Reverse Parking Camera

The reverse camera captures the overall backdrop and hence the real time footage is then displayed on the LCD screen. This stunt in turn ensures that reversing and parking is done with a lot of ease. The driver is also saved from the process of turning around to see the back view. Thanks to the reverse parking camera! Once the driver selects the reverse gear, the reverse camera system is involuntarily activated. The driver can now see what lies behind and this in turn can prevent a lot of accidents. This reverse parking camera system eliminates the risk of colliding with poles, walls and most importantly kids and pets. Saves precious lives and your pocket too. No more CRAASHHHHH!

Fuel Saving Ideas

Tire Pressures

Get used to checking your tire pressures regularly, at least once a week. Under-inflated tires cause excessive rolling resistance which results in burning more fuel. Conversely, the right tire pressures will reduce rolling resistance and therefore use less fuel.

How heavy is your load?

It makes sense that if your vehicle is loaded down with stuff your car is going to have to work harder in order to run, which means that it will take more gas to operate. Obviously there will be times when this cannot be avoided. But there may be an accumulation of stuff in your car that doesn’t really need to be there all the time, such as sporting equipment or tire chains. Lighten … Read the rest

Stay Aware While Driving Far

Avoid Aggressive Drivers

It’s Not Only Anger

It is a common belief that most aggressive drivers are neurotics with no outlet for their inner rage and of course angry people make a large portion of aggressive drivers. Impatient people in a hurry to get to their destination though can be just as aggressive. Unsafe driving may also be caused by stressed and irritated individuals. Aggression from one driver goads other drivers into aggression and we have a chain reaction to contend with. Your life is much too precious to lose over momentary anger, stress or boredom.

Congestion Breeds Aggression

Every passing year we get more and more new cars on the road. This leads to congestion on the roads and waiting on the … Read the rest
