisions During Lane Changes
When a vehicle is traveling in the blind spot of a large truck, and the truck driver decides to change lanes without proper awareness, it can lead to a collision. The fact that the truck driver cannot see in these areas increases the chances of accidents.
Vulnerability in Right and Left Turns
The turning radius of trucks, coupled with the limited visibility around the cab and trailer, makes it challenging for drivers to spot vehicles in these areas.
Rear-End Collisions in Rear No Zones
The rear no zone, located directly behind the truck, is another potential danger zone. Tailgating a truck or lingering too closely in this space can lead to rear-end collisions. The size and weight of trucks amplify the impact of such collisions.
Techniques to Identify and Minimize No Zones
- Stay Seen, Stay Safe: Avoid lingering in truck blind spots by maintaining a safe following distance, ensuring your visibility to larger vehicles in their rearview mirror.
- Signal Ahead, Drive Ahead: Signaling early gives drivers around you ample time to adjust, reducing the risk of being in their blind spots during maneuvers.
- Check and Confirm: Before changing lanes, drivers of passenger vehicles should quickly make sure they are clear of potential blind spots. You should also immediately slow down if you think a large truck driver cannot see you.
- Weather the Blind Spots: Adverse conditions heighten the challenge of large no-zone accidents. You should slow down, remain patient, stay aware, drive safely, and exercise extra caution around larger vehicles.

Surveillance Footage: Our lawyers will move fast to identify and secure any available surveillance footage from nearby cameras. This could include traffic cameras, security cameras from businesses, or dash cams from other vehicles.
Black Box Data: Commercial trucks may be equipped with event data recorders (EDRs) or “black boxes.” These devices record information such as vehicle speed, brake application, and other critical data in the moments leading up to a crash.
Driver Logs: We will review the truck driver’s logbooks to ensure compliance with hours-of-service regulations. Fatigue or violations of driving time limits could be contributing factors to the no-zone accident.
Trucking Company Policies: Our attorneys will scrutinize the policies and procedures of the trucking company to determine if they were in compliance with industry regulations. Non-compliance or lax safety standards may indicate negligence.

A national distributor of car parts asked us to help in speeding up the loading of compact vehicles used for the delivery service.
The small size of delivery cars does not allow them to be quickly loaded from the warehouse ramp, but even in this case there is a solution. We manufactured and installed a scissor lift for the rapid movement of products from the level of the ramp to the level of the cargo compartment of the car.

But what sets these electric scooters apart and why should you choose them over regular ones? In this article, we'll delve into the design features and performance advantages of off-road electric scooters and how they differ from their on-road counterparts.
Design Features of Off-Road Electric Scooters
Dominating Tires: Traction, Stability, and Bump-Proof Riding
Off-road tires are typically larger, wider, and equipped with deeper treads than on-road tires. These enhancements provide superior traction, stability, and shock absorption on uneven and loose surfaces. Off-road tires are often pneumatic (air-filled), allowing them to adapt to the terrain and cushion against bumps and vibrations. Some off-road electric scooters even come with tubeless tires, reducing the risk of punctures and simplifying repairs.
Glide Over the Roughest Terrain with Dual Suspension
Another key design feature of off-road electric scooters is their suspension system. These scooters typically boast dual suspension, meaning they have shock absorbers both in the front and rear wheels. This design helps to smoothen the ride and reduces fatigue and stress on the rider's body. Depending on their price and performance level, off-road electric scooters may feature various suspension types, such as spring, hydraulic, or swing arm suspension.
Unleashing Raw Power: High-Performance Motors
The motor is yet another critical component of off-road electric scooters. Due to the need to overcome more resistance and obstacles on rough terrains, these scooters often pack more powerful motors than their on-road counterparts. Some off-road electric scooters are equipped with dual motors, offering increased torque, acceleration, and hill-climbing ability. However, it's worth noting that dual motors consume more battery and contribute to a heavier scooter.
Extended Adventures: Enduring Battery Options
A sturdy and durable battery is essential for off-road electric scooters. These scooters require larger and more robust batteries compared to on-road ones, as they consume more power and need to cover longer distances. Depending on their price and quality, off-road electric scooters may use lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries. While lithium-ion batteries are lighter, more efficient, and boast a longer lifespan, they tend to be more expensive and sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
Built Tough: Sturdy Frames for Wild Rides
The frame, which supports and connects all the other components, is equally crucial for off-road electric scooters. To withstand the stresses and wear and tear on rough terrains, these scooters require stronger and sturdier frames. Depending on their weight and durability considerations, off-road electric scooters may feature steel or aluminum frames. Steel frames are heavier but offer greater robustness, while aluminum frames are lighter but may be more susceptible to bending.
Performance Advantages of Off-Road Electric Scooters
Conquer Every Terrain: Unrivaled Versatility
One of the primary performance advantages of off-road electric scooters is their unparalleled versatility. While regular scooters excel on smooth paved roads, off-road electric scooters can tackle a wide range of terrains, including dirt roads, gravel paths, grass fields, forest trails, rocky hills, sand dunes, and even snowy slopes. This capability makes off-road electric scooters the ideal choice for adventurous riders seeking new challenges and exciting exploration.
Adrenaline-Pumping Speed: Embrace the Need for Velocity
Off-road electric scooters also offer a significant speed advantage. With more powerful motors and less friction on rough surfaces, these scooters can reach higher speeds compared to regular ones. Some off-road electric scooters can hit speeds of up to 37 mph or more, far surpassing the typical 20 mph limit of regular scooters. This increased speed injects more adrenaline and thrill into the riding experience, appealing to riders who enjoy racing and competition.
Go the Extra Mile: Extended Range, Limitless Adventure
Another standout performance advantage of off-road electric scooters is their extended range. Thanks to their larger batteries and more efficient energy consumption on rough terrains, off-road scooters can travel longer distances than their on-road counterparts. Some off-road electric scooters boast a remarkable range of up to 80 miles or more on a single charge, offering unparalleled convenience and freedom for riders who love embarking on long-distance journeys without battery anxiety.
The Ultimate Warrior: Durability for Every Adventure
Durability is another strong point of off-road electric scooters. Their robust components are designed to withstand the challenges of rough terrain, making them more resilient and durable than ordinary scooters. In addition, off-road electric scooters can handle various weather conditions such as rain, snow, heat, and cold. With their unique design features and performance advantages, they provide riders with a reliable and safe riding experience, making them different from ordinary scooters.
In conclusion, off-road electric scooters stand out with their unique design features and performance advantages, setting them apart from regular scooters. With their enhanced tires, dual suspension, powerful motors, durable batteries, and sturdy frames, off-road electric scooters offer a comfortable and exciting ride on various terrains. Their unmatched versatility, higher speeds, extended range, and increased durability make them the preferred choice for adventurous riders seeking fun, excitement, convenience, freedom, reliability , and safety on their journeys. | automotive |

Electric cars are on the rise, and a whole new world of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles are starting to appear on roadways around the world.
A recent Cars Online report released by Capgemini sheds light on where consumers see the industry going in the near future, with over 8,000 consumers across eight countries were surveyed for the report.
With the boon of ridesharing services giving riders an alternative to purchasing their own vehicle, a surprising 34% of those surveyed stated that they saw these services as a genuine alternative to car ownership. After all, if your car payment would cost you more monthly than you would spend on ridesharing services, these services would become a more appealing choice to budget-conscious consumers.
Autonomous vehicles adding value：
This result adds credibility to another report released recently by RethinkX that predicts that by 2030 as much as 95% of the passenger vehicles on United States roadways would be autonomous and owned by a fleet rather than a private consumer. Uber, most notably, is already working on a plan to replace at least some of its human drivers with autonomous vehicles.
This means, of course, less consumer-purchased cars. If fifteen people are getting around just fine on a shared vehicle, then that’s fourteen fewer cars being sold.
Kai Grambow, Global Head of Automotive at Capgemini, said: “We are currently experiencing a golden age of car sales, however, it’s clear that this won’t last forever in its current form. Car brands are realizing they need to react to changing consumer habits to sustain growth.”
There is some hope, however. In the Cars Online report, a promising 56% of those polled said that car-hailing and ride-sharing services were complementary to buying a new car, rather than an outright replacement.
Some interesting strategies come to light for car manufacturers looking to maintain their competitive edge in an evolving market. For one, ride-sharing services could be an excellent marketing tool for these companies. Consumers that enjoy a ride they received in a particular make/model vehicle are more likely to consider it when it comes time to buy their own new car.
An incredible 81% of people polled stated they are willing to pay more for autonomous-driving features. Brands like Tesla and Mercedes are wowing consumers with their intelligent driving assistance features, often paying a significant markup for the high-end vehicles these technologies are included with.
Brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Infinity, Volvo, and Subaru are also starting to roll out vehicles with driver-assist capabilities for anyone willing to pay a little more for its convenience. As the price of this feature goes down, more consumers will be tempted to hop on board.
A cautious consumer market?
Tech brands like Apple sound like natural fits for autonomous vehicles. It’s the role of these brands to extend their reach into new markets. Apple did this when it entered the phone market in 2007, and the consumer market was no less hesitant to trust their communication to a brand that had never before produced a mobile phone… until they saw it in action.
Among the people polled, 51% said they would trust an established automotive manufacturer’s autonomous car over a brand that had never before produced a vehicle before.
The automotive industry is changing in a big way right now. Consumers have more choice in how their vehicle works and what features they want it to have than ever before. Decades ago automatic windows and air conditioning were the big selling points that set vehicles apart. Today, it’s how autonomous you want your driving experience to be, and whether or not you want to fuel up at a gas station or an electric outlet.
The Cars Online survey was conducted in January of 2017 and included representation from Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States. | automotive |

Pictured above: Deputy Blake Paige with the Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit poses with the new trailer after setting it up its first deployment.
Marshall County recently took delivery of a new mobile speed trailer from MPH Industries. This was a joint purchase between the Sheriff’s Office and Secondary Roads Department. The trailer has four adjustable jack stands on the corners that allows the trailer to be set up in a level position on roadsides with uneven terrain that is often present in rural settings. It has dual 12 volt batteries and a solar panel charging system to allow the trailer to operate for up to a week or more without having to be connected to a power source. The trailer is used to display the speed of passing vehicles.
This trailer is not a speed camera and has no enforcement capabilities or cameras. The sign has programmable display that can display the vehicle’s actual speed utilizing a built in RADAR and a message that reads “SLOW DOWN” and red and blue lights temporarily flash if the vehicle is driving above a preset speed limit. The trailer also has a fixed speed limit sign that displays the speed zone at that location. The sign is programmable so that speeds above a preset limit will not be displayed on the screen to discourage any attempts from drivers to record high speeds for entertainment purposes.
Speed trailers like this have been around for years and drivers have probably seen similar versions in various cities and counties. They are often called “traffic calming devices” by those in the traffic safety industry. Digital speed displays can be on mobile trailers or on post-mounted electronic signs. Most drivers can relate to instinctively tapping their brakes when they see their speed displayed if it is above the posted speed limit. Speed trailers and signs are just one method of improving traffic safety. Digital signs provide a 24/7 visual reminder to passing motorists. This is beneficial in all areas but is especially important in higher-risk areas with pedestrian traffic such as school or construction zones.
The trailer does have the ability to collect limited data about passing vehicles. It can collect vehicle counts, date, time, and speeds of passing vehicles but nothing unique about the vehicle or the vehicle occupants. This data is useful to determine the traffic volume of a specific area of roadway as well as help determine if there is a speed problem and if so, what time of day or even what days of the week. The Sheriff’s Office will utilize this data along with data from other sources and crash data to target enforcement efforts in areas where it will have the greatest impact on traffic safety. The Traffic Unit will move this trailer around to various locations throughout the year.
Sheriff Phillips said “We have hundreds of miles of roads to patrol in Marshall County. Utilizing technology and data allows us to be more efficient with our resources and concentrate enforcement efforts in the right place at the right time to keep our roadways safe.” If you have questions or concerns about traffic safety in Marshall County, please contact the Sheriff's Office.

