When buying a new car you want to make sure it holds it value well so that when you do come to sell it you get the most that you can for it. All cars drop in value once they leave the forecourt but in these difficult economic times it might be prudent to try and buy a car which holds its value the longest.

Of the top 10 best-selling cars of 2009 it’s the Audi A3 which holds its value best with only a 7 percent drop in value over the course of a year. The car with the greatest drop in price out of the top 10 was the Vauxhall Vectra which lost a staggering 54 percent of its value. However, it might be worth noting that these figures are based on what the car is being advertised for one year after purchase and prices might become more even after 2-3 years of ownership.

The most popular car in Britain in 2009 was the Ford Fiesta which lost 23 percent of its value after one year. This compares to other popular cars such as the Volkswagen Golf which lost 26 percent of its value, the Peugeot 207 which lost 18 percent and the Vauxhall Corsa which lost 25 percent. So if you’re looking to buy a new car which holds its value well you’re best to look at the likes of the Audi A3, the Honda Jazz and the Peugeot 207 but if you want to buy a nearly new car for a lot less than what it costs new, you should perhaps consider the Vauxhall Vectra or a Ford Focus. The latter was an average of 39 percent cheaper after one year. The most popular car in Britain in 2009 was the Ford Fiesta which lost 23 percent of its value after one year.

Slough and other areas in the south should have dealerships offering all of the cars mentioned above.

You don’t have to be a horrible driver to get into an accident. In the state of North Carolina, where I have lived for the past few years now, I have never seen more people get into accidents than when the weather is poor. For instance, any time it starts to rain, you can be sure to hear something on the news about people getting into a motor vehicle accident. It’s almost as if the meteorologists have a magic wand that they wave prior to announcing the weather that causes people to just start getting into accidents. When I worked as a police officer, I would sometimes dread going to work on days when the skies looked ominous because ominous skies meant that there was a good chance we were going to get some sort of precipitation. As soon as the weather people came on and announced that it would rain later, I would hear the radio in my patrol car start buzzing with dispatches to various locations where people had just gotten into an accident. It was magical, I swear.

Nine times out of ten, accidents are preventable. That’s the definition of an accident if you think about it: “I didn’t mean to do it, but it happened.” I would get to the scene of the accident, and the case was always the same: Person ‘A’ ran into Person ‘B’ with their vehicle, rear ending them because Person ‘A’ wasn’t paying attention. A lot of the time, we would get people who played dumb or who apparently didn’t pay attention during driver’s education when the “2 second rule” was being discussed. What do I mean? The two-second rule is a rule used in driver’s education to educate up and coming drivers about the importance of keeping a safe distance between their vehicle and the vehicle in front of them. One way of doing this is by counting to the number to using some stationary object on the side of the road to gauge your distance. For example, let’s say there is a person driving in front of you. You would glance out the window at a fire hydrant on the side of the road. When the person in front of you passed the fire hydrant, you would begin to count “One Mississippi….” until you reached the number two. If you passed the same fire hydrant less than two seconds after the person in front of you, then you are following them too closely.

Cars are an essential part of movies in Hollywood, and it is not surprising to see car-related movies coming out quite often. While the plots and action scenes have changed due to the technological advances both in cars and the movie industry, there is no denying that a car movie will be a big hit if done right. History has proven this with several blockbusters such as The Duel, Spielberg’s first hit, American Graffiti, Bullitt, or even Death Race. There are also other movies that successfully ride over the success of car movies, but without actually becoming classics. This article takes a closer look at the top 5 cars found in movies.

5) The Ford Mustang GT 390 in Bullitt
Bullitt’s Ford Mustang GT 390 may need a strong shout to be considered. It is true that it is completely lacking as far as gadgets go and cannot boast impressive abilities such as the Batmobile’s auto-destruction feature or even James Bond’s invisible car, but this GT 390 was among the best of its kind. That. And the seven-minute or so chase scene involving this Mustang and the Dodge Charger is still one of the most impressive car scenes ever filmed.

4) The Pontiac Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit
While there is no denying that the car makes the man, there arise some cases where the man makes the car. In this case, the man and his mustache make the car. Indeed, Burt Reynold’s Pontiac Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit is one of the most memorable cars in Hollywood history. Just like the GT 390 in Bullit, this Pontiac is as regular as it gets, but was involved in one of the most insane missions seen in a movie. And it did have a very unique feature: a runaway bride through half the movie.

3) The De Lorean from the Back to the Future trilogy
The De Lorean is every little boy’s dream come true and not simply for its time-travelling abilities. This extremely stylish car boasts an amazingly slick outline, complete with a flux capacitor and a plutonium-powered nuclear reactor (since plutonium is a readily available item at the closest Walmart), and will travel at dizzying speeds that very likely send the driver into the future. Of course, with a title as mysterious as Back to the Future, it is not surprising that the car’s been designed to be as mysterious and interesting as possible.

2) The Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinder
Bulletproof glass? Check. People are just going to be shooting at James Bond anyway. Machine guns? Check. Whoever fires at James Bond will get fired at. Radar? Check. Satellite navigations are too common for James Bond. The Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinder pretty much redefined the Bond car. It’s gorgeous and boasted the most impressive list of Bond gadgets at that time. And it’s being driven by Sean Connery, so it deserves the nod over competitors.

1) The Batmobile from The Dark Knight
It may look ugly at first, but the design of The Dark Knight’s Batmobile is one that grows onto viewers the more it is seen on-screen. Not only that, but this car just oozes style. Its plethora of incredible gadgets, which includes the whole car being even grenade-proof, is nothing less than one would expect from Batman. Did I also mention that the car can transform into a motorbike if it’s too damaged?

The impact of modern asphalt on motorcycle road safety
Motorcycling can be fast, furious fun, even for the over 50s but it is also dangerous; over 50 times more dangerous than driving a car!
Statistics collected in the UK show that while the average age of motorcyclists has increased, their safety track record has improved only marginally in recent years. Rather than the pursuit of young tearaways, motorcycling is conducted by mature individuals who are also quite likely to own a car. While statistically they like to live dangerously once in a while, the research suggests they would prefer to get from A to B in one piece and remarkably few claim to be reckless speed addicts.
In fact, human error remains the main cause of death and injury but poor road design and surface condition can be contributory factors. Motorcycling associations have shown widespread concern about these issues and highways authorities across Europe have come under attack from the Federation of European Motorcycling Associations (FEMA). FEMA has even accused engineers and maintenance staff of being unaware of the hazards presented to riders. Continue reading ‘The Impact Of Modern Asphalt On Motorcycle Road Safety’ »
