You might wonder when you come to know that the vehicle that you are buying or which you are driving may put you at a greater risk of dying in an accident, according to a study published by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, a nonprofit supported by the insurance industry.

People choose small vehicles because they are generally more environmentally friendly, a great value, they provide for greater driving and parking options in congested urban areas, and many consumers tell us they are simply more fun to drive

Why small cars won�t keep you safe?
While our environment is pushing us to make and sell smaller, lighter cars that meet the high fuel economy standards, safety advocates worry that meeting those requirements would result in cars that are less safe in a crash.
The laws of Physics
Size is important because mass, coupled with acceleration, determines the force of a crash. Injuries depend on the forces that act on the occupants in the car, not on how much external damage the car sustains. The force of a crash turns on two key attributes: the weight of the crashing vehicle, which determines how much speed must be absorbed during the impact, and the size of the vehicle, which often determines how close the front of the vehicle is to the driver–an essential indicator of the extent of injuries to the legs and torso.

When you are going to drive your car, always be drunk or under the influence of a drug.�Anything which keeps you in�half sleeping�condition�is probably the most suggested. Drive fast and feel that breeze in your hair.�Stick your head with the�window while managing the car with one hand so that you can feel the speed.

Always make sure that you have phone in your hands and text while driving. Don’t bother looking at the road either. The cars around you will know to move out of the way when they need to. If you happen to change lanes, don’t�show your signals. You certainly do not have time for that.

If you have food in the car, eat while driving to save time. Hold a burger in one hand and a drink in the other while driving your car with your legs. If you do this and text your friends side by side then it�s a great drive, of course a fun drive.

Try watching movie while driving. You won’t believe how fast time flies when you are�not borthered�about looking�the road ahead and giving your best attention to the movie.

Feel free to call people while driving and don’t use any of that new Blue Tooth technology. Try to race with other cars on the roads with a gentle conversation with the other drivers. The less hands you have on your steering wheel, the closer you are at driving dangerously. Be adventurous, by driving with different parts of your body.

If you’re a girl then certainly do your all hair styling and makeup in the car while driving. Put on lipstick, brush your hair and drive fast with your legs or knees. Looking at the makeup mirror in your hand is most suggested than the rearview mirror of your car.

get all stuffs ready before driving

Probably, if you are a born adventurer then you can try what Mr. Bean does when he gets late.

Suggestions:

—If you follow any of these tips, you are really a big idiot.

—These are things you should not do.

—Be under the influence of driving

But as time passed, i was riding on the main�road which comes in the midst of the pine forests, i could not uphold myself. It was really scary to be alone on such roads. That was really a horrifying experience for me. So many things were running in my mind at that moment, that i would like to share and�suggest few things which you should be careful at night while driving.

If you are a women, unfortunately you have to be more careful when you drive alone at night.

Driving at night is dangerous for a number of reasons. First, your visibility reduces at night which may prove fatal for you as you might not distinguish the thing coming infront of you is a human or predator..� if you�are driving in a forest or so. You have to be more attentive looking all surroundings while driving, which most of us do not do.

Second, you feel more tired and less attentive at night than day in comparison. Darkness reduces the depth perception, which can cause impaired judgement and late reflex actions.

Third, we know that lights on the streets glare our sight, but we keep blinding the approaching vehicles infront of us.

I would suggest few thing which you can take a note of —Why driving alone at night can be dangerous?

—Do not get down from your car until you reach your destination. Make sure that you remain in your car as often as you can. Do not stop your car at places which seems deserted or where only one or two people roaming around.

—Keeping in mind that you are driving in a car, things can occasionally go wrong.

—Carry a fully charged cell phone and a list of hand-written emergency numbers should your cell phone die and you have to use a pay phone or land line.

—Having said that, make sure you always carry some loose change (at least a couple of dollars in change) and some small bills.

Reduce your Speed
This always goes in hand without saying.

—Always drive withing the range where the length of the road is illuminated by your head lights.

Don’t blind other drivers
Always dip your headlights before an approaching car comes within range. If the other driver fails to realize you are approaching, flick the beam back to high for an instant before dipping it again.

These are the things you must keep in mind before driving alone at night.

Many drivers get hypnotized on the road while concentrating on the center of the road ahead. Sometimes it becomes so obvious for them to avoid looking at the sides of the road.
I agree that you should watch the road, but nothing would cause you from the front i suppose. So you must watch out the sides which bring trouble.

Look on the rear view mirror meanwhile

To properly use your peripheral vision so that you do not hit the things which come suddently on your path, is to first ensure your eyes and gaze; are relaxed. You relax your eyes by not fixing your sight at one fixed point or path on the road.

Secondly, you must scan the left and the right side of the road with quick eye movements. Meanwhile, you should also glance in your rear view mirror.
Follow these two and you will be able to relax your eyes and see better and watch out for sudden trouble hitting on you.

School-of-Eporo-robot-car

The latest offering by Nissan is its school of fish EPORO Robot Concept Car which mimics the behaviour of fish in the water. This concept is designed to travel in group of vehicles, mimicking the behavioural pattern of a school of fish in avoiding collision with each other.

Nissan-eporo-robot-car

Nissan will demonstrate this breakthrough technology with a group of six EPOROs when they make their world debut at the CEATEC JAPAN 2009, October 6 – 10 at the Makuhari Messe.

In developing EPORO, three rules of fish behavior were applied to its driving control.

Fish behaviour Rules:

Collision Avoidance — look after avoiding collision with other fishes.

Traveling Side-by-Side —travel close to nearest fishes with a minimum distance to avoid contact or collision.

Get closer —move closer with the other fishes to fill in the gaps in between.

Nissan initially revealed its �anti-collision� technology in 2008, with the BR23C robot based on the behavioral characteristics of a bumblebee.

Though the bumblebees, like fish, demonstrate anti-collision abilities such as detecting and avoiding obstacles and collision, bees tend to move alone while fish travel in schools. Nissan studied the behavior of groups of fish, as it better mirrored a traffic environment.

Narrow form adopted by communicating

Eporo-robot-car-in-cue

This is the world’s first development of a robot car that can travel in a group by sharing the position and information of others within a group via communication technologies.

Accident spot

Stay at the Scene

� At the scene of the accident :� The first and the most obvious point is to stay at the accident spot instead of flying from the scene. There are serious penalties for hit-and-run drivers.

Call the police

Exchange contact information with the other drivers involved.

Talk to witnesses and obtain their contact information. If possible, record what they tel you.

If possible, take photos of the accident scene and the damage to your vehicle.

Be careful while talking to the parties involved in the accident. Apologies and admissions to fault can be used against you when trying to reach a settlement.

Its better to talk with the Police rather than with the involved parties. Talk to them only if the situation necessitates.

Beyond the scene of the accident:� After the police have arrived and you are free to leave the scene, contact your insurance company and let them know what happened.

Rather than engaging� with the insurance companies by yourself , its better to contact a personal injury attornal. He will asssess the details of the accident and your injuries and negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf in order to obtain a more favourable settlement.