Murphy
The snow fell straight down that November night in Sioux Falls. Street lights’ glow reflected back from low clouds and falling snow to create a storybook scene. It was so peaceful, so quiet.
On one neighborhood street car tires made a soft sound as they rolled through a turn in the snow. But then, suddenly, those tires made a different, “shushing” sound as they slipped their earthly bonds and slid sideways. The sliding tires came to rest only when the front fender of the car I was driving collided softly but surely with a parked car.
Oh! That’s not good.
Sliding into another car is bad enough. But, worse, sixteen year old me was driving my parent’s car. A great car – a sky blue, 1969 Thunderbird.
I put the car in park and got out to check the damage.
I know I put the car in park. Fill me with truth serum, give me a polygraph exam. I tell you I put that car in park.
I went around to where my front fender was nudged against the rear fender of the parked car. I leaned in close for a better look. There it was - a dent in the Thunderbird.
But, leaning in, peering at that T-bird, I saw something else: I saw the passenger side mirror. Then I saw the door handle. Then the rear fender rolled past.
The rear fender rolled past. The car was rolling downhill. THE CAR WAS ROLLING DOWNHILL!
And it rolled. It rolled diagonally down the street, jumped a curb, and caromed off a tree. It cut the corner and rolled off a curb, crossed a street, and up another curb . . .
And me? I ran after the car. Arms flailing, running haplessly in a pair of slick-soled cowboy boots through the new snow. The boys in Capa City would have laughed to see a Sioux Falls kid wearing cowboy boots.
At some point I got the driver’s door open. But still, the car rolled and I ran.
Finally, as the car rolled toward the front of a quiet house at the foot of the hill, I dove in and jammed the brake pedal down with my hands.
There I was – my legs out the car door and the front bumper of the car buried in an evergreen bush in front of someone’s picture window. Happily, the living room behind the picture window was dark.
I lay there for a moment to catch my breath.
Then I straightened myself around and backed the car off the lawn. I parked the car on the level. I put the car in park. I put on the emergency brake. I braced the tires with a set of commercial airliner wheel chocks.
I retraced my steps. I went to the house where the car I hit was parked. Turned out that car belonged to a guest at a party there. So I got to tell my tale to a whole roomful of folks – great. They got a kick out of the story.
I knocked on the door of the house of the tree the car had hit. “You what? I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you’re talking about.” said the poor, confused woman who answered that door.
I called my Dad and told him what had happened.
The next morning, Sunday, Mom and Dad and my brother and sister and I went out to the car to go to Mass. When my sister saw the big dent in the car from its bankshot off the tree, she said what any little sister must say at such a moment: “WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAR?!!?!!”
“Great,” I thought, “here it comes.”
But, before the Inquisition could continue, Dad chuckled and said “I kissed a tree with the car last night. Let’s go. Chop, chop!”
How about that – “I kissed a tree with the car last night.”
That was one of the things for which I was thankful in 1974.
I’m still thankful for the assist my Dad gave me that Sunday morning. I’m pretty sure he’s thankful I don’t chase his car down snowy streets anymore.

There seems to be a lot documentation and so several choices to make.
For example, should you obtain the collision damages waiver or not? Should you get added insurance policy coverage from the car rental company?
If you have actually ever enjoyed people at the rental car counter, you recognize these are questions that most people fight with. In some cases you can decrease additional insurance policy on car rentals, yet there are specific circumstances that you should always acquire the insurance coverage. Yet how do you recognize?
One of the largest areas of complication is the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) supplied by the car rental company at the time of rental. If you are entailed in a mishap, it covers damage to the rental car.
The CDW isn't precisely insurance policy, and it just covers just damage to the rental car. It does not cover residential or commercial property damages or personal injury. If CDW is bought, the car rental company waives some or all of its right to get from you for physical problems to the car.
Should you buy the CDW the car rental firm pushes at you? Professionals claim that most people do not need it however buy it anyhow. This is a very costly error!
You can conserve on your own a lot of trouble and also unneeded cost by doing three things. Examine your own car insurance policy to see what protection lugs over to rental autos. Second, see if the credit card you are using offers any type of protection for renting out. Examine the alternatives the car rental agency offers in its own policies.
Lots of car insurance plan include all-encompassing as well as accident protection to damages to rental automobiles. There is no feeling paying for even more if your plan includes this insurance coverage? Simply validate the information with your insurance coverage representative prior to you decline the car rental business's extra insurance coverage options.
Common car insurance policies provide liability coverage that extends to car rentals. If you injure a person in a crash while driving a rental car, your plan will certainly often cover you. If your car insurance policy does not provide these coverages when you are driving car services, make certain to acquire additional insurance from the car rental firm to shield on your own.
In addition, several charge card provide coverage for rental cars. If your bank card consists of coverage for car rentals that have actually been harmed in a mishap, you don't require to purchase any other additional insurance coverage the car rental firm uses you.
Review the car rental policy carefully and also make a decision whether or not your car insurance or credit scores card covers you. Discuss the car rental's insurance coverage with the agent. Constantly make a notified decision. Do not give right into pressure by the car rental representative.
Deciding whether to pay for added insurance coverage the car rental companies provide can be a challenging decision. Get in touch with your charge card and also existing car insurance coverage to see if they offer rental car stipulations, and also if they do not, you would certainly better think about investing the extra money for additional insurance coverage for your very own defense.
You shouldn't pay Puerto Vallarta car hire for anything that you truly do not require! On the other hand, you don't wish to have insufficient insurance coverage in the event of an accident with rental cars and trucks.
Examine your own car insurance policy to see what protection lugs over to rental cars and trucks. Numerous car insurance coverage plans consist of extensive as well as accident insurance coverage to damages to rental automobiles. Regular car insurance coverage plans provide responsibility coverage that prolongs to car leasings. If your car insurance policy does not provide these coverages when you are driving car rentals, be certain to purchase added insurance from the car rental company to protect yourself.
Read the car rental policy very carefully as well as make a decision whether or not your car insurance coverage or credit report card covers you. | automotive |

Companies such as Tesla have lead the charge, but now all of the major auto manufacturers are coming out with electrified versions of their long standing industry models. Ford has the F150 Lighting, an electric version of their popular F150. GMC has recently launched the GMC Hummer EV bringing back the very popular GMC Hummer now in electric. Toyota has the bZ4X to go along with a list of hybrids, Honda has the Prologue SUV, Chevrolet has the Bolt, Blazer and Equinox. Most if not all of the luxury automakers such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc. have their own electric vehicle lines as well.
The move towards eMobility, however, is not confined to the consumer vehicle market. eMobility has made the way into public transit and heavy duty construction vehicles. In the busy industries, all of the largest manufacturers (BYD, Proterra, New Flyer, Gillig, etc.) have designed electric models of their busses. In the construction industry both Volvo and Caterpillar have come out with electric versions of their standard equipment as well. Both announcing electric front-end loaders and backhoes. In the freight transportation industry numerous companies are designing and building electric semi-trailers. Mercedes-Benz and Volvo have both announced electric semi-trailers along with a few startup companies attempting to join the establish leading manufacturers.
A shift from traditional gas and diesel vehicles to electrified versions means an increase in standard and high-voltage electric cables running throughout the vehicles. This increase also leads to an increase in the need for EMC (electromagnetic current) shielding protecting the sensitive signals inside the vehicle. In order to protect these cables and the signals running inside or outside of them, there is a high demand for products that withstand the test of time and the wear and tear of some of these tough industries.
Conduit and Sleeve Protection
Light, flexible and easy to fit, corrugated plastic conduit is used in many industries. When plastic flexible conduit is made with polyamide, it becomes even more versatile. This advanced polymer possesses valuable properties such as resistance to heat and chemicals, making it a viable option for demanding industries such as the eMobility industry. It is also certified to the fire protection standard ECE-R 118.03, annex 7 and 8 meeting regulatory standards for materials used in passenger transport.
Manufactured in signal color orange, ROHRflex PA 6-L, is ideal of protection high-voltage cables. The orange sets the conduit apart from other standard black conduits identifying the cables inside as high-voltage.
Some applications do not require the degree of protection a polyamide conduit can provide in terms of durability or ingress protection. When the need to to simply protect and identify the cables as high-voltage from wear and tare, braid and sleeve protection can solve the need. HG-PET025 and ACN are two of these options which provide fantastic protection for the cables inside. FBW is a protection option allowing installers to wrap their cables after installation. Even as a wrap solution, FBW is still able to provide dynamic cut and abrasion resistance.
The EVolution EMC is not a typical EMC cable gland as known from industrial applications. In fact, it is very different – the best of both worlds: A top-quality cable gland, but easily disconnectable. Quick and easy to use, yet designed for the highest shielding currents, for all high-voltage cable types and for all engine-power classes. The EVolution gland provides full 360 degree connectivity thanks to a crimped shielding connection. Ideal solution for EMC protection in rough environments exposed to the elements and high vibrations.
These two EMC cable glands are built and designed to meet the needs of most EMC situations. Unlike the EVolution EMC, these cable glands are traditional in style where the cable is held in place via a compression sleeve or a contact spring. powerConnect holds cables firm with a compression sleeve providing low transfer resistance and excellent sealing performance. easyCONNECT uses a spring along with a compression sleeve providing low contact resistance and high ingress protection. Both options provide a wide range of entry thread options for different applications.

Researchers have designed a new smartphone app that can warn a car driver if they are feeling sleepy, an enhancement that might assist prevent deadly accidents owing to tiredness driving.
The new method adopts a real-time video of smartphone to analyze and track the facial texture of a driver, specifically the alterations in his head and eyelids position, which are well-known exhaustion symptoms.
With the app set up in a smartphone, a driver merely has to place it with the front camera facing him near the steering wheel in his standard driving position.
When the camera takes features like drowsiness, drooping eyelids, or even nodding off, an alarm is robotically triggered. To make sure that the driver is waked up, the driver has to put the alarm off either by hand or by voice.
The approach, designed in China by Hong Kong Baptist University, needs only a smartphone with no any extra sensors or devices.
It is simple to operate, cost-effective, detects accurately, portable, supports online system updates, and is highly reliable.
As the system can trigger the back camera of the smartphone, it can also be used as a standard driving system for recording, as employed by most of the drivers nowadays.
“The outcome of fatigue driving should not be undervalued,” claimed Professor Cheung Yiu-ming from Hong Kong Baptist University.
The new system is appropriate for all drivers, but particularly for machinery workers and qualified drivers who have extended working shifts.
Yiu-ming further added that the system may also attract firms with an automobile fleet, or insurance firms.
Fatigue-driving recognition systems are presently set up only in a small number of magnificence models provided by car producers.
Those systems need extra sensors and devices set up in a vehicle, making them expensive, non-portable, and hard to fit in the system upgrades, hence are not helpful to standard drivers.
In a nutshell, the new app developed buy the Hong Kong Baptist University will soon be commercial to help the drivers. This will in return help to increase the safety of drivers and reduce the risk of accidents caused by tiredness driving. | automotive |

Scorching temperatures and congested holiday routes can make summer driving extra dangerous. Follow these four driving tips to keep yourself, your passengers and your vehicle safe this summer.
Punctures - High temperatures can aggravate existing damage on your vehicle’s tyres. Before departing, be sure that you have done the following:
- Check the tyres for cracks or punctures. If you find any damage, take your vehicle to a garage to have the tyre replaced.
- Check the tyre pressure, and, if necessary, adjust it to accommodate any extra weight in your vehicle.
Fatigue – If you plan to drive for more than three hours, avoid fatigue by doing the following:
- Take at least a 20-minute break every two hours to stretch, or take a short nap or drink a strong cup of coffee.
- Avoid eating a heavy meal or drinking alcohol before starting your trip, as both can contribute to drowsiness or impaired focus and judgement.
Visibility – To ensure good visibility while you are driving, do the following:
- Regularly clean the windscreen, inside and out, to remove smudges or smears.
- Check the condition of your wiper blades, and replace them if they are worn or damaged.
Fuel – For many, fuel is a major expense. To save money on fuel, do the following:
- During long stretches on the motorway, use cruise control.
- Turn on the air conditioning rather than rolling down the windows. | automotive |

From the dreaded “check engine” light to dangerously low tire pressure, here are the automotive issues you should deal with ASAP.
Small issues can lead to big problems
No one wants to admit that their car needs service because no one wants to deal with a potentially hefty bill. But ignoring your car problems is a decision you’ll soon regret. Those leaks, screeches, and dashboard notification lights each indicate an issue that can be serious, dangerous, and costly if you pretend it’s just not there. By dealing with these problems when they first rear their ugly heads, you can avoid an expensive repair necessary to keep your car running. Is your car about to die? Hopefully not, but these are 14 telltale signs that it might not be long for this world.
“Check engine” light
We’ve all been there: The dreaded “check engine” light just flicked on and you fear a massive bill from your mechanic is in your immediate future. We’re sorry to break the news to you, but fear isn’t a good reason to put off a trip to said mechanic. “If your ‘check engine’ light turns on, you should have your car tested as soon as possible because it’s a signal that something is wrong,” explains Tony Arevalo from Carsurance.net. He knows this is a bitter pill to swallow and that “people often postpone going to the mechanic precisely because the car is still running,” but doing so may cause major damage to your vehicle. Depending on what type of car you have, you might actually be in luck. These 10 car brands usually cost the least to repair.
Broken or unreadable license plate
Here’s one car issue that’s probably not at the top of your car maintenance checklist, but that’s a mistake. As Tobias Rawcliffe from Number1Plates.com points out, “having broken or unreadable registration plates can make you worthy of a large on-the-spot fine.” After all, the plates are the legal identifier for your vehicle, and if you’re obscuring them or otherwise making it difficult for authorities to read them, you could get pulled over and ticketed. Luckily, replacing your car’s license plate is a cinch. Just head into your local DMV and pay the small fee for a new plate. Here’s some more good news: There’s actually a way to avoid the line at the DMV.
Low gas warning light
You might think you know your car and just how long it will run on just how little gas, but you shouldn’t test this theory—and not just because you might get stuck. Auto professionals and mechanics alike agree that you should not be driving on less than a quarter tank of gas. Laura Gonzalez, Marketing Manager for Auto Nation Volkswagen of Las Vegas, says that this is because “the fuel pump uses gas as not only a lubricant but also as a method to keep it cool. If you run your car to the point that it’s almost completely out of gas, you can damage the fuel pump if it sucks in air, causing it to heat up and burn out.” That’s a repair you desperately want to avoid since it’s labor intensive and costly. These are the cars with the best fuel economy to help you drive farther before seeing a low gas warning.
Broken exterior lights
Faulty or broken exterior car lights can impair your vision or the vision of other drivers, says Gonzalez. Having exterior lights not functioning properly, or out completely, could earn you a costly ticket from a police officer on patrol at night. This repair is one of the least expensive, so there’s no reason to ignore this one. Replacing non-headlight bulbs is actually one of the car problems you can easily fix yourself.
You may think that you can course-correct your car when your tires are pulling you to the left or right as you drive, but this is a risky prospect. First, it makes it harder for you to stay safe on the road. Second, says Cindy Price, Import Service Manager at Ricart Automotive, your tires will suffer. The crazy thing is, you may not even realize you have an alignment problem right away since the first sign of a problem isn’t actually your car pulling one way or the other. “What typically happens first is uneven tire wear, and by then it is too late—you need new tires,” Price explains. “Not checking your alignment on a regular basis can end up being very costly in the long run and result in needing new tires more frequently than normal.” Don’t miss these other things you’re doing to your car that mechanics wouldn’t.
When it comes to being low on oil and seeing that oil service light pop up on your dashboard, you likely have a little bit of driving time left before you have a problem. But, Gonzalez says, “ignoring your low oil situation and the oil service light for too long will cause catastrophic failure to your engine.” Changing your oil at the recommended intervals will help extend the life of your engine, as well as help you avoid expensive visits to the dealer’s service bay. Checking your engine’s oil levels is one of the car maintenance basics everyone should know how to do.
Chipped windshield glass
It’s not just an aesthetic issue. “Your windshield provides up to 30 percent of your vehicle’s structural strength, meaning any chips or cracks can weaken your windshield, compromising your safety in a crash or rollover situation,” says Ed Sprigler, VP of Strategic Initiatives at Safelite AutoGlass. Another reason you shouldn’t ignore chipped windshield glass? “Windshields host an important yet delicate camera called ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) that control some of our favorite safety features, such as blind-spot monitoring, lane assist, and auto-braking,” Sprigler explains.
“The coolant warning light is likely telling you that you have a coolant leak,” says Gonzalez. “Ignoring it could cause your car to overheat your engine and destroy it if the coolant drops too low.” Go in to get it checked out, and whatever you do, don’t use water in place of coolant. Here are another 12 of the worst tips car mechanics have ever heard.
“When it comes to auto repair, many people believe that if you ignore a car problem, it will go away, including a slow start,” says Matt Allen, the host of Arizona’s Bumper to Bumper Radio and owner of Virginia Auto Service and Import Car Specialists in Phoenix. This is not the case…at all. So, what is a slow start, exactly, and why is it such a problem? “[A slow start is when] you go to start your car and it struggles to turn over for a minute, but then it does,” Allen explains. “This could be a sign of a dead battery or other starter/alternator problems, and unfortunately, this problem will only continue until one day the car won’t start.” Take your car to a trusted mechanic to determine the strength of your battery. By the way, this is how long car batteries last. | automotive |

