How Bad Weather Affects Your Driving

Alex Bhaswara — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 03:31:22 +0000

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.

Another way to interpret the “two-second rule” is by car length. Ideally, you should be leave approximately one and a half to two car lengths between you and the person in front of you. If you live somewhere like New York City of Washington D.C. where the traffic is heavier, you should always make sure that you leave at least enough room that you can see the person’s rear bumper in its entirety. There are plenty of reasons for not tailgating other people. For one, when the weather is bad, not leaving enough room increases the likelihood that if that person in front of you reacts suddenly, you won’t have enough time to react. Additionally, if you are stopped and are right on top of another person, it doesn’t leave you enough room with an optional way out in case the person behind you doesn’t stop or in case the person in front of you breaks down, etc.

Prepare for Winter Driving 18 Tips

Alex Bhaswara — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 05:04:49 +0000

If you live in one of those Winter Wonderland states-the ones with the immaculate snowy mornings-you know well the dangerousness of icy roads, snow and slush, and the blinding reflections off the sheets of snow in the landscape. Sure, it makes for nice pictures, but winter is a nightmare for driving. Given that it also is the time when people drive around the most-because of the holidays-it is worth making sure your car and your insurance are up to the task.

Preparing Your Vehicle:

10 Tips These tips will make sure your car survives the driving conditions and the cold of snowy winters.

1. Get Snow Tires Snow tires are a costly investment (around $500 for a set), but in the northern and mountain states, they are necessary. This video will convince you.

2. Clean and flush your heating/cooling system. And put in some antifreeze.

3. Replace windshield wipers with ones designed for winter.

4. Check your breaks. You’ll need them.

5. Fill the spare tire with air.

6. Make sure your battery will stand up to the cold. Get a new one is necessary. ***Make sure you have jumper cables.***

7. Keep sunglasses and a shovel in the vehicle in case you are buried somewhere. A thermal blanket is an essential emergency item as well.

8. Keep your vehicle filled with gasoline/petrol and windshield fluid.

9. Check the radiator.

10. Fill the car with premium synthetic oil.

Adjust Your Driving: 5 Tips

1. You are going to need to drive more slowly in wintry conditions.

2. Put a couple extra car-lengths between you and the vehicle ahead of you.

3. Study your vehicle manual to see how to use ABS, Traction Control, and 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) if you have these features.

4. Learn how to handle a car that is slipping. There are specific techniques for driving in the snow. For instance, when sliding out, turn your tires in the direction that the vehicle is heading. This will allow you to regain traction.

5. Try to stop early before stop signs, yield signs, and red lights. You don’t want to spill out into an intersection. Readying Your Insurance: Essential Coverage It’s always important to make sure that your car insurance is up to date. There are some special coverages that you might want to consider.

1. Uninsured Motorist coverage This covers you in the event of a hit-and-run. Hit-and-runs are a lot more common in the winter because cars slip and bump all the time. People panic-they just can’t afford to pay for your damage and watch their premiums go up.

2. Comprehensive Collision coverage Big collisions are a problem in winter because of ice and snow. However, it is sometimes difficult to determine who is at fault. With Comprehensive Collision coverage, you need not worry about the at-fault driver.

3. Comprehensive Other Than Collision coverage The chances of hitting a tree, a mailbox, or even a building are very high in winter. Unless you have Comprehensive Other Than Collision coverage on your auto insurance policy, you will have to pay out of pocket. There are even some winter driving courses that you could take. Defensive driving courses and winter driving courses make for cheap car insurance

