Calculate your carbon emissions here

I was quite supprised, we (family of two people) came out with  220 CO2 emissions. 52% was from our power company, 44% from cars and 4% from waste.

We don’t drive much, but I figured cars would’ve been the worst, obviously not.

Dangerous, for the common driver. They are really dangerous on normal roads in the wet. They are fine in the dry.

I have done my share of driving with “loss of traction”, and have also been caught out with Blizzak MZ-03 tyres on. They are fine in the dry, feeling like a under inflated tyres (probably due to the soft rubber and high individual tread pattern), but put a tiny layer of moisture on the road and these tyres suddenly become very loose. Great fun for any drifters, but very dangerous for a family and/or inexperienced driver.

Many cars in New Zealand get imported with these tyres, some people know they suck and sell them on. Please warn the buyers! Unless you want deaths on your hands. I would never use these as road tyres again!

There is lots of debate on these tyres being responsible for deaths already, but statistics are
often not valid, until someone makes them. What I mean by that;
The reason there in no deaths attributed to this type of tyre is probably only because the type of tyre involved in an accident may not be recorded, only the tread depth.

See some links for more debate on it here, here and here. [edit and here 3rd July 2008]

Read this Link First.

What do you remember the story was about?

Read the above link FIRST!

After reading it, Go Down.

Down bit more.

I think it’s very talanted the way they made me remember the story being about a ”boy racer’s unsafe car falling apart”.  Carefully they slide in “41-year-old man doing 130kmh in a 50kmh zone, testing nearly three times the legal breath-alcohol limit.” and ”And a woman led police on a four kilometre chase, reaching 147kmh in a 50kmh suburban.”.

Wow, The story should be titled ”Crazy old man near tripples speed limit and alochol limit in one sitting !”

Really, Who is more dangerous? Check the Facts.

FYI

Driving with a temporary disability

http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/factsheets/31.html

Disabilities such as broken arms or legs, migraines and so on may not stop you from driving, but you need to decide how safe you and other road users will be.

Plaster casts may be uncomfortable and can make it difficult to control a vehicle. You must get guidance from your doctor concerning how the cast will affect your ability to operate all the vehicle’s controls.

Back to the doc then..

Ok enough life changing, check out some drool..