Melaka CID Chief Asst Comm Mohd Nor Yhazid Idris said firemen from Alor Gajah found a black plastic bag, believed to be remains of a human, at the trunk of the razed car that was parked in front of a workshop at the area on Thursday (Sept 17).
“Firemen from Alor Gajah then alerted the Pulau Sebang police on the finding at 7.25am,” he said.
ACP Mohd Nor said the car was earlier towed by the workshop owner from the Ayer Keroh rest and recreational area along the North-South Expressway at 4pm on Sept 15.
He said the car had mechanical glitches but the driver had not settled the towing fee, hence, the vehicle was left at the workshop with no repair works carried out.
Furthermore, he said there was no agreement between the driver and the workshop owner to repair the vehicle.
ACP Mohd Nor said the car was found ablaze in front of the workshop at about 6.45am.
He said his team is awaiting for the post-mortem report and investigation is ongoing to detect the owner of the vehicle. -The Star | automotive |

MTA Dealer Warranty
What does the MTA Dealer Warranty mean?
The MTA Dealer Warranty gives customers confidence in the soundness of qualifying motor vehicles purchased from MTA Dealers.
The MTA Dealer Warranty is given to purchasers of qualifying motor vehicles at no extra cost.
The MTA Dealer Warranty means that the MTA Dealer will ensure that any defects that arise in a qualifying motor vehicle during the period that the Warranty is valid are repaired (subject to the exclusions set out below). This may involve the MTA Dealer covering the reasonable cost of parts and labour to repair any defects or may involve the MTA Dealer paying the excess on any applicable mechanical warranty.
The MTA Dealer Warranty is valid; in the case of a Category One qualifying motor vehicle, for the earlier of 100 days from the date of sale or 5,000km and in the case of a Category Two qualifying motor vehicle, for the earlier of 30 days from the date of sale or 3,000km.
A Category One qualifying motor vehicle is a vehicle sold by an MTA Dealer that is less than 10 years old and has travelled less than 100,000km. Motorcycles, commercial vehicles or vehicles intended for commercial use are not qualifying motor vehicles.
A Category Two qualifying motor vehicle is a vehicle sold by an MTA Dealer that is more than 10 years old and has travelled more than 100,000km. Motorcycles, commercial vehicles or vehicles intended for commercial use are not qualifying motor vehicles.
The MTA Dealer Warranty excludes motorcycles, commercial vehicles and vehicles used for commercial purposes. This means vehicles over 3500GVM and cars used for business purposes.
The MTA Dealer Warranty does not apply if the qualifying motor vehicle has been used in an inappropriate manner that is not considered to be a normal use for that qualifying motor vehicle.
The MTA Dealer Warranty does not apply if any modifications are made to the qualifying motor vehicle after purchase that means that the vehicle is outside the manufacturer’s original specifications.
The MTA Dealer Warranty does not apply to audio and navigation systems, consumables (fluids, batteries, tyres, and brake pads), shock absorbers, corrosion, paintwork and items replaced during servicing.
If the vehicle is used in any form of racing competitions the MTA Dealer Warranty no longer applies.
The MTA Dealer Warranty does not apply if the customer has the qualifying motor vehicle repaired without first obtaining the MTA Dealer’s approval.
If any of the exclusions apply then the MTA Dealer Warranty does not apply and is invalid.
Defining customer responsibilities.
The customer must take reasonable steps to protect the qualifying motor vehicle from the incidence of breakdown.
The customer must ensure that the qualifying motor vehicle is not used in an inappropriate manner or used in any way that is not considered normal use for that qualifying motor vehicle.
The customer must comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations as to safety, maintenance and the operation of the qualifying motor vehicle.
The customer must contact the MTA Dealer as soon as a defect arises.
Process for remedying defects.
If a defect arises in the qualifying motor vehicle the customer must immediately contact the MTA Dealer. The customer cannot have the qualifying motor vehicle repaired, as a failure to seek prior approval for repairs to commence will invalidate the MTA Dealer Warranty.
In the event that the MTA Warranty is valid and applicable and none of the exclusions apply so as to invalidate the Warranty, the MTA Dealer will nominate an MTA Repairer to carry out remedial work.
If the MTA Repairer is located in excess of 50 kilometres from the customer’s home the MTA Dealer will meet reasonable costs in transporting the vehicle.
If dismantling is required to assess whether the MTA Dealer Warranty applies, the customer will be reimbursed if the claim is valid. This means that the customer must authorise any dismantling.
The customer must submit complete invoices to the MTA Dealer which detail repairs, parts and labour together with any outwork. Any repairs, parts and labour will not be accepted without prior approval of the MTA Dealer
If the Warranty is disputed?
In the event that the MTA Dealer disputes the MTA Dealer Warranty or the customer is not satisfied with a repair, the customer should contact the MTA Call Centre to outline the complaint.
If it is not clear whether or not the MTA Dealer Warranty applies, or a customer is not satisfied with the repair or the matter is complicated, the complaint will be considered by a panel composed of MTA National Office staff. If the panel concludes that the MTA Dealer Warranty applies and that the dealer must honour the MTA Dealer Warranty and the dealer does not do so then:
The MTA Dealer’s membership of MTA will be reviewed by the Board of Directors; and
MTA will honour the MTA Dealer Warranty in the dealer’s place. MTA’s liability is capped at $5,000 per qualifying motor vehicle. Customers are required to have the repairs completed at an MTA Repairer nominated by MTA.
Note: The MTA Dealer Warranty in no way abrogates the customer’s rights in terms of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. | automotive |

AGCO will incorporate the Apex.OS software development kit or SDK into its autonomous agricultural robot.
“We are leveraging our success in the automotive and autonomous driving industry and applying it to areas with similar functional safety needs such as agriculture, manufacturing, mining and construction,” said Jan Becker, co-founder and CEO of Apex.AI. “Apex.OS enables software architecture to be modular, scalable and secure, allowing customers to translate their research and development projects into off-the-shelf products in record time.”
Apex.AI of Palo Alto, California, said it develops certified and scalable software for mobile systems. The company’s flagship product is Apex.OS, a meta-operational system that is said to accelerate software development for autonomous vehicles.
Interest in autonomous vehicles in agriculture is growing, but developing a safe system is challenging and time-consuming. Apex.AI said it is helping customers reduce the complexity of software-defined vehicles with Apex.OS, which last year achieved the highest level of automotive software safety under ISO 26262 ASIL-D.
By bridging the gap between research and development and manufacturing quality systems, Apex.OS users can overcome software problems in real time and reliability in record time, the company said. Apex.OS is based on an open-source robot operating system.
According to the companies, the Fendt Xaver can plant seeds on farms 24 hours a day with centimeter-accuracy thanks to Apex.OS software. | automotive |

If certain legal factors are met, the police will provide you with a Notice of Vehicle Forfeiture and seize your car. The legal right, title, and interest in the vehicle immediately goes to the police. You must challenge the forfeiture within the statutory mandated timeline or you could lose your opportunity to get your vehicle back. Under certain circumstances your car can be seized without conviction or even if it is your first time being stopped for a DWI.
When is my vehicle subject to forfeiture? Your vehicle is subject to forfeiture if it was used in the act of doing, or the commission of a designated offense, or the vehicle was used in conduct resulting in a designated offense. The list of designated offenses are:
(1) First Degree DWI – a First Degree DWI is a DWI with three aggravating factors in the past 10 years; a person has been previously convicted of a felony DWI, or previously convicted of a felony for criminal vehicular homicide or injury.
(2) Second Degree DWI – a Second Degree DWI is a DWI with two or more aggravating factors or a person is cited for test refusal and has one aggravating factor at the time of the offense.
(3) DWI by a person whose driver license or privileges have been canceled due to driving actions threatening, or inimical to public safety and not reinstated.
(4) DWI by a person who has a restricted license that does not allow the consumption of any alcohol.
Police may also forfeit your vehicle if you receive a license revocation for DWI/DUI, test refusal or a commercial driver's license disqualification resulting from a DWI within 10 years of the first of two or more qualified prior impaired driving incidents.
DWI's can be complicated, expensive and time-consuming. If you or a family member has had their vehicle seized and it is subject to forfeiture, call Eric Olson. He has more than 15 years of experience in dealing with these issues and he can guide you through these difficult times. | automotive |

It’s an exciting time in teens’ lives when they first begin driving, but it’s also an extraordinarily dangerous time as distractions seem to be everywhere. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for kids and young adults ages 14 through 18.
Despite this, the NHTSA says just 25 percent of parents have a serious talk with their kids about the key components of safe driving.
So, with National Teen Driver Safety Week coming up October 19-25, here are five recommended rules to spell out before your teen gets behind the wheel:
1. Absolutely no alcohol.
There is no legal limit for alcohol when it comes to teen drivers. Having any amount of alcohol in their system is illegal for all those under 21, everywhere. On average, according to the NHTSA, 25 percent of deaths in motor vehicle crashes involve a teen driver with a blood-alcohol content of .01 or higher.
2. Seat belts required.
Drivers and passengers ages 16 to 24 historically use seat belts less often than other groups. Let teens know that seat belt use is non-negotiable. It’s the easiest way to protect themselves in a crash. And, set a good example by buckling up yourself.
3. Never speed.
Teenagers may like to push the limits, but the road isn’t the place to do so. Speeding doesn’t simply put them at risk for a ticket. It increases the risk of a deadly accident as well.
4. No calls, no texts.
It’s never a good idea for anyone to call or text while driving, but, because teens lack experience behind the wheel, distracted driving is all the more risky. Reaction times are slower when someone is distracted. Even worse, sending or reading a text means a driver’s eyes aren’t on the road.
5. Only one passenger (or zero, depending on your state’s licensing guidelines for young drivers).
As the number of passengers rises, so does the risk of a fatal crash, the NHTSA says. Think back to when you were a teen driver — how different were your actions when you had friends in the car versus when you were alone?
Let young drivers know that driving is a privilege and that you’ll take away the keys if they don’t drive safely. Then, have regular conversations about driving safety and other issues to ensure the lessons don’t fall by the wayside. Soon, you’ll have another trusted and responsible driver in the family – maybe even one that qualifies for a car insurance discount. | automotive |