The Impact Of Modern Asphalt On Motorcycle Road Safety

Alex Bhaswara — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:36:45 +0000

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.
In the European Agenda for Motorcycle Safety, FEMA highlights several problem areas which it feels require more attention. These include lack of friction of some asphalt types when wet, poor drainage which increases the risk of aquaplaning and bad kerb design. Bituminous asphalt sealers, potholes and the rutting caused by heavy lorries are also singled out for criticism. The biggest problems are, as might be expected, with older highways.
Specialists within the CEMEX UK technical team are well aware of these issues and point out that good design and construction practice ensures highways are safer for all users, not just motorcyclists.
Roads are created by building up layers of different types of coated stone. Basic construction comprises sub base, base, binder course and the surface or wearing course. The base courses have larger diameter aggregate to help withstanding the heavy loads and to ensure the underlying ground is not subjected to stresses from the traffic. Modern surface course formulations, such as stone mastic asphalt (SMA), are able to resist the rutting often seen – and felt – on the inside carriageway of major roads. The final surface layer can be comparatively thin and formed using sizes and types of aggregate that provide very good grip, even in wet weather, which is imperative for the motorcyclist.
When correctly applied, these thin surfacings – including Viatex and Viapave from CEMEX’s “Via” range – are also resistant to wear, which means fewer cracks or potholes develop and less remedial work is needed between re-surfacing. Historically, it is the remedial “??overbanding”?? with bitumen used in crack repairs and repairs to joints between running lanes that creates small, smooth or “??slick”?? areas. These areas can catch out the unwary motorcyclist, especially in the wet. Under some conditions these patches are just as hazardous as the unfilled cracks as this may undermine the motorcycle and its rider.
In the past road builders relied on hot rolled asphalt or macadam (sometimes tarmacadam, Bitmac or – incorrectly – just tarmac) as the mainstay for road construction. The more recent additions to the “??blacktop”?? list such as thin surfacing systems such as CEMEX Viapave and Viatex, coupled with a range of proprietary brands, mean it is possible to design each road specifically for the type and amount of traffic it handles, particularly where heavy goods vehicles are concerned.
Take a 2km section of the M9 in Sterling, Scotland for example. This contract was one of the first to be carried out by CEMEX Surfacing to newly introduced specifications aimed at improving the durability of roads. This was achieved in part by sealing the road against water through techniques such as edge compaction; using an edge roller helps to close any voids left through the traditional method of “??cutting back”??.
Detailed planning of all aspects of the project included staggering the joints, painting all joint faces, over-band sealing of the lower base and binder course layers and placing a tack/bond coat between all layers to stop water penetrating the road. Ensuring water runs off the road, not into it, is an important factor in reducing the problems highlighted by FEMA. While potentially uncomfortable for the car driver, these faults tend to be little more than inconvenient for the motorist but can be a significant hazard for the motorcyclist when they result in the appearance of potholes in the surface of the carriageway.
In total, 34,000 tonnes of material was removed on this section of the M9 and the carriageway was reconstructed with 11,000 tonnes of recycled sub base and 23,000 tonnes of bituminous material. While safety is paramount, with this volume of materials and the design of the materials installed (such as CEMEX Viapave and Viatex), improved road pavement durability and longevity also gives financial benefits.
Motorcyclists can justifiably claim their machines impose very little wear and tear on road surfaces; however it is paramount in terms of safety that the motorcycle tyres have as much contact with the road surface course layer particularly in wet weather. With the possible exception of noise pollution, motorbikes are an eco-friendly form of transport. The steady expansion in motorcycle traffic can therefore be seen as a welcome trend. But with an average of over 6000 motorcyclists killed or seriously injured each year on British roads there is an obvious responsibility for all those involved in road building – from the planner to the asphalt supplier – to consider their particular requirements.

When Should You do The Senior Driving Safety Course?

Alex Bhaswara — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 05:04:18 +0000

Due to advancements in science and technology, Americans are living longer and healthier lives than ever before. According to a report compiled by the American Medical Association in collaboration with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration by 2030, the population of people over the age of 65 would have doubled, and 20% of the US population will be composed of people in this age bracket. Age has truly been reduced to a mere number and does not necessarily prevent people from living full, active and independent lives. This however, does not mean that the reflexes, vision, and mobility of a 30 year old will be the same as those of a 75 year old. And while we have been able to control and diminish the manifestations of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes and other illnesses prevalent among the elderly, we have not been able to eradicate them altogether, which means that besides the inevitable frailty and physical lull that age bring, these illnesses further affect one’s mental and physical faculties.

This brings us to a matter of contention; greater life expectancy has led to a greater number of elderly drivers on the roads, but is every single one of them actually physically and mentally healthy enough to be a safe driver? Another legitimate concern is that because many decades have passed since these drivers received their licenses, not only is there a requirement for many of them to re-acquaint themselves with rules they had once learned, but vehicles, driving trends and laws have significantly changed since then. On the flipside, it is not fair for every single person over a certain age limit to have his/her license revoked because each individual ages and adapts differently. So what exactly is the solution? In an attempt to resolve the issue, many states now require drivers past a certain age to renew their licenses in person rather than using online and telephonic options. Some also conduct mandatory vision and road tests specifically for drivers belonging to this age group. But most effective would be actions rising from a sense of individual responsibility, where every single driver objectively understands the limitations posed by his/her age, employs the assistance of a physician to ascertain whether s/he is physically and mentally fit enough to drive, and most importantly, for each driver to make an effort to polish his/her driving skills by enrolling in a driving safety course.

Providing practical, quick and effective ways to brush up your driver’s know-how and familiarize yourself with the newest technologies, innovations and driving trends, a driving safety course that is specifically tailored to meet the needs of elderly drivers targets the kind of accidents most prevalent among this particular age group and provides awareness as to why they occur and what preventive measures can be taken. From maneuvering busy intersections, changing lanes, minimizing the damage caused by blind spots, gauging your own driving skills and those of the drivers around you, to understanding the technology and safety measures in the cars being manufactured today, and becoming aware of the effect of medication and distractions on one’s driving, older drivers learn what is most vital for their driving when they enroll in a driving safety course. Besides the issue of safety, it helps keep your insurance costs low. If you are looking for a reasonable quote on auto insurance, you need to remember that the first thing companies look at is your driving record. And a driving safety course will definitely help with that. Also, most auto insurance companies will offer discounts to clients who have successfully completed a driving safety course.

