Toronto Star January 14, 2005 present ways to approach the automotive buying process. There are many different surveys, crash reports, and rating systems comparing different companies and their vehicles.

Some prove their products are safer then the competition where the competition has been proven time and time again to make that survey seem inaccurate.

When you are shopping for a car, you want to be able to shop for the car that you would want. You want to make sure that it is the right color, that it fits your needs such as if it just for going to and from work or if it going to be for long-term use, the car's mileage (if applicable) and so on. But, every once in a while, you run into that one pushy salesperson that will do anything to make you buy a car at their dealership that very day, even if it means trying to force you into buying th newest and best on the market with a loan attached to it and all of that extra interest. I have had two occassions where this has happened to me. The first when I bought my first newer vehicle and the second when I was with my husband when we were shopping
Have you ever thought of what the world would be like without the automobile? This paper will talk about the things the automobile has helped create. Inventors first started experimenting with steam powered engines in the late 18th century. Cars began being produced and sold to the public in the 1890’s (Automotive History). The automobile is considered to be one of the greatest inventions of all time. As a result of the automobile, cities changed, jobs were formed, and the environment was impacted.
As the assignee of a company car, you are required to receive annual defensive driving training by our insurance carrier. In the interest of everyone’s time, I have put together a fast paced presentation that covers the essential elements of defensive driving that is only 60-90 minutes in duration.
Imagine sitting in a car with your good old pops. All of a sudden you look over and see he has blacked out, and is heading straight into another car. Now your pops is seriously injured ,and the people that were hit are in serious conditions. He is now depressed about what he has done and his health is plummeting. The entire family is stressed ,and now everyone’s lives are suffering. Do you wish you could’ve prevented this? I hope you said yes. If you said no, contact the nearest mental hospital near you! If there was yearly driving test and physical test this whole situation would have never happened. Sadly these situations have happened thousand maybe even million of times. We need to do something to prevent these things that happen. We
There are many factors that could lead to a car crash and you need to be prepared in case you are in one or see one. The Utah DMV handbook provides 5 steps that need to be executed if and when a crash occurs. The responsibility of a driver is to always try to avoid a crash, but if there is a crash there are steps to take to ensure the possible safety of the drivers and others affected by a crash. The following five steps is what the Utah DMV says to do and all information is by the works of the DMV unless cited otherwise.
That is a great idea.However, we are talking about the aging community it would pertain to people that are 75 or older. I had a family member of a patient who could not remember her left from her right could barely remember her husband’s name and talking to her she seemed very senile, and she was the driver. I think that the sign would be more for their protection than anything. When 16-year-old starts driving we use decals to inform others that they are new to the road. Why not when there is an elderly person driving they are already doing 20 mph to 30 mph already and when passing the driver you look over what do most drivers yell.
According to statistics, motor vehicle accidents are the number one leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths, making up close to 45% and more than quadrupling all other causes. Although these statistics can be overwhelming, knowing that driving a motor vehicle on a daily basis comes with a lot of risk, an individuals chance of injury can be lowered by following basic safety rules. The American Trauma Society believes that the injury rate could be reduced by 50% if people simply applied existing information about prevention. Wearing a seat belt while riding in a motor vehicle is by far the easiest way to prevent injury and death, and should be done anyway because it is a federal law to do so. In addition to seat belts, motor vehicles are equipped with air bags, an automatic form of protection designed to reduce the risk of injury.
These days, cars are necessary for everyday living. They take us where we need to go. They are the method of transportation for everyday traveling. Road rage is an increasing problem in America. Incidents of violent driving have been rising for many years now. Many people identify themselves by the car they drive, because of this; road rage is only increased. Potential problems should try to be avoided.
When Americans go to buy a new or used car, they look for great fuel economy, strong engine performance, safety features, and whatever else interests them. One thing is for certain, every consumer searches for the best they can afford. Over the decades, automobiles in general have become more efficient in every aspect because of technological advances in society. However, there are still some car brands that stand out over others. It is well known that a prestigious Mercedes-Benz is more reliable than a Jeep; the same can be said about foreign and domestic cars.
In my area cars are a necessary evil. They are a status symbol to some people as a way of demonstrating wealth by driving an expensive vehicle. Cars are necessary to travel to work, the grocery store and to see family. Without a vehicle it is necessary to live closer to a metropolitan area that has public transportation.
To conclude, the new safety innovations are still in use and are saving drivers lives day after day. Before these innovations were in use many drivers died each month. Now we have less drivers dieing because of these innovations. Although, these safety items are not mentioned frequently, they are aways in use on the race track. If it weren’t for the years of advancement in the safety of auto racing we might not have any drivers left to race.
One of the very first things a buyer should consider when looking for a car is what kind of car he/she wants. Many different factors can affect the car buying process. For one, the buyer must consider how big of a vehicle he/she wants and safety features like airbags, seatbelts, and working brakes. Itemizing a list of accessories can also help narrow down what kind of car to buy. While some people might prefer a Sedan with a large back seat and seat warmers, others may prefer an extreme luxury car with full stereo systems and miniature televisions. Every person has different tastes in accessories; luckily, there is a vehicle that can fit almost every personality. Most new models have the latest technology installed, although some of the “newer” used cars have the option of adding in those accessories. Once the...
While driving a car is fun and all, but are you driving it the right way? There are many ways to drive a car; you can drive the car yourself, call an uber or a friend, or pay a random person on the side of the road to drive you even though he/she may steal your car. However, not many people drive a car properly, since everyone drives they way they want to. The proper way to drive is safer than driving your own way.