Among these hazards, stone chips pose a common and potentially damaging threat to your car’s exterior. Thankfully, there’s an effective solution: Paint Protection Film (PPF). In this guide, we’ll explore how to safeguard your car from stone chips using PPF, as well as other preventive measures you can take.
Table of Contents
Understanding the Peril of Stone Chips:
Stone chips occur when small rocks or debris are propelled by moving vehicles, impacting the surface of your car. These chips can create unsightly marks, chip away at the paint, and even lead to rust formation over time. Protecting your car’s paintwork from stone chips not only maintains its aesthetic appeal but also preserves its resale value.
The Power of Paint Protection Film (PPF):
PPF is a revolutionary solution that acts as a barrier between your car’s paint and the elements. This transparent film is designed to absorb impacts and prevent them from reaching the paint underneath. Here’s why PPF is the ultimate defense against stone chips:
- Impact Absorption: PPF has a unique self-healing property that allows it to absorb the impact of small debris, like stones, without leaving permanent damage on the film or your car’s paint.
- Invisible Protection: PPF is virtually invisible, allowing your car’s original color and finish to shine through while still providing robust protection.
- Long-Lasting: High-quality PPF can last for years, making it a cost-effective investment in preserving your car’s appearance.
- Easy Maintenance: PPF is easy to clean and maintain, keeping your car looking new without extensive upkeep.
Steps to Protect Your Car from Stone Chips:
- Choose Quality PPF: Opt for high-quality PPF that is specifically designed to provide maximum protection. Consider factors like durability, self-healing capabilities, and UV resistance.
- Professional Installation: Proper installation of PPF is crucial for optimal performance. Trust trained professionals to install the film correctly, ensuring it adheres seamlessly to your car’s contours.
- Full-Coverage Application: While PPF can be applied to specific areas prone to stone chips, such as the front bumper and hood, consider a full-coverage application for comprehensive protection.
- Regular Maintenance: Clean your car regularly to prevent debris buildup on the PPF. Use gentle car cleaning products and techniques to avoid damaging the film.
Additional Protective Measures:
While PPF offers exceptional protection against stone chips, it can be complemented by other preventive measures:
- Maintain Distance: Maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles, especially large trucks and construction vehicles that can kick up debris.
- Avoid Tailgating: Avoid tailgating to minimize the risk of being hit by stones thrown from the tires of the vehicle in front of you.
- Use Mud Flaps: Installing mud flaps behind your car’s wheels can help deflect debris and reduce the chance of stone chips.
- Regular Washing: Regularly wash your car to remove dirt and debris that can cause abrasions if left on the surface.
Stone chips are an inevitable part of driving, but their impact on your car’s appearance can be minimized with the right protective measures. Paint Protection Film (PPF) stands as a superior solution, offering a transparent shield that absorbs impacts and preserves your car’s paint for years to come. By investing in PPF and adopting preventive driving practices, you can enjoy a pristine and well-protected vehicle on the road.

Along with the inconvenience of driving, there are also a lot of risks involved. However, there is one company stepping into the light that may set the new status quo for commuting and transportation: Waymo.
Waymo first started out as a self-driving car project by Google. Development started in January 2009, and has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since. The development team started by building the sensors for the car from the ground up. The sensors were then integrated into the first company car, a Toyota Prius. In 2009, Google’s self-driving project drove more autonomous miles than ever before. Eventually, four years later the team added its sensors to yet another vehicle. This time it was a Lexus RX450h. This vehicle marked major steps toward becoming a true self-driving car by using a bigger SUV.
Junior Adam Laubach voiced his opinion stating, “It would be great if this becomes mainstream, however, the thing I am concerned with is the cost of these services.”
In 2015, after years of drive time and improvement, the first autonomous ride was given to Steven Mahan. Steven is legally blind. Then in December 2016, the project unit was renamed Waymo. Waymo then took off, set on a mission to provide access to autonomous driving nationwide.
“I think that this would be very useful for many youths, and just to reduce car accidents altogether,” stated sophomore Rongbong Li.

Learn about the advantages, common FAQs, and why investing in vehicle wrapping is a smart choice.
Are you struggling to make your business stand out from the crowd? Are you tired of losing customers to your competitors? If so, you may want to consider investing in vehicle wraps. In this detailed informational blog post about how vehicle graphics for your fleet vehicles can help you beat the competition. We'll explore the benefits of using vinyl wraps as a marketing tool and how they can help you gain a competitive advantage.
First impressions matter. As a business owner, you want to make sure that your brand is memorable and that people remember your name. One of the most effective ways to do this is through vehicle wraps. A vehicle wrap is a vinyl graphic design that is applied to a car, truck, or van. It can be used to display your company's logo, contact information, and marketing message.
With vehicle wraps, you can turn your company vehicles into mobile billboards. This allows you to reach a wider audience and get your brand in front of potential customers who may not have heard of you otherwise. But how exactly can vehicle wraps help you beat the competition? Let's find out.
The first and most obvious benefit of vehicle wraps is increased brand visibility. By putting your brand on your fleet vehicles, you're essentially turning it into a moving billboard that works for your 24/7. Your brand will be seen by countless people every day as you drive around town, increasing your chances of attracting new customers.
Compared to other forms of advertising, fleet wraps are incredibly cost-effective. Once you've paid for the initial design and installation, there are no ongoing costs associated with the wrap. This means that you can advertise your business for 5-7 years without having to pay for additional advertising. It is the lowest cost-per-impression on the market. Depending on location and the given day, one fleet vehicle can generate 30,000 to 70,000 daily impressions.
A well-designed full wrap or partial wrap can give your business a professional appearance and make it stand out from the competition. When people see your branded vehicle driving down the street, they will immediately associate your business with quality and professionalism.
In addition to the marketing benefits, vehicle wraps for your fleet of vehicles can also provide protection for your vehicle. The vinyl material used in vehicle wraps is durable and can help protect your vehicle from scratches and other types of damage. This can help extend the life of your vehicle and save you money on repairs.
driving and parked wrapped vehicles around your local service area can dramatically increase awareness among those who live or work nearby; parked vehicles attract the attention of pedestrians, and other moterists especially in a busy urban setting.
Vehicle wraps are an excellent way to advertise your business locally. As you drive around town, people in your community will see your brand and become more familiar with your business. This can lead to more word-of-mouth referrals and increased business.
Vehicle wraps are incredibly versatile and can be used on a variety of vehicles, from cars and trucks to vans and buses. This means that you can use vehicle wraps to advertise your business no matter what type of vehicle you have.
A professional-looking vehicle wrap can give your business a sense of credibility and legitimacy in the eyes of potential customers. When people see a branded vehicle on the road, it can help build trust and make them more likely to do business with you.
Unlike other forms of advertising, such as pop-up ads or telemarketing calls, vehicle wraps are a non-intrusive way to reach potential customers. By simply driving around town, you can expose your brand to a wide audience without interrupting anyone's day or invading their personal space. This can lead to more positive associations with your brand and ultimately more sales.
Q. How long do vehicle wraps last?
Vehicle wraps can last up to 5 years or longer with proper maintenance.
Q. Can vehicle wraps be removed?
Yes, vehicle wraps can be removed without damaging the vehicle's paint job.
Q. Can vehicle wraps be customized?
Yes, vehicle wraps can be customized to fit your business's branding and marketing message.
Q. Do vehicle wraps work for all types of businesses?
Yes, vehicle wraps can work for any type of business, from small startups to large corporations.
Q. Are vehicle wraps expensive?
Vehicle wraps can range in price depending on the size and complexity of the design, but they are generally more cost-effective than other forms of advertising.
Q. How do I care for my vehicle wrap?
To care for your vehicle wrap, you should hand wash it with soap and water and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
In conclusion, vehicle wraps are an effective marketing tool that can give your business a competitive advantage. They provide increased brand visibility, cost-effective marketing, a professional appearance, protection for your vehicle, local advertising, and versatility. With the ability to turn your vehicles into mobile billboards, you can reach a wider audience and attract more customers.

Report the damage to us or your insurance provider as soon as possible. You can file your claim online and we can assist in scheduling a convenient appointment for the glass damage to be repaired. You should not operate the sunroof. This is result in further damage. Try to protect your car’s interior from weather damage. Park in a garage if possible, or cover the opening with low-tact tape and plastic. Be careful not to injure yourself on broken glass.
Does my insurance policy cover broken glass?
If your sunroof (or other glass, e.g., windshield, door glass or rear window) is damaged by something other than a collision, it’s generally handled under your comprehensive coverage. However, understand that this coverage is optional and if you don’t have it, you may be on your own when it comes time to pay for repairs. If you do have it, it is often subject to a deductible. To be certain, please refer to your policy or contact your agent and/or insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage.
Will checking my deductible or inquiring about auto glass claims raise my insurance rates?
Asking your insurance provider about your policy coverage and deductibles is generally not considered a claim. To be certain, please refer to your insurance policy.
Will filing an auto glass claim count towards my insurance policy?
In many cases, insurance companies will not count auto glass damage as a claim on your policy. To be certain, please refer to your policy or contact your agent and/or insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage
What if my deductible is the same or more than the auto glass service?
Before filing a sunroof repair claim, compare the cost of the repair with the amount of your comprehensive deductible. If your deductible is greater than the cost of the estimated repair, it won’t be worth your while to file a claim. We can still assist in getting your vehicle repaired, saving you money and billing you directly. However, some policies will waive the deductible for auto glass. To be certain, please refer to your policy or contact your agent and/or insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage.
What if I don't have glass coverage?
If you don’t have auto glass coverage we can still assist in getting your vehicle repaired, saving you money and billing you directly. Sunroof Express offers multiple payment options including; Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Paypal.
What if I only have liability coverage?
Because liability insurance only provides coverage for damages to another vehicle, auto glass services are not covered under your liability policy. We can still assist in getting your vehicle repaired billing you directly. Sunroof Express offers multiple payment options including; Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Paypal.
Do I need to contact my agent or insurance company before I contact Sunroof Express?
No, we can do that for you. We’re experts at verifying coverage, filing the claim and handling all the paperwork. We’ll contact your insurance company and submit the claim on your behalf.
How can I check the status of my claim?

This is largely a financial issue, as while the new car market in the UK has experienced 18 months of uninterrupted growth, consumers are still being forced to budget carefully when it comes to everyday expenditure. One way in which motorists could reduce their costs is to learn the fundamental principles of car maintenance, so that they can minimise the number of trips that they make to a professional garage without compromising their safety while out on the road.
How to Successfully Maintain your Car
With this in mind, what practical steps can you take to successfully maintain your vehicle and cut the cost of car ownership? Consider the following: –
- Learn the Basic Arts of Car Maintenance: While car maintenance is a diverse and often complex art, there are basic tasks that remain well within the grasp of motorists. When you consider changing a tyre or the oil in your car, for example, these are relatively simple tasks that a large number of drivers are unable to perform. In addition to this, there are also evening and part time educational courses available that teach drivers how to carry out these tasks safely and without damaging their vehicle. During this process you can also learn about your car’s engine, and develop the capacity to perform basic diagnostics in the event of a breakdown.
- Understand your Limitations as an Amateur Mechanic: Depending on how quickly and effectively you manage to learn these basic tasks, you may well want to consider more complex faults and failures. This can be a false economy, however, as there are some car maintenance tasks that should be handled by qualified professionals due to their complexity and the impact that they have on driver safety. It is therefore important to understand your limitations as an amateur mechanic, and avoid performing any repair work that may undermine the performance of your car and cost considerable amounts to rectify.
- Invest in Professional Tools and Equipment: Once you have a basic understanding of specific car maintenance tasks, you can begin to carry these out on a regular basis. It is important that you invest in good quality tools and equipment, however, as otherwise you may undermine any repair work that you carry out. Suppliers such as SGS Engineering are an excellent source of professional grade tools and storage solutions, which will enable you to perform simple tasks effectively and further reduce the need for professional workmanship. While this may require an upfront investment, it delivers excellent value in terms of maintaining the look and performance of your vehicle. | automotive |

Selling a car on Auto Trader’s online car marketplace gives you access to the UK’s largest car buying demographic and is likely to get you the best price possible for your vehicle.Auto Trader
is highly rated for customer satisfaction – the company says sellers are twice as likely
to shift their motors within a week of advertising on the site.
However, selling your car online does come with risks. There’s the potential to be targeted by thieves or scammers, and it’s vital to ensure you provide accurate information when selling your car, avoiding issues down the line.
When you’ve purchased your car, Insurance Choice is here to help, offering bespoke motor trade insurance
designed to fit around a wide range of motor-based trades and individuals. We understand that a car is a considerable investment, so we’ve produced this handy guide to selling vehicles on Auto Trader safely.
Before you advertise your car, it’s important to check you’re actually able to sell it. Any outstanding finance on the vehicle must be settled before you sell it on.
If you’re a dealer, valet, mechanic or business in the motor trade industry, you’ll know how vital it is to protect your vehicle, not only with reliable motor trade insurance
, but also through regular, thorough upkeep. It goes without saying that you should only sell cars in tip-top condition.
Before advertising, ensure:
- Your vehicle is spick and span, inside and out – empty crisp packets and smelly trainers aren’t appealing to buyers!
- You’ve carried out a visual check, confirming the electrics are fully functional – this includes air-con, wipers, stereo and lights.
- You check the tyres are in top condition, not forgetting the spare, should you have one.
- You assess the mechanics are in good nick.
- You consider getting any damage fixed – helps avoid quibbling with buyers.
- Your car has recently had an MOT – this makes your vehicle more saleable.
- You have the relevant paperwork: MOT certificates, the V5C logbook, details of any services or repairs carried out.
For car dealers, selling on Auto Trader provides access to a wider audience and increased exposure. The review function is a valuable aspect of the site, as it allows customers to offer feedback other potential buyers can look to when choosing a dealer. This is another reason to thoroughly prep your vehicles before sale, as positive feedback means more customers in the long run.
Of course, increased exposure means increased risk of theft, vandalism or scams, so ensure dealership vehicles are covered by quality motor trade insurance
The V5C logbook
Whether you’re a motor trade business or an individual selling a car, having an up to date V5C form
The V5C provides a record of the Registered Keeper of the vehicle – the person taxing and registering the vehicle. The Registered Keeper may not be the same as the owner, although this is often the case.
It also includes forms that must be completed and sent to the DVLA, should the registered keeper or car itself be altered.
If you’ve lost your V5C, visit the government website
to apply for a replacement.