For many people, their car keys are a symbol of their independence, their self-reliance, and the fact that they are still in control of their lives and circumstances. However, endangering yourself and others is no way to assert control. In your stubbornness, you can end up hurting someone else, yourself, and at the very least your driving record, which will in turn hurt your insurance rates. Instead, take control of the situation. Take a driving safety course which will help you brush up on your driving-skills, do wonders for your auto insurance rates and help you ascertain your medical limitations. Also, make the decision to relinquish your keys gracefully when it is time, rather than having them forcibly taken away from you.

Careful Driving in Singapore

Alex Bhaswara — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 04:15:48 +0000

Singapore is a Southeast Asian city state. The Straits of Johor separates Singapore from Malaysia. It is completely a modern country and has a rich culture of Indian, Chinese and Malay people. Singapore is famous for its prosperous and advanced societies. The city has mesmeric and wonderful beaches.

If you want to explore the diverse beauty of Singapore, you will certainly hire a car. Car driving in Singapore can give you an unfathomable excitement. While you go for a car for rent Singapore, there are certain things, you should keep in mind; it is advised not to hire a vehicle near the airport areas as your car rental company may charge you an extra amount as airport fee which may cost you extra. On top of it, you will have to pay more at the airports, since they charge more in the airport vicinity. So you should be aware of the hidden fees and extra charges which a car rental company demands.

Whenever you get a car hire in Singapore, the rental company can charge you an amount for accidental insurance policy, you better check it before boarding the car. There are some other fees, taxes and charges you may be charged unknowingly. It is better to do a comparative study of car hire in Singapore, so that you may get the best deal.

In Singapore, you better avoid getting private car on rent from a car rental company, as it is illegal. Officially, private cars can not be given on rent by the car rental companies. The Land Transport Authority of Singapore permits only car owners to give their car for rent Singapore. The car owners have to make sure they provide proper insurance for the period the vehicle is on rent. They should also ensure they have additional insurance for the rental period. There have been instances that private rental companies breach the law and rent out private cars that are not insured.

Are You Guilty of These Driving Mistakes

Alex Bhaswara — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 20:33:32 +0000

Just knowing how to drive a car is not enough. Knowing proper driving etiquettes and following them is also essential. Though, we perceive ourselves as great drivers, everybody has been guilty of mistakes intentionally or unintentionally.

Here are some of the mistakes which are most common on Indian roads:

1. Thinking of Pedestrians as Pest: Every driver thinks that pedestrians should be banished from roads. They forget that pedestrians just want to cross the road and they have right of way at the zebra crossing. A slight delay won’t make you late for any appointment. Acknowledge their rights and give them their space & time to cross the road with respect.

2. Driving like a Sloth: Driving slow is recommended since it allows you to be in control of your vehicle and gives you ample time maneuver yourself to safety in case of any accident. But if your car is moving at a slower pace then the traffic flow then it may cause mishaps. Follow the speed limits for a particular road. Driving slow can held up the traffic and makes other drivers attempt undertaking and unsafe maneuvers.

3. Tailgating: Tailgating is one of the most irritating mistakes. Driving bumper to bumper won’t make you reach your destination any soon. Tailgating is plain stupid and dangerous.

4. Double Parking: It’s understandable that you love your car but every car needs just that amount of space and in no way can double parking can be justified. Parking space in cities is anyway a huge fight nowadays and occupying extra space is just very rude.

5. Driving with High Beams on: High beam is one persistent habit of ill mannered drivers. There is a reason why it is banned and attracts traffic fine. High beam can make approaching traffic blind and can cause accidents. High beams should be used rarely only on dark and unlit roads. City roads are mostly well lit, so high beams are not necessary. Be chivalrous and adopt safe driving for others as well as yourself.

6. Honking at Traffic Signals: As much as errant drivers would like to believe but honking incessantly at traffic signals won’t make traffic move. This is not F1 racing where vehicles have to bolt off immediately from the starting grids. Take it easy and relax. Don’t create panic situations for other drivers.

7. Not using Indicators: Many drivers are guilty of not using turn indicators. Indicators serve a very important purpose by indicating to traffic which way you intend to turn. This is so basic yet many people simple refuse to use it at their own peril.

8. Drinking & Driving: This is by far the most dangerous and stupidest of mistakes. Driving under influence of alcohol is one of the major causes of accidents all over the world. If you have to drink then avoid driving and take taxi instead. No need to take chance with your and others lives.
