What happens if I am hit by an uninsured motorist?

Posted on April 3, 2011

You’re driving along and all of a sudden BAM! A car turning left into your lane doesn’t see you and you find yourself involved in a car accident. But you don’t have anything to worry about, right? After all it was obviously the other driver’s fault so their insurance will pay for your car and any injuries you may have sustained.  You get out of your vehicle and the other driver approaches you, begging you not to call the police. They have the money to pay for the damages, they promise. It turns out that they don’t have any car insurance.

What does this mean for you? Most people will assume that it means they are up the creek without a paddle, and that there is nothing that they can do but suck it up and pay for their car to be fixed. And pray that they don’t have whip-lash or any other injuries. And if you end up in the hospital and your car is a total write-off? You may think that there’s still nothing that you can do, but there is.

Why do some countries drive on the right and others on the left?

Posted on March 25, 2011

Living (and loving) Life

The majority of the countries in the world drive on the right side of the road – around 66.1% of all people live in right hand traffic countries. Right hand traffic simply means that when you’re driving a car, you drive next to the right side of the road instead of the left. Usually, drivers in right side countries sit on the left side of the car in order to have the best possible line of sight down the road.

Some countries drive on the left side of the road though – around 33.9% of people live in such countries. Australia, the Bahamas, South Africa, India, the United Kingdom, Japan, Jamaica, Nepal, Kenya and New Zealand are just a few of the countries that drive on the left side of the road.

How to fix a “slow leak” in a car tire

Posted on February 20, 2011

Living (and loving) Life

It’s easy to tell when one of your tires has a slow air leak: You notice that one of your tires is a little low, so you stop by an air pump and fill it up, only to have it go down again overnight.

The cause of a slow leak is almost always a foreign object like a nail or screw lodged in the tire. Most slow leaks can easily be fixed by the owner as long as he/she has an air compressor or portable air tank with which to re-inflate the tire after the repair has been made. Here’s how:

1 – Purchase a tire repair kit which contains a rasp, a tire plug insertion tool, a number of tire plugs and a tube of cement. These kits are readily available at auto parts stores, Wal-Mart, Kmart or most any retailer that sells automotive related hardware.

2 – Put on a pair of safety goggles.

How to buy a used car without getting taken for a ride

Posted on February 18, 2011

In this economy many people are choosing to buy a used car instead of a new one, and for good reason. After all, a quality used car costs a lot less than a new one of the same make, even if it has very low mileage on it. The problem is that most people are unsure about whether a particular used car is a good deal or not because there are so many variables involved. Here are a few tips that can help you feel more confident about your next used car purchase:

1 – If you’re thinking about buying from a dealer, ask if the car comes with a warranty or guarantee. If not, walk away. Any used car dealership should be willing to stand behind the vehicles they sell, even if it’s only for 90 days.