Add vehicle description and photos
Now you’ll need to add photos of the vehicle, plus details for buyers to consider, such as service history, warranty information, MOT and mileage. You can also include any extra, optional features that might appeal to buyers, like heated seats, air-con, electric windows, rear parking sensors or sat-nav.
It’s worth noting, car dealers can also include details of the services they offer on their profile page - a good way to maximise profit and upsell to potential customers.
Remember that mis-describing a car is illegal, so make sure you’re honest in your description, flagging any issues you’re aware of.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a car dealer or an individual seller, don’t forget to add your contact details clearly somewhere in the ad. Give a mobile, landline and website if you can.
3 tips for a top advert
You may wonder why you’re only receiving a handful of enquiries once your car advert goes live. This may be because your ad isn’t clear or engaging enough.
Here are some handy hints for making your Auto Trader ad as effective as possible.
Auto Trader recommends between 50 and 75 words
as the ideal advert length. While details such as why you’re selling or the number of previous owners may be interesting to potential buyers, ensure the information you provide is pithy and straightforward.
Keep your description focused on the vehicle you’re selling: avoid waffle, clichés, block capitals and overly technical language. You want your ad to be an easy reading experience for buyers, most of whom will want a quick overview of the most relevant facts and figures.
Make it visually appealing
Photos of a dirty car, taken on a rainy or overcast day, are less likely to entice potential buyers. Take a look at our photo-taking advice below to learn how to take the best shots.
How to take the perfect pictures
Visuals play a huge part in the buyer’s journey, grabbing their attention and (hopefully) providing extra information related to the product they’re interested in.
Buyers on Auto Trader will need to contact the sellers and arrange a viewing, if they’re interested in a car. All of this takes effort, so ensuring your advert has clear, appealing images makes buyers more likely to commit to a viewing.
To begin with, make sure your car is thoroughly cleaned. Try to use a good quality camera, able to take sharp shots that are in focus.
Photograph your vehicle on a dry, sunny day, in front of a relatively plain background. You want the car to be the main focus of your images, so avoid taking photos near other attention-grabbing objects or backdrops.
Pick a location in which you can photograph your vehicle from all angles with ease, and avoid taking snaps from a low crouch or high vantage point: you want the car to appear as it would when viewed from a natural height.Auto Trader
recommends taking plenty of pictures, including:

If you have a convertible, it’s a good idea to take shots of the vehicle with its roof both up and down so the customer can see that it works.
So, you’ve created the perfect car ad, now what? Once potential buyers start contacting you, you’ll need to arrange viewings.
There are several precautions you should take when showing your car, even if you’re an experienced dealer.
Make sure the buyer is genuine
Whether you’re a car dealer or an individual seller, remain consistently cautious when corresponding with buyers.
Always set up a meeting with the interested party, as they should want to see the car before making an offer. Ask any potential buyer for their contact information, such as their full home address, landline number and mobile number. Genuine buyers should have no problem complying.
Never allow a potential buyer to test drive your car alone – always join them. Ensure you ask them to bring a valid driving licence to the viewing, should they wish to test drive the vehicle, and make sure they have the necessary insurance cover – you don’t want to risk liability for any damage.
If you’re a car dealer, having reliable motor trade insurance
is a necessity, providing protection against risks such as targeted vehicle theft and accidental damage caused during test drives.
Have all your paperwork to hand
Many buyers will want to see a V5C form, an MOT certificate and a record of service history. They may want to check the mileage figure on an up-to-date MOT certificate or the address listed on the V5C form.
Make sure you keep your keys in sight at all times, taking them out of the ignition as soon as the test drive is complete. When you make a sale, don’t release your vehicle, keys or important documents until payment has cleared in your bank account.
If you’re a private seller, or trading from home, don’t meet potential buyers in isolated or unfamiliar locations. Always arrange viewings somewhere familiar, such as your home or a public place you know well.
How to accept payment for your vehicle
Online bank transfers are the best way to receive payment, according to Auto Trader
. These allow for quick payment, but they do involve handing your bank details over to the buyer, which you may not feel comfortable doing.
You’re entitled to accept cash, but it’s best to play it safe: arrange the cash handover to take place at a bank, this way staff can verify the authenticity of the notes and count them accurately.
If you’re happy to receive payment via banker’s draft or cheque, ensure you have proof of the buyer’s address and name before going ahead. This means you can contact them if there’s any delay. Don’t release your vehicle until the payment has cleared in your bank account.
Another option is an ESCROW, where a third party takes the role of mediator between you and the buyer, receiving and distributing the payment. If you choose to do this, contact the Financial Conduct Authority first and check the company you’re using is legitimate.
No matter what, remember to provide the buyer with a receipt, retaining a copy for yourself, too. Ensure you let the DVLA know of the change to the vehicle’s ownership status, sending them the bottom section of your V5C form, giving the top section to the buyer. Notify your insurance provider as well, then delete your advert.
So, now you know how to set up your Auto Trader advert, how to maximise your chance of a sale and how to safely close the deal.
Whether or not you’re selling your car, vehicle ownership comes with risks. Around 468,315
vehicle thefts were recorded in the UK between March 2018-2019. Test drives may result in damage or an accident.
If you’re a mechanic, valet, car dealer or business operating within the motor trade industry, the risk is even greater: your vehicles are your livelihood. Here at Insurance Choice we understand how important reliable motor trade insurance is – you’ll be in safe hands.Get a quote today. | automotive |

And considering job role and expected salary is one of the major aspects a potential student or employee could consider.
Job role or expectation could include details like working hours, duties to perform, position info, and usual tasks required to be carried out. While salary expectations could vary depending on multiple factors, experience and position play an inevitable role.
Conventional Duties And Responsibilities
A service engineer or an Audi mechanic in Peoria has a set of predetermined duties that are expected to be performed regularly. Some of the most common and vital ones are pointed out below.
Accurate diagnosis of vehicle
An auto repair in Peoria AZ, is expected to carry out an acute diagnosis of an Audi vehicle brought into the dealership repair center employing available high-tech equipment and deductive reasoning. However, before carrying out the repair process, they must seek confirmation from the client to ensure they know the repair process. They must ensure the repair adheres to the quality standard assurance acknowledged by the brand.
Besides these, one of the primary duties that an Audi mechanic in Peoria is expected to perform is opening the service garage and preparing it for the day’s work, subject to scheduling.
Maintenance of tools and equipment
A service technician isn’t just held accountable for diagnosis of the repair required but also maintenance of tools and equipment needed for regular functioning. The technician is also responsible for arranging the work order and filling out paperwork accurately, so the customer and the firm are content with the service rendered.
Keeping up with the scheduled appointment time is also a part of the Audi technician. Hence they need to be precise with the arrangement and balance the work accurately to render satisfying service.
Billing and payment service
A responsible technician is also accountable for maintaining accounting records by ensuring all payments for the day were duly received from the clients’ services were rendered in the requisite payment form.
Besides these designated tasks, an auto repair technician is also assigned to render some basic day-to-day tasks, including assisting the sales team, receiving new shipments, participating in season cleaning arrangements, and more. They might even facilitate customers without a designated person to find a loan officer and seek other customer services.
According to multiple surveys conducted around the globe, an Audi mechanic typically is expected to earn $40,000 a year. However, this figure is just an estimate, and multiple factors influence the statistics. Some the factors are:
- Years of experience
- The position is the team
- Location of the dealership hired for
Now You Know!
After maturing as a master Audi mechanic in Peoria or surrounding regions, workers might consider running the service station or starting their own service station. A managerial job furnishes the person with nearly the same pay as a master Audi mechanic but may typically extend better perks. | automotive |

The ATO utilises data-matching programs, designed to increase community confidence in the integrity of the tax system.
One such example is owners of luxury cars paying little tax, which will continue to come under ATO scrutiny as it looks to extend its motor vehicle data-matching program for a further three years.
An extension of the data-matching program will see the ATO continue to collect records from motor vehicle registries for the 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22 financial years. This data from all the state and territory motor vehicle registering bodies will identify all motor vehicles sold, transferred or newly registered, where the transfer or market value is $10,000 or more.
Details of individuals involved in the transaction, including their name, address, date of birth and ABN, will also be collected.
Data from the program will be retained for five years. Click here for further infromation on ATO data matching protocols.
The records are designed to help the ATO “identify higher-risk taxpayers with outstanding lodgements and those with undeclared income whose asset holdings may not be proportionate to their declared financial position”.
This information will also assist the ATO in determining whether taxpayers that buy and sell motor vehicles are meeting their tax and super obligations, and if taxpayers are compliant with GST, fringe benefits tax, luxury car tax, fuel schemes and income tax obligations.
The ATO use data collected to:
- help individuals and businesses understand their tax obligations, including registration, lodgment, reporting and payment
- protect honest businesses from unfair competition
- make it easier for individual taxpayers by pre-filling their returns
- assess the levels of voluntary compliance of individuals and businesses with their tax obligations | automotive |

However, the financial implications of car ownership can be daunting. Between loan payments, gas, insurance, and maintenance costs, owning a car can quickly drain your savings. According to ValuePenguin’s analysis of 2020 U.S. Census Bureau data, 8.45% of U.S. households do not own a car, potentially due to these high costs.
One solution to this problem, particularly for those who want the convenience of a car without the financial burden of ownership, is car leasing. Leasing offers an alternative path to mobility—one that comes with its own set of advantages and considerations.
The Advantages of Leasing a Car
Leasing a car can provide numerous benefits over purchasing a brand-new vehicle:
Lower Monthly Payments
One of the main advantages of leasing a car is that it typically involves lower monthly payments compared to purchasing a vehicle. When you lease, you’re only paying for the depreciation of the car during the lease term, not the entire value of the vehicle. This can make leasing an attractive option for those looking to drive a new car without committing to high monthly payments.
Drive Newer Models
Leasing allows drivers to consistently upgrade their vehicles every few years. This means you’ll always have access to the latest models equipped with the most recent technology and safety features. If staying up-to-date with automotive trends and technologies is important to you, leasing may be a good fit.
Fewer Maintenance Worries
Since lease terms typically last for two to three years, the vehicle is often under warranty for the entire lease period. This can significantly reduce the cost and stress associated with car repairs and maintenance. Any major issues that arise are generally covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, providing peace of mind and financial protection.
No Resale Hassles
Unlike owning a car, when you lease, there’s no need to worry about selling or trading in the vehicle when you’re ready for a new one. At the end of your lease term, you simply return the car to the dealership. This eliminates the hassle and potential stress of negotiating trade-in values or selling a used car on the private market.
Timing Your Car Lease for Optimal Savings
Leasing a car can be a financially savvy move, especially if you time it correctly. Dealerships often have specific periods throughout the year when they’re looking to clear out older inventory and meet sales quotas. These are opportune times to lease a car as dealerships typically offer attractive deals.
Here’s a more detailed look at the best months for leasing a car:
As the year starts to wind down, dealerships begin to receive inventory for the next year’s models. This leads them to clear out the current year’s stock, often resulting in attractive lease deals, especially on models from the outgoing year.
The Black Friday shopping period isn’t exclusive to retail stores. Many car dealerships also offer significant savings during this time. It’s an excellent opportunity to explore lease offers as dealerships roll out special deals to draw in customers.
With the end of the year looming, dealerships are typically focused on meeting their annual sales targets. They often put forth enticing lease deals to boost their sales figures before the year concludes. Moreover, with next year’s models on the horizon, they have added motivation to clear their lots, leading to even better deals.
End of Each Quarter (March, June, September, December)
Dealerships usually have quarterly sales targets in addition to their monthly and yearly goals. These quarter-end periods can be opportune times to lease a car, as dealerships might offer improved deals to meet these targets.
Holiday Weekends (Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc.)
Dealerships frequently run promotional sales during extended holiday weekends. These occasions can present excellent opportunities to lease a car, as you might find special lease deals that go beyond standard offers.
New Year’s Day
Despite signaling the start of a new calendar year, New Year’s Day can still be a fruitful time to lease a car. Dealerships might be striving to clear remaining inventory from the previous year and meet any leftover sales targets.
End of the Model Year
While this doesn’t map to a specific month, the end of a model year is generally a good time to lease. This period comes when car manufacturers release new models, prompting dealerships to offer appealing deals to clear space for the incoming inventory.
However, there are also less favorable times to lease a car:
New Model Release
When a car manufacturer releases a new model, it often results in a frenzy of excitement and demand. During this period, the supply of the new model might not meet the high demand, causing lease prices to surge. Waiting a few months for the initial excitement to die down can often result in more favorable lease terms as dealerships have more inventory and are more inclined to negotiate.
Early in the Model Year
The early part of the model year isn’t usually the best time to lease a car. Dealerships often have a lot of inventory during this time and aren’t under pressure to move last year’s models. This means they might be less willing to offer attractive lease deals or negotiate on price.
Spring and Summer Months
Warmer weather tends to bring out more car shoppers, leading to increased demand. With more potential customers, dealerships may not feel the need to offer as many enticing lease deals. The spring and summer months also coincide with tax refund season when people might have extra cash to spend, potentially driving up prices.
Beginning of the Month
The start of a new month is typically a less advantageous time to lease a car. Dealerships have a whole month ahead to meet their sales targets and might not be as motivated to offer great deals. On the other hand, the end of the month can often be a good time to lease as dealerships might be more eager to close deals to hit their sales quotas.
During Major Product Recalls
If a car model is undergoing a major recall, it could affect lease prices. The reduced availability of that model could lead to higher demand for other models, potentially increasing their lease prices.
Remember that these are general guidelines and actual lease prices can vary depending on various factors, including individual dealership promotions and local market conditions. It’s always a good idea to do thorough research and shop around before committing to a lease agreement to ensure you’re getting the best deal possible.
Wrapping Up: Tips for Securing the Best Car Lease Deal
Understanding the best times to lease a car can provide a significant advantage when it comes to negotiating your lease terms. However, while timing plays a crucial role, there are other factors to consider to ensure you secure the best car lease deal:
Spend time researching different car models, lease terms, and dealerships. Knowledge is power when it comes to negotiating.
Understand Your Needs
Know what kind of car you need, how long you want the lease for, and how many miles you drive annually. Tailoring your lease to your specific needs can help avoid costly overage charges.
Don’t be afraid to negotiate. The sticker price isn’t always final, and there’s often room for negotiation.
Don’t settle for the first deal you find. Shop around at different dealerships and compare prices to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Read the Fine Print
Make sure you understand all the terms of your lease agreement before signing. Look out for any hidden fees or charges that could add up over time.
Remember, the best lease deal for you is one that fits your budget, meets your driving needs, and gives you the flexibility you desire. By considering these tips and timing your lease strategically, you’re well on your way to securing a fantastic car lease deal. | automotive |

