Drive Safely

Posted by Jo in tips (November 9, 2007 at 11:05 am)

A car accident is the worst thing that may ever happened to any driver. Especially if he is not the only who were injured but also those who were with him. Accidents may occur due to collisions with other vehicle, striking to a human or animal. Some can be caused by other factor such as lost of power breaks, negligence of other parties like driving that is drunk, not following traffic signs and proper road regulation, not using seat belts. Every year an estimated of more than a million died from a car accident worldwide. I just hope we won’t be adding to that number.

We really never know what will happen to us. Even if we are careful but if others are not, we will really likely meet an accident. Just imagine the damage to life and car plus the expenses you have to incur after a car accident. And the saddest thing about it is that all accidents could have been prevented if all people in the road are just careful. Some things are just simple like being a responsible driver yet there are still those who refuses to be one.

Wear That Safety Gear

Posted by Jo in Uncategorized ( at 10:35 am)

It is always said that a motorcycle is not a safe vehicle. There is no motorcycle part that protects the driver and it only has two wheels that can never help it to stand by itself. Thus the motorcycle driver himself should be the one to put the necessary protection, such as the wearing of motorcycle helmet. Large percentage of vehicular accidents is attributed to motorcycle. Due to this many countries have required all motorcycle riders and even back riders to wear motorcycle helmets at all times during the ride. 

A motorcycle helmet protects our head from a fatal head or brain injury during an impact that might save the driver’s life. Other than that, motorcycle helmet can also protect our eyes from insects or strong lights. It can also protect our ears. Despite the laws and protection it gives, there are still some who refuse to use it. Maybe they are not comfortable, it reduces freedom since it might be heavy and it may be expensive. The important thing in choosing a helmet is that it perfectly fits your head and has the ability to protect you.

Charities Need Your Car

Posted by Jo in Cars ( at 9:53 am)

We used to know of money, jewelry, paintings and other of value products donated. But cars as well are accepted by these charities, old ones even those, which does not run anymore. But of course, the price will vary depending upon the usability of the car. An old car will cost a lot as long as it is still running, while a new car will be bought at a low price if lots of things have to be repair on it.  If you want to donate a car, there are car donation organizations that will do the process for you. They will sell your car and the money will proceed to the charity you wish to donate. It can be donated to any charitable organization you wish.

There’s a lot of benefit if one donates a car to a charity, your tax is decrease, and the organization will do the selling for you and of course you are able to help. There’s been a lot of argument regarding this issue that not all the money paid for the car donated goes to the charity. This may be a sad reality, when one just wishes to help others through donating their vehicle.
