Tackiest Dcor For Your Vehicle


2011
07.18

Go get your glitter ball and the fluffy dice it’s time to kit out your auto in the tackiest dcor conceivable. Nothing is tackier than fluffy dice even though they are a retro item and some now consider them cool.

A glitter ball hanging from your rear mirror comes next in the tackiness league, just behind the fluffy dice. Try not to get too distracted by either of them when you are driving because they have caused many an accident. Add a pine air freshener tree for optimum effect and if you have space a gyrating Elvis (there is always space for a gyrating Elvis).

Pink, Pink, Pink that’s right, if you’ve got the confidence, spray paint your car pink, but if you haven’t, then accessorise it in pink. Even the chaps are doing it now getting in touch with their feminine side. Next on the list of tacky colours is ‘ASBO yellow’, very popular on some UK housing estates.

Car seat covers can make a car look really tacky. We’re thinking Winnie the Pooh, but zebra print works or even worse seat covers with the names of you and your beau embroidered in flower shaped letters.

Steering wheels look tacky full stop. However if you have to have one it’s got to be pink or animal print or if you can find one leather with gold embossed letters spelling out ‘Born To Ride’. Any less flash steering wheel cover won’t only appear tacky it will also look like you are driving your Granddad’s car.

Sharon and Craig or Paco and Marie stickers are good if tacky is what you’re after. Any mixture of names looks tacky and it doesn’t matter which country in the world you live in this is still considered the height of tackiness. But if you would like to be ironic go for the Sharon and Craig mix even though your names are Jack and Emma.

Remember tacky isn’t cool, well okay, it might be, that’s where irony comes into it but in order to be ironic you’ve got to really mean it. So go overboard. Kit your car out in all of the above and then add flames on the car doors. Actually cool and ironic might not be the words we’re looking for here….. slightly mental might be more appropriate!

How Easy Is It To Pass Your Driving Test in The United States?


2011

It’s a recognised curiosity that passing your driving test in the USA is pretty easy and if you can breathe and you have a heartbeat, there’s every chance they’ll hand you your driving license on a golden platter.

Driving tests vary from state to state in the USA, but most include a relatively easy multiple choice examination of around fifty questions followed by a short driving test. Often the practical driving test will be in a car park or will consist of a quick 2 mile jaunt up and down an easy road.

If you ask an American how they pasted their driving test, most will admit, although somewhat shyly, that they slept through some driver education videos, were accompanied by a driving instructor for about 3 hours of practical road time and then took a test on their 16th birthday which was extremely easy to pass. Nobody really knows just why the US driving test is so easy but there are a few hypotheses.

The most well liked theory on why the driving test in the US is so simple is that people are only sixteen when they take their test so it has to be simple enough for a kid to get through. But that isn’t a particularly creative speculation.

Most Americans take their test in a car with an automatic gearbox which requires less ability so it makes the test far easier to pass. In the UK people who can’t pass a test in a manual vehicle will often easily pass their test in an automatic car.

Roads are wider in the US there are fewer windy roads and if people commute it’s usually an easy ride. This means that even in states where the driving test is a bit more taxing it is still easy to pass.

However, in the past few years driving tests have become a little more troublesome to pass and in some states you are required to take a safety education course and have a provisional license for 6 months before you are allowed to take the test and obtain a full license. This means driving with supervision for that half a year.

Get Your Car Prepared For Winter


2011
07.17

Whether or not you live in a mild climate, there are some comfort and safety aspects of your auto-mobile that you’ll want to take care of as winter creeps up upon us.

If you live in an area that experiences snow, ice, fog and masses of rain in the winter, make completely sure that your car has the right tires. We cannot stress enough the requirement for chains in snow and perfect treads in rain, snow or ice. Auto-mobile tires are the most important safety mechanism for your winter driving but also check other bits of your auto and get anything that requires attention fixed at the end of the summer, so you will be prepared when the winter comes.

In the winter you need heat even if your car is old ensure that it warms up quickly having some heat in the winter is better than having none. It will make a difference to your steamy windows too, so your heat working is a safety issue too.

Make sure that your windscreen wipers work properly. If you live in England then get on this, everyone knows it rains everyday and that a little squeak will soon get into your bones and annoy you like crazy. Not to mention that when you’re on the motorway and it is pouring with rain that is likely to be when that squeaky wiper finally gives up the ghost and falls apart. If the rain is heavy you will end up stranded.

Do the right thing for your car and buy some antifreeze. Do not scrimp on it put the right amount in your radiator not just a drop to top up your radiator.

Nights and even days are darker in winter so all the more reason to make sure your lights and indicators work. Include your fog lights in your monthly light checks and carry a full set of spare bulbs and fuses.

Put some blankets in the boot of your automobile it pays to have emergency supplies when you are making a major journey. Not only can a blanket keep you warm if you get marooned or your heating breaks down you can also use a blanket to get you out of trouble. In snow a blanket in front of your tyres can offer enough grip for you to get going again and save you hours waiting for a breakdown truck.

General engine maintenance is important year round, but especially important for the winter. Make sure your car is in good working order and that you have breakdown cover especially if your car is unreliable, no one wants to stand in the December rain or snow with their thumb out.

Change your oil on a regular basis and ensure that you have plenty of water in your radiator. Being prepared for winter is straightforward, kit out your auto during the late summer to be ready for winter.

Customer Rights When Buying Off Of Dealers


2010
06.15

When buying a vehicle from a dealer you enter into a contract governed mainly by the Sale of Goods Act, 1979. The Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations, 2002 and Sale & Supply of Goods Act, 1994 also give certain rights to the buyer.

Those Acts state that each car sold by a dealer must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.

To be considered of satisfactory quality the car must be as good as a reasonable person expects, bearing in mind the price paid and how the dealer describes the car. This level of quality includes the safety, durability and appearance of the vehicle. What you can expect depends on the mileage of the car, how much you paid for it and its age.

If a new car has even the tiniest defect it is not considered to be of satisfactory quality.

To be fit for purpose the vehicle should be capable of doing what you would expect for a car of its price, size and type. It should also do what the dealer promised.

A car that is as described is a one that corresponds in every detail to the advert you saw for it. For a second-hand car, the mileage has to be genuine; anything you are told about its history has to be 100% true. A new car must be unused and flawless.

If the car you have brought does not live up to the above standards, you have the right to complain to the dealer. They should compensate you or give you a refund. It is best to make you complaint in writing, clearly stating what the issues are. Most dealers are very good at resolving issues once they are made aware of them. In the event that you do not manage to solve the problem amicably, you can contact your local Trading Standards Office.