If you’re interested in a family vehicle, we have good news: You don’t have to spend a fortune to buy a minivan. Yes, new vans can be pricey, with some models available for nearly $50,000, but you can find a high-quality used minivan at surprisingly good prices now. To prove it, we’ve rounded up our favorite used minivans available today for a budget-friendly $10,000 or less.
2008-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan
Fully redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Dodge Grand Caravan offers a spacious interior and three available V6 engines. While fuel economy is disappointing — even the most efficient powertrain achieves only 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg on the highway — we like the standard safety features, which include side-curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control. We also like the van’s long list of options, which includes a backup camera, rear parking sensors and rear cross-traffic alert. If you’re interested, you should have no trouble finding a Grand Caravan in this price range, as the average asking price for a 2008-2010 model on Autotrader is just over $10,000.
2005-2007 Honda Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey is a perennial favorite minivan thanks to its ultra-roomy interior, a long list of modern conveniences and a powerful yet efficient standard engine. We especially love the 2005-2007 model, as it offers more of everything (including interior space and modern convenience features) compared to the original sliding door Odyssey, which lasted from 1999 to 2004, without a hefty price premium. Currently, there are nearly 1,800 different 2005 to 2007 Odyssey models available on Autotrader for around $10,000 or less, which makes this reliable minivan surprisingly affordable, too.
2007-2008 Hyundai Entourage
One way to find a good deal on a minivan is to buy a model few drivers have heard about, such as the Hyundai Entourage, a mechanical twin of the Kia Sedona, which was only sold for the 2007 and 2008 model years. Despite its low sales volume, the Entourage had some major benefits, such as a powerful 242-horsepower V6, standard side-curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes and options including dual power-sliding doors, leather upholstery, power adjustable pedals, parking sensors and a DVD entertainment system. You’ll have to find a high-end model to take advantage of those features, but with more than 170 different examples of the 2007-2008 Entourage currently listed on Autotrader for around $10,000 or less, you should have a wide selection.
Although the 2012 Mazda5 is smaller than most minivans, its size comes with a few benefits. One of them is fuel economy, as the 157-hp 4-cylinder Mazda5 returns an excellent 21 mpg city/28 mpg hwy, which is far better than V6-powered vans. We also like its ease of parking and excellent maneuverability, making it perfect for city life. For the equipment, we especially like the Grand Touring model, which boasts excellent features, such as automatic xenon headlights, automatic wipers, leather upholstery and heated front seats. You should have no trouble finding one, too, as there are currently 65 different 2012 Mazda5 models on Autotrader for around $10,000 or less, and far more are available if you’re willing to consider the van’s first-generation model, which was offered from 2006 to 2010.
2006-2009 Nissan Quest
Get past its unusual styling and you’ll find the 2006-2009 Nissan Quest is one of the most endearing vans on the market. It has a long list of equipment, especially in upscale SE models, which include dual power-sliding doors, alloy wheels, rear park assist, leather upholstery, Bluetooth, a 10-speaker Bose audio system and more. We also like the Quest’s reliable 3.5-liter V6 engine, which has consistently proven itself in a wide variety of Nissan models, and its reasonable pricing, as there are currently 435 different 2006-2009 Quest models available on Autotrader for around $10,000 or less.
2004-2007 Toyota Sienna
Don’t let its age fool you: The 2004-2007 Toyota Sienna is among the most reliable used minivans on our list, thanks to a dependable Toyota drivetrain finding its way into millions of the brand’s cars, SUVs and vans over the years. We also like the Sienna’s available all-wheel drive, seating for up to eight passengers and a fold-flat third-row seat. While the Sienna tends to be pricier than other vans, you should have no trouble finding a 2004-2007 model within this budget, as there are currently more than 1,600 different examples listed on Autotrader across the country for around $10,000 or less. | automotive |

As the rest of the world pushes for the adoption of electric vehicles, North America seems to be behind the curve. In this article, we look at why this might be, and how the future of electric transportation might affect that.
Electric vehicles around the world.
Around the world, electric vehicles (EVs) are growing in popularity. In December of 2021, Europe saw the sales of EVs overtake the sale of diesel cars for the first time. China is experiencing similar growth in the EV industry.
In the United States, growth is more stagnant. According to Wired, EVs “made up just 4 percent of vehicles sale last year. While the world falls in love with electric cars, the US is holding out.”
Projections aren’t great, either. Bank of America forecasts that EVs will make up just 20% of the U.S. car market by 2030, rather than the nation’s public goal of 50%.
EV adoption is pressing, but not simple.
With the rising price of gas, and the reality that transportation is a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, adopting electric vehicles sounds like a great solution. However, EV adoption has not proven as simple as it sounds.
Some of the barriers include:
- Social resistance, and reluctance to change from the familiarity of “fill up with gas and go” vehicles.
- The price of individual electric vehicles – an electric Ford Focus, for example, is nearly twice the cost of a gas-powered one.
- A lack of overall awareness among consumers regarding the strengths of EVs.
- Lack of governmental enforcement regarding carbon emissions initiatives.
- Lack of accessible charging point infrastructure across the country.
Despite all these barriers, research has shown that Americans want electric vehicles, and would be more likely to adopt them quickly if they were more affordable. The reality is similar in Canada, with 71% of consumers saying they’d consider an EV for their next vehicle, but 90% feeling they still have to do more research to address their concerns.
Cars aren’t the only transportation pushing towards electrification.
While your business might not be able to afford purchasing electric company cars, what about a ticket on an electric plane for future business trips? Believe it or not, this reality might be sooner than you think.
In fact, according to Afar, “ airlines like United and EasyJet are onboard as early adopters, with the first U.S. commercial routes slated for 2026.”
Again, with electrified planes, the U.S. is slated to be a bit behind global electric leaders in regards to adoption. For example, Denmark and Sweden plan to make all domestic flights fossil fuel-free by 2030.
What will flying electric be like?
There are still some kinks to work out of electric planes. As Afar explains, “today’s batteries aren’t nearly as energy-dense as jet fuel, requiring bulk and weight that pose significant aerodynamic challenges.”
What this means is, smaller batteries – suitable for shorter flights – shouldn’t pose much of an issue. Short domestic flights are very doable with electric planes. However, larger planes and longer routes will be more difficult, and farther away in the future.
Even with just shorter flights being covered by electric planes, this has the potential to reduce fuel expenses and carbon emissions for the aviation industry significantly. Roughly half of the flight routes operated worldwide today are less than 500 miles.
Electric fleets are a transnational conundrum.
Like planes, long-haul trucks are another transportation sector headed in the direction of electrification. But how quickly and smoothly will that transition happen?
In North America, that will entirely depend on transnational cooperation. Because so much of long-haul trucking involved crossing borders, there will need to be some uniformity between American and Canadian policy on electric trucks in order for it to be worth it for operations on both sides of the border.
However, Canada plans to electrify all heavy-duty trucks by 2040.
Despite its varying speed across the globe, electrification is inevitable. The events of 2022 so far have shown the difficulties of relying on fuel, despite the existing challenges that still remain in EV adoption. However, as the decade continues, we can expect to see more progress towards electrification. | automotive |

For example a heavy bumper, fuel tank, and spare tire mounted to a swing-out tire carrier. All of those items are scheduled for my vehicle, with the rear bumper, high lift jack, and spare tire weighing nearly 250lbs. The rearward frame section, just before the shock mount is not boxed as the front 2/3 of the frame is. 2000 and older Tacoma's are even more susceptible to frame failure as the frame does not have the additional reinforcement at the first bend (by the shock mount). The 2001 and newer frames are much stronger there, but the repeated flexing of the frame because of the rear bumper combination led me to want the frame reinforced for safety.

I purchased this bike from a close friend’s dad who bought it new from a motorcycle shop in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. When I purchased the bike it was in good condition. I cleaned and tuned it up just in time for my junior and senior year of college. I rode my new moped up the big hill to campus and around town with a smile ear to ear. It was great for commuting and zipping around town.
One day when I was riding home between classes, I got stuck in traffic. I hit the the throttle hard and took off, but traffic started to come to a stop. I let go of the throttle but nothing happened, the moped continued on full speed ahead. And soon I was going to be crumpled into the back of a yellow VW bug! I ditched the bike and slid down the road. The throttle cable had become pinched in the steering column. I was banged up, the bike was banged up, and I limped it home by shutting the ignition on and off as I went down the hill to control my speed. I dented the tank pretty good, broke the head light, bent a pedal arm, and screwed up the controls. I was strapped for time while in school, so I did the bare minimum to get it back together but I always had a dream of restoring it.
Fast forward to 2016. I had some time and I was looking for a project. I thought why not see what I can make of this moped. I went all out with it.
I started this process by breaking the bike down and stripping it to the frame. I found a guy in California that would repair the dents in the tank, one of the few people that does this in the US. I then found a friend who owns an auto body shop to paint the tank and a few spare parts. I decided on a gun metal gray paint as I wanted the bike to have an enduro motorcycle look.
I upgraded the suspension to off road suspension, it lifted the bike a good 3-4” higher than its previous stance. I rebuilt the motor and bumped the displacement to 64cc’s and installed a larger 15mm carb. I machined the lower cases to match the new air intake channels. I polished the exhaust and intake ports. The bike was switched over to a 100w magneto with electronic ignition system. A new light weight crank shaft was installed for higher revs and a new clutch for better acceleration. I re-geared the bike to have good low end power. I put on a MLM side bleed expansion pipe for more power. New fenders for the off road look. New angel eye head light, off road tires, and temp indicator. I had the whole frame sand blasted and powder coated gloss black.
The bike is a dream come true and really rips. The clutch needs a bit of tweaking when I get more time. So far my speed tests show about a 12mph increase with a top speed around 47mph. This project was full of frustrations and fun but blasting down the road sure was worth it! | automotive |

Electric car. An electric car is a vehicle powered by an electric motor which runs on a system of rechargeable batteries.(These are at present of the lead-acid variety, although new types, including zinc-chlorine, sodium-sulphur and fuel cells, are being developed.) The motor converts the battery’s electrical energy into kinetic energy. The driver simply switches on the power, selects “Forward” or “Reverse”, and steps on the accelerator pedal.
Like gasoline-powered cars, electric vehicles have a system of gears, shafts, and joints to transmit motion from the motor to the car wheels. However, they do not have clutches or multi-speed transmission. In order to go backwards, the flow of electricity through the motor is reversed, changing the rotation of the motor and causing the power train to make the wheels reverse direction. Moreover, they do not have the high number of moving parts that an internal-combustion engine has, since the electric motor has only a single rotating element.
MACCHINE ELETTRICHE, TESINA
In most electric cars, the braking system acts as a battery charger. When drivers take their feet off the accelerator, the motor acts as a generator, converting the energy produced by the movement of the vehicle back into electricity and storing it in the battery. This conversion of kinetic energy into electric energy slows the car. To stop the car quickly, however, there is also a brake pedal and a traditional braking system which works on the wheels.
In the early days of automobiles, electric cars were serious rivals to gasoline cars. The first automobile to exceed 100 km an hour was an electric car (Camille Janatzy’s La Jamais Contente, 1899). In 1900, 40% of U.S. cars were powered by steam, 38% by electricity and only 22% by gasoline (petrol). The gasoline car was unreliable and noisy. Moreover, it had to be started by hand crank, and this made it difficult to operate. The electric car, on the other hand, was silent, self-starting and needed minimal maintenance, but it was limited by its short range (50-60 km) and its dependence on recharging equipment. Eventually, it was another application of battery power, the electric self-starter, that helped to make the gasoline car more attractive, especially for women motorists.
TESINA SVOLTA SULL'AUTOMOBILE
Electric cars began to reappear in the 1960s as an answer to problems of air pollution in city centres, and in the 1970s, as a result of oil shortages. Since then, several car manufactures (Ford, Nissan, Volkswagen) have included electric cars in their range. More recently, in 1996, General Motors Corporation announced the first modern, mass-produced car designed specifically as an electric car (until then, electric cars were generally created by replacing the gasoline engines and fuel tanks of conventional cars with electric motors and batteries). | automotive |

Please note though that E-bikes are rather large, wide and sturdy, while on some of our models there is limited space on the supporting platform or in between two wheel gutters. Our recommendation is to choose a bike rack where your bikes are comfortably held by the wheeltrays and straps, and where the bikes are not rubbing against each other, such as our Thule Easyfold XT and Thule Velospace XT. We advise to do a test mount on the models shown in the Local Dealer's showroom.

$200,000 Car Accident Settlement Left Turning Driver
Douglas Rallo has recovered $200,000 ($100,000 for each client) who were injured when a car coming in the opposite direction, made left turn in front of them. The first took place on Route 45 near Grand Avenue in Warren Township, and the other on Route 45 at the intersection with O’Plaine Road in Grayslake.
“Left turning vehicles cause a lot of crashes”, said Rallo. “The vehicle going straight has the right-of-way, and oncoming vehicles need to wait until it is safe before turning in front of them. Many times the left turner misjudges the situation and their negligence results in significant injury”.
If you’ve been injured by someone who turned left in front of you, causing a crash, call Doug Rallo at 847-816-8780. | automotive |

Another common problem we deal with on a regular basis are clutches. Whether it is clutch repair or clutch replacement, Derham’s Alignment is your one-stop auto repair shop. Clutches, like so many other parts in a vehicle, wear out over time. The rate of clutch wear depends on several factors: personal driving style, geographic landscape in which you drive, road conditions and weather conditions. If your clutch has worn down to where it is no longer effective, your vehicle will require a clutch replacement.
Wilmington, NC Clutch Repair
Clutch repair is generally considered a clutch replacement because in most cases, the clutch can’t be repaired. However, there are certain circumstances in which you can repair, or adjust the clutch rather than having it replaced. In some cases, you may only need to have certain parts replaced, which may be a cheaper proposition.
A clutch adjustment may be all that is needed if you hear a grinding noise as you shift. This could simply be the clutch not completely disengaging from the the transmission. An adjustment to the clutch will not only fix the grinding noise, but prevent additional wear and tear on the clutch disc.
Wilmington NC Clutch Replacement
In many cases, it is necessary to replace the clutch altogether. Clutches have a usage life that depends on many factors. In near perfect conditions, you may expect a clutch to last 100,000 miles, but tough conditions can reduce this as low as 25,000 miles. There are many different components that make up your clutch. In some cases, clutch failure may be the result of one component failing or multiple components. Our experienced technicians can review and diagnose any clutch repair or replacement issue in the early stages to save you the most money possible and get your vehicle back to top performance.
How to Spot Clutch Problems
Problems with your clutch can produce symptoms with vehicle performance. For this reason, the longer you let the clutch problems linger, the more it can cost you. Here are a few signs that you may have problems with your vehicle’s clutch.
- Poor gas mileage
- Trouble climbing hills (having to downshift more)
- Engine revs up as you start to put the car into motion (or when you attempt to accelerate)
- The clutch feels still
- Clutch can no longer be adjusted to provide pedal slack
The cost to repair or replace your clutch will depend upon several variables. The extent of the problems and the type of vehicle will determine what is needed and the cost. Give us a call at 910-399-4442 or stop by our shop at 6609 Market Street in Wilmington, NC to let us take a look at your clutch and transmission. | automotive |

This is the complete car inspection checklist for buyers conducting searches for high-quality used cars on a budget.
Interior and Exterior Visual Inspection
For the first part of your used car inspection, take a walk around the car’s exterior and look for signs that could signify frame damage, such as rust, dents, and scratches. According to CARFAX, stand behind the vehicle and look for uneven body panels, usually a sign of poor repair work after an accident. Mismatched paint also indicates substandard bodywork. Open and close each of the doors of the used vehicle and the trunk to make sure they glide smoothly.
The vehicle’s tires can also provide clues about its overall condition. Inspect each one carefully for scuff marks, bulges, cracks, and sufficient tread with even wear. If you notice a different brand on one of the tires, ask the seller why it was swapped out.
Next, inspect the inside of the vehicle for damaged upholstery or other undue wear and tear. A moldy smell is a sign of water damage, often caused by a leak. The upholstery and floor mats should be clean and free of stains.
Take the car for a test drive before buying a used car. When you take a spin, use this checklist to guide your evaluation:
- Do you have enough room in the car, especially if you are tall or large?
- Do you feel comfortable while driving? Are the seats easy to adjust?
- Can you see well while driving? Do you have noticeable blind spots when you check the mirrors?
- Do you smell gas, oil, or other odors that could indicate fluid leaks or other issues under the hood?
- Do the turn signals, brake lights, headlights, and heating and air conditioning systems work correctly?
- Do you notice any unusual engine noises such as clanking or banging? Does the engine accelerate as expected?
A vehicle history report from CARFAX or a similar agency provides detailed information that can reveal potential problems with a car you plan to buy. You just need the vehicle identification number (VIN) to request this type of report. If you purchase a used car from a dealer, you can often request the sales representative’s vehicle report.
The report will include data from public motor vehicle record and other sources, such as the vehicles:
- Fire, flood, or other weather damage
- Status of the car title
- Maintenance records
- Ownership, registration, and inspection history
- Mileage readings
Having the facts can protect you from buying a lemon. You may also want to check the Kelley Blue Book value of the car, which can provide information about whether the price tag matches a fair price for that car’s make and model.
You can only tell so much about preowned cars without a professional opinion. If the car checks out after you review the items above, take it to a mechanic you trust for advice.
Car buyers should get permission to drive the car off the lot and have an independent inspection. Sellers who refuse likely have something to hide, such as poorly done repairs or odometer issues.
If you’re making this type of purchase and you don’t know where to get an expert opinion, contact Highline Car Care in the Gilbert area. We help our customers in Mesa and surrounding areas make sure that used cars are working properly before they buy these vehicles. If the price is right and low mileage looks good, bring the vehicle to our team for a thorough inspection when buying used. | automotive |

There are many forms of Vehicle related crime ranging from the opportunist theft of items from a vehicle to organised theft of goods in transit.
There are also many interested parties involved in the prevention of Vehicle related crime ranging from the vehicle owner trying to protect his property to the Commercial Fleet Operator trying to deliver his cargo. There are the interests of the Insurance companies trying to reduce their losses and obviously that of the Police Force fighting crime. Because of the varied nature of Vehicle Crime there are many approaches to crime prevention and there are many companies now producing a wide variety of crime prevention methods, but there is one common denominator, cost effectiveness.
This suggests that before taking any crime prevention measures a risk assessment should be made together with the costs involved. These costs should not only include the loss of a vehicle, goods or property but also an inconvenience factor, a possible loss of earnings, and even the trauma often associated with Vehicle Crime.
There are many sources of information available on Crime Prevention methods, through the Motoring Press and Police Crime Prevention publications and there are two non-profit making organisations, Thatcham and the Vehicle Security Installation Board (VSIB), both specialising in the standards for Vehicle Security.
Thatcham is the Insurance companies own testing house that sets the standard and test and accredits security products. This enables insurance companies to recognise good security when assessing premiums and in some cases discount the insurance premium to those customers investing in good security. Thatcham have accredited security products for Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles, Heavy Goods Vehicles and Motorcycles.
The VSIB is responsible for the industry’s own Codes of Practice for the installation of security to, Cars and Light commercial Vehicles, Heavy Goods Vehicles, Motorcycles and is in the process of developing a code for the installation of security to Plant. It is recognised that no matter how good a security product is if it is not installed correctly it is of no value. To counter this the VSIB accredits Vehicle Security Installation Companies that can prove they can operate to the Code of Practice as they monitor an Accredited Company’s standard of work and customer satisfaction. These Accredited Companies issue an embossed VSIB certificate for every installation they complete. When the product installed is a Thatcham approved system, it will satisfy any Insurance Company requirements.
Specific Vehicle Crime
The Opportunist Theft
The Opportunist theft is the simplest form of vehicle related crime. It is, as its name suggests, the thief stealing a vehicle or goods from a vehicle when the opportunity is presented. This is possibly the easiest to prevent, as the owner of the vehicle is usually responsible for presenting the opportunity to the thief in the first place.
Simply locking the vehicle at all times, even when paying for petrol at the petrol station forecourt, or when just going back into the house when you have forgotten something, is essential. Not leaving valuable items in the vehicle, or if you must, certainly not leaving them on show. Lock them in the boot, a thief will look under seats and in glove boxes. Consideration should also be given when parking a vehicle. The government are encouraging secure car parks with gate controls and CCTV. These should be used. Park under street lamps or in well used areas, not in dark secluded back streets.
Fit a mechanical steering wheel lock or gear lever lock, or have passive arming two-circuit immobiliser fitted to prevent the thief from driving the vehicle away. (The passive arming feature means the system arms itself after the ignition is turned off so it is impossible to forget to arm the system).
Have a remote controlled alarm system fitted, these can include the passive arming two-circuit immobiliser. Make sure a visible indication has been fitted to act as a deterrent, (e.g. stickers in the windows that show an alarm is fitted, but not which make), and a visible indication is armed, (usually a flashing light on the dash board). But if this is fitted always remember to arm the system as it is also an indication, when not flashing, that the system is disarmed. If the vehicle has it’s own central locking it is a good idea to have an alarm system fitted that can be connected to lock/unlock the vehicle when the alarm system is armed/disarmed. This convenience feature will help insure the system is always armed when you leave the vehicle.
There are many features available to combine with an alarm system such as the closure of electric windows and sunroof when the system is armed (it is even possible to close the electrically operated hood of some convertible cars), or the detection of the vehicle being jacked up to steal wheels and tyres, and the possibility of a pager to inform the driver when away from the vehicle that it is being tampered with. There are even on the market systems with multi-channel remote controllers which apart from being used to arm and disarm the security system they can open the vehicle owners own electrically operated driveway gates or garage doors.
The “professional” theft is more difficult to combat. Unlike the opportunist thief who looks for the easy steal to present itself they will go to great lengths to target specific vehicles or commercial cargoes. They will have in place efficient methods to dispose of a vehicle, or it’s cargo quickly, to change a vehicles identity or dismantle it for spare parts, to export it, or even hide it for future use in another crime.
Again an assessment needs to be made of the specific risks involved in relation to the vehicles value and use. There is another factor involved in this assessment and that is of the personal risk that may be involved for the owner or operator of the vehicle where there is the possibility of the vehicle being hi-jacked.
The requirements of insurance companies have more relevance with the higher risk vehicles and cargoes, even to the extent of certain levels of security being mandatory before a policy is issued. Physical security is an important element of theft prevention particularly for commercial vehicles. This can take the form of additional high security locks, window bars or grills, padlocks and even a safe fixed into the vehicle.
Electronic security can range from immobilisation of the engine and fuel systems to, in the case of heavy goods vehicles, preventing the release of the air brakes after the hand brake has been applied. There are alarm systems that can be programmed to suit the operation of the vehicle, systems that automatically arm themselves when the operator leaves the vehicle. Systems that automatically arm the load space of a vehicle while leaving the driver’s area disarmed so the vehicle can be driven with the cargo secured (it has been known for goods to be stolen from a vehicle while it is stationary at traffic lights).
Another option is a silent alarm system that can activate a warning to a control centre. This would also incorporate a tracking device so the control centre can pinpoint the location of the vehicle and direct the police to intercept the stolen vehicle. With some more sophisticated versions of this system the control centre can immobilise the vehicle when it is next stationary or slowly reduce the vehicles power until it comes to a halt.
In the case of commercial vehicles it is always important to consider the use of the vehicle. A multi-drop delivery vehicle would have different requirements to a long haul single drop vehicle. With due respect to the vehicle driver, he is not necessarily the owner of the vehicle or it’s cargo so his attitude to security may be casual. It is therefore important to remove the need to arm or lock the vehicle by installing systems that arm themselves when the vehicle is left unattended, (automatic alarm systems) and lock themselves when the doors are shut (slam-locks). This only leaves the driver the task of disarming the system and unlocking the door when gaining entry to the vehicle.
There are many ways to make the operation of the security system convenient for the vehicle operator, such as transponders attached to the vehicles keys to eliminate the need to physically mobilise the vehicle, remote radio operation of disarming the system and unlocking the vehicle, and even a transponder attached to the drivers person so the vehicle is able to recognise the legal operator of the vehicle before it mobilises.
Vehicle security is very complex subject and it is important to get as much information as possible before making risk assessment and deciding on the level of security needed for the particular vehicle and it’s operation. It is recognised that cost effectiveness is important but be sure to include all the potential costs of loss of the vehicle in your assessment. Be sure to include any Insurance Company requirements. | automotive |

Trying to get car insurance after you’ve had a run-in with the law can be stressful. It’s confusing, it feels like everything is more expensive, and some insurance companies won’t talk to you at all.
But before you go rummaging for bus timetables, I’ve got good news! It is possible to get affordable car insurance after a conviction.
I’ve put together this handy guide to help break down the world of car insurance for you. I’ll take you through the basics, give you some quick tips on how to snag the best deal for you, and help you understand your conviction code.
What Do Penalty Points Mean For My Car Insurance?
If you have ever got a few penalty points or even a conviction on your driving record, you might have noticed that your car insurance bill is looking a bit scarier. You might even have found that some insurance companies won’t consider giving you a policy at all.
This happens because car insurance companies calculate the cost of your premiums based on how much of a risk you are. So, if you have a few endorsements to your name – endorsements are penalty points, etc. – car insurers assume that you are more likely to make an expensive claim on your insurance.
You could argue that this is just common sense. Anyone who commits driving offences regularly drives a bit dangerously, so is more likely to be involved in a collision. Someone with a clean record, on the other hand, is much more likely to drive safely with respect for the law and other road users.
Usually, you need to disclose your conviction codes when you renew or start a new policy. From this code, your insurers will know what your conviction is and how much of a perceived risk you pose. If your insurance premiums are going to get more expensive, they’re going to get more expensive now.
Will Penalty Points Make Car Insurance Unaffordable?
Penalty points will increase the cost of your car insurance, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll become unaffordable.
From my own research, I can tell you that your car insurance is likely to increase by at least 25% as soon as you get points on your license. This is the most dramatic increase that you’re likely to see on your insurance. Extra points and convictions will increase the cost of your premiums, but not as much as this initial step up.
Keep in mind that this isn’t personal. There isn’t someone sitting at a desk reading your file and working out how risky you are. It’s all computer-generated. The information that you provide these insurance companies groups you with people who have inputted similar information.
Those who have similar information or driving histories are usually a similar risk to the insurance company. The biggest indicator of risk for the insurance company is a history of penalty points or driving convictions. Basically, you’re going to be put in the same group as other people with your conviction codes. This group are all going to have premiums that are similar costs.
I’ll go into more detail in a moment, but other common risk factors that are associated with risky and, therefore, expensive drivers include your car’s make and model, and your age. Even without any convictions, a 20-year-old driving a BMW 1 Series with modifications will have more expensive insurance than a 40-year-old driving a Skoda.
But what does this mean? Well, you might be able to make your insurance a bit cheaper by limiting the number or risk categories that you fall into. Swapping your car for a less powerful model could be your first step.
Do My Insurance Providers Need to Know About My Driving Record?
You need to tell your insurance company about any points or convictions on your driving record. It’s a criminal offence under the Road Traffic Act 1998 to deliberately not tell your insurance company, especially if they ask you directly.
You can’t not tell anyone and cross your fingers that your insurance is cheap! Withholding this vital information can be classed as misrepresentation, which will invalidate your insurance on top of being illegal.
Checking the terms of your contract is a good idea because you don’t always have to tell your insurance company immediately. It’s quite common to only need to tell your insurance company when you renew your policy or start a new one.
But you need to tell your insurers immediately if you are banned from driving. Bans typically happen after you have racked up 12 points or more in a 3-year window. It’s actually illegal to not tell your insurance company when you’ve been banned.
Fortunately, spent convictions will not have an impact on your car insurance. You don’t have to tell your insurers about your spent driving convictions, even if they ask.
How Do I Find Cheap Car Insurance With Penalty Points?
Trying to find insurance after a driving conviction or penalty points can be a nightmare. It’s expensive, and some companies won’t deal with you at all. What do you do?
Well, from what I’ve seen, your best bet is to shop around as much as possible. Getting as many quotes from as many different insurance providers as possible will help increase the likelihood that you snag a good deal.
Remember, each insurance company has its own rules and rates. So, a certain conviction might bump up your rate more with one company than another. Keep looking, and you just might find the best deal for you!
Aside from shopping around, here are some other things that you can do to help lower the cost of your car insurance:
- Get a different car: As I mentioned above, BMW 1 Series with modifications are more expensive to insure than Skodas, no matter how old you are. It might be drastic, but a cheaper insurance group for your car can make a massive difference to the cost of your insurance.
- Black box insurance: You can give your insurance provider more information about your driving style by installing a black box. Black boxes or telematics monitor your driving and how well you stick to the Highway Code and other road laws. The more information they have on you, the less your perceived risk, and the cheaper your insurance should be.
- Add extra drivers to your policy: Adding an experienced driver with a clean record to your policy can help lower your premiums, especially for young drivers. Getting an experienced driver on your car means that you are driving for fewer miles, meaning that there is less ‘risky driving’ happening in the eyes of your insurance provider.
- Taking the Pass Plus or RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders Test: Successful advanced driving tests can lower your premiums as they prove that you are a well-informed driver.
Which Car Should I Get After A Driving Conviction?
As I’ve already talked about, downgrading your car is a drastic but effective way to get cheaper insurance. But which ones are the cheapest? If you’re going to commit to giving up your car, the savings had better be brilliant!
Here are a few cars that are some of the cheapest to insure:
- Citroen C1
- Ford Fiesta
- Ford KA+
- Renault Clio
- Skoda Yeti.
Which Driving Convictions Have the Biggest Impact On My Insurance?
Driving convictions are not all equal, and some will show you as a more dangerous driver than others. This can mean that some conviction codes have a bigger impact on your insurance than others.
Here is my quick breakdown of conviction codes and how they are likely to impact your insurance.
Most Significant Impact
Your insurance is going to be most affected by careless driving offences. Drink and drug-related offences are also very serious and will have a similar impact.
People have the most issues finding insurance if they have these conviction codes. If you do find insurance, be prepared to pay high premiums with a high excess.
The following offences are visible on your driving record for 11 years and will impact your insurance during this time.
|CD40||Careless Driving||Causing death through careless driving when unfit through drink||3 to 11|
|CD50||Careless Driving||Causing death by careless driving when unfit through drugs||3 to 11|

|DR61||Drinking Offences||Refusing to give permission for analysis of a blood sample that was taken without consent due to incapacity in circumstances other than driving or attempting to drive||10|
|DG10||Drug Offences||Driving or attempting to drive with drug level above specified limit||3 to 11|
|DG60||Drug Offences||Causing death by careless driving with drug level above the limit||3 to 11|
|DR80||Drug Offences||Driving or attempting to drive when unfit through drugs||3 to 11|
Other offences have a similar impact on your insurance as the above, but are visible for 4 years.

|BA60||Disqualified Driver||Causing serious injury by driving while disqualified||3 to 11|

https://dotrim.com/time-to-tune-up-your-car-wash/ | 2020-02-19T19:31:37 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875144167.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20200219184416-20200219214416-00171.warc.gz | 0.944905 | 390 | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-10__0__78847527 | en | Adding a car washing facility to your gas station or automotive service business can be a great way to raise revenue while providing your customers with a convenient service they need regularly to maintain their vehicles. Of course, adding any new facility also means adding in the procedures needed to keep it looking sharp and functioning properly, and this is doubly important when you are talking about an automated service like a car wash. When it comes time for car wash maintenance, building a relationship with a friendly professional contractor will mean you have someone who knows your facilities helping you to keep an eye on the wear and tear they experience over the years. This also leads to increased operational efficiency.
An Ounce of Prevention
Whenever you’re maintaining machines that work most of the day, it’s better to replace wearing parts when they show signs of stress instead of waiting for them to break. If they break during operation, they can damage other system components. If they don’t, you are still stuck with an unexpectedly out of service car wash station. A regular check-up from a maintenance service can run through all the parts that show wear as they age while replacing the ones that are scheduled for change-out, and it can do so at a fraction of the cost of a fix to a fully broken set of machines. Save money and keep your downtime down.
There’s a reason why the gremlins come out of machines when the weather changes. It’s because as the air temperature goes up or down significantly and humidity levels shift to a new average, it causes slight changes to the way machine parts contact each other, changing the spots where they are likely to wear. This can activate an old material stress point that wasn’t being strained under the old seasonal average, leading to a breakdown. That’s why it’s a great idea to schedule your maintenance check-ups just before a seasonal change. | automotive |

And the advent of the car meant that filmmakers and actors no longer needed to carry their equipment or wear their costumes on the train or streetcars, a liberating shift in production scale. “Hollywood made the car, and the car made Hollywood,” Holter says.
The Local Dealer Was Crucial
But the core focus of the book is on how L.A. became the epicenter of the automotive market. Holter attributes that to one core notion. “It was these really local entrepreneurs, bankers and car dealers, local risk takers, who provided the critical link between the carmakers and buyers,” he says. “It was the dealers who found ways, through trial and error, to put people behind the wheel, and eventually convinced them that the car was a necessity and not just a luxury.”
These innovations included many still in practice today. Primary among these were the independent car dealership franchise, the used-car market, and dealer-sponsored service centers. But perhaps the most profound was the idea of hard goods financing: making a large purchase like this on credit. Prior to the car, the notion of an accessible and increasingly necessary category of commercial good—one within reach of the common person, but which couldn’t readily be purchased outright—didn’t exist.
“Neither the factories nor the banks or the finance companies offered retail credit in these early years. So the dealers, because they wanted to sell cars on their own, started to experiment with paying on running credit by accepting down payments and promissory notes,” Holter says.
Even more intriguing is the confluence Holter uncovers between these retail establishments and the early broadcast industry. L.A. dealers were among the first owners of local radio stations such as KFI and KNX. “These stations were launched primarily as a way of selling cars,” Holter says. The motivation was financial, but also temperamental. “These dealers became wealthy so quickly that they were seeking the next groundbreaking technology, looking for the next investment,” Holter says. “That’s the type of entrepreneurs they were.”
Holter believes that the book has profound contemporary relevance, as consumers and automakers debate the validity of the franchise dealer system. “I think that some of the same factors that caused direct sales approaches to fail more than a century ago may still prevent high volume manufacturers from really being able to go totally direct,” he says.
According to Holter, these include human-to-human contact in sales and negotiations, as well as protocols for delivery and repairs. “Things like that,” he says, “I don’t think are handled well by the internet.” (We might add the unfairly privileged pricing and allocations, and other deceptive practices, that OEMs have granted to stores they own in the distant and recent past, one of the reasons for the establishment of the dealer system in the first place.)
Holter also thinks the story of the car’s emergence, and subsequent global domination, speaks to our shifting contemporary environment, and the potential for unanticipated consequences of new inventions—like functional AI. “It’s a reminder of how we have changed society and how hard it would be for people to give up those changes,” Holter says. “But it’s also a reminder that if you create the right technology at the right price, the impact can be enormous.” | automotive |

The values of the first-gen Broncos have reached a surreal level, the later full-size ones (as well as the few surviving Ranger-based Bronco IIs) are moving as well. Don’t blame yourself if you can’t picture the second-gen Bronco; Ford only built it for two years, from 1978 to ’79. Like the Chevy Blazer, the Bronco simply became a bobtail version of the full-size pickup. The third gen debuted in 1980 with an eggcrate grille and inset headlights—the flush headlights didn’t appear until the fourth gen in 1987—and a range of engines that topped out in 1984 with a high-output (okay, 210 horsepower) 351 V-8. The third-gen was also notable for the adoption of an independent “twin traction beam” suspension, With a new small Bronco expected for the 2020 model year, Bronco interest is higher than ever.

Classic Car Cult
The Classic Car market is unique. Not only has it been a wise investment to buy a classic car in the last few decades, but owning, rallying and racing one has become quite fashionable. Some people might be tempted to get into the market for these reasons alone. However, we think there are many more reasons for buying a classic car. By buying a classic car we have the chance to obtain a part of history, and preserving it for generations to come. The opportunity to drive or race a car in which people like Stirling Moss, Juan-Manuel Fangio, John Surtees and many others have written history, is beyond all description. Allowing us to own and experience a car like this is one of the many reasons for our passion.

You can go anywhere, even places that you would not easily reach otherwise. You can take your groceries to your crib in one go and you can take all your things with you when you go for a walk or go to the beach for example. Not everyone can bring their car with them on vacation, of course. That is why you decide to rent a car when you go on vacation. And at EasyTerra, they make this very easy for you.
Compare rental car providers
EasyTerra is a comparison site for rental cars. Suppose you want to rent a car in Pisa, which translates to auto huren in Pisa in Dutch. You will then look at that location at EasyTerra. You select what you need from your car, such as how big it has to be and how many seats and doors you want. You can also specify the date of collection and return. EasyTerra shows all providers who have something available. Not only large parties such as Europcar and Hertz but also small and local car rental companies. This way you can see where the rental car is the cheapest
Rental car inside and outside Europe
You could rent a car in Florence too, which means auto huren in Florence in Dutch. This works exactly the same. However, you could also rent a car in different places in Europe. This can be useful if you are going on vacation to the Netherlands for example. You could even compare rental cars outside of Europe with the help of EasyTerra. You can book immediately as well. You then book the rental car of the provider via EasyTerra. You can pick up the car at the provider’s place and bring it back there too. This usually is the same location, although this is not a requirement.
Collecting and returning at different places
For larger rental companies, the rental car can be returned at another location in the same country. This usually is not a problem, although it is advised to research this possibility before you actually book the rental car. It could also be possible that you are planning on driving through multiple countries in the rental car. In most cases, this will cost more money. It is not even always possible unfortunately. Many rental car providers do not allow you to cross the border with the car.
Drive through several countries
If you are planning on taking the rental car through several countries during the vacation the shore can be useful. You could, for example, fly to a location, pick up the car there, and then return it in the Netherlands. You could also do it the other way around: depart from the Netherlands, return the rental car at the airport abroad, and fly back from there. The options are limited though, so you should certainly research this possibility.
Worry-Free label for the best deal
Are you going for a simple collection and return at the same place and you still find the range quite large? You could then select the EasyTerra Worry-Free label. By doing this you will see rental cars that meet a number of requirements that make the rental car a good deal. These cars for example have unlimited kilometers, good customer experiences, and a favorable fuel policy. A rental car with a Worry-Free label is thus a good deal without any doubt. You can find this all at EasyTerra. | automotive |
