- Drink Driving Offences
By: Rutland Savour | - Drinking and driving is something that is extremely dangerous. It is very common to see in news the people who meet with an accident in unconscious state. Drinking and driving is not just hazardous for people themselves but also for those people who suffer because of them. People who drink lose their consciousness and their reaction time decreases and thus they are not able to take instant decision. Those who drink and drive can enter into a serious accident and may hurt an innocent passerby as ...

- Will Renault's Style Save Them
By: Tony Hill | - It's a grim time for the motor industry. But, then, it's been a long time since auto manufacturers enjoyed the heady, glorious days of the seventies before the first major oil crisis took hold on the market's wallet and kept them hesitant ever since.
One auto maker that has often been teetering on the brink and still hovers near the "filing for bankruptcy" headlines is Renault. This time, though, they have an ace up their sleeve: style.
Renault entered the financial ...

- Best Rated Used Car Reviews
By: motor kwik | - There are hundred reasons that tempt an individual to buy a car. Speed, comfort, safety, control, timeliness are some of the most important reasons, to name a few. At present, with the increasing level of accidents and traffic, people have switched their decision to buying used cars instead of new cars. This is indeed a wise decision. One benefit is that, if you are a new learner, then there won't be much chance to get immensely disheartened by the ravages caused to your brand new car due to the ...

- The Motability Scheme Clearly Explained
By: Lucy Penn | - The Motability scheme was set up to enable disabled people to trade in either the Higher Rate Mobility Component of their Disability Living Allowance or their War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement to fund the purchase of a brand new car, scooter or a powered wheelchair.
This scheme allows disabled people the chance to obtain a new car in an easy and convenient way. Furthermore, the scheme also covers insurance, servicing, breakdown cover and any adaptations - meaning that motoring ...

- Who Has Benefited From The Scrappage Scheme?
By: Lucy Penn | - It has been well documented that the Government-funded Scrappage Scheme has done wonders for the new car market, local car dealerships and the manufacturers. The low vehicle prices have enticed car buyers into purchasing a brand new car in return for their old banger.
The Government injected a substantial amount of money into the automotive industry on the premise that the manufacturers must match it. The scheme turned out to be a great move and got the once stagnant industry mov ...

- Japanese Cars And Their Reputation
By: Lucy Penn | - Whenever I ask people their views on cars I always seem to hear the saying, 'You can't go wrong with a Japanese-built car', the same way I always hear 'you can't beat German reliability'.
So, where do these reputations come from and what Japanese cars really impress?
Japanese car manufacturers include, Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi - already you can sort of see a trend occurring. None of these manufacturers really bring up connotations of poor enginee ...

- Successful Comeback Cars - The Ones That Survived
By: Lucy Penn | - A few years ago several old-time classic cars made a comeback; the Mini took to the roads once again, as did the funky Beetle and the retro Fiat 500.
The Mini was considered an icon of the 60s - and its funky retro styling has helped it to enjoy similar success the second time around. The Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th Century - in particular this was because of its innovative 'space-saving' front wheel, which created far more room inside the vehicle f ...

- The Used Car Market - The Good And The Bad
By: Tony Hill | - At this current moment in time the automotive market is in a bit of a strange place. The Scrappage Scheme seems to have turned things on their head as it is now possible to get a brand new car for a lower price than a used car.
The price of a used car has actually risen by 30% since last year as the Scrappage Scheme seems to have severely limited the amount of used cars on the market...meaning that demand has really outstripped supply.
With used cars at their highe ...

By: Brigette Federico | - Motoring offences has become the most popular topic in the present time. If you are facing any motoring offences so you can speak to lawyer who is specialist in such cases. Like any other firms we also deal with motoring cases. Many speeding cameras are available but still no motorists are self-satisfied.

- The Mito's Perfect Timing
By: Tony Hill | - There's no real way of denying it - from motorways to town centres, shopping centre car parks and pertol station forecourts, it's clear that our cars our shrinking.
Less car manufacturers are pumping out adverts for high-power, gut-busting performance cars and seem more interested in telling us, the potential buyer, how many miles we can get for a gallon of fuel in their latest little motor.
Take Alfa Romeo, for example. Not usually one of the biggest contenders in ...

- Main Dealers Keep Used Car Sales Going
By: Tony Hill | - It would be an enormous understatement to say that the recession has been bad news for businesses, especially the auto industry. However, recent statistics have shown that car sales are on the up and the last month saw the first growth in a long time. Strangely though, new car sales aren't as strong as the growth as that in used cars.
Now is clearly the time to be getting bargains on used cars. But why? Given the continual updates about the little amount of their original value th ...

- Is The Toyota Iq The Car For You?
By: Tony Hill | - The new Toyota IQ is one of the latest 'city-cars' to hit the market as the demand for small, nippy cars seems to heat up.
The likes of the Peugeot 107 and the near-identical Citroen C1 have proved a big hit as more people seem to have turned to smaller fuel-efficient cars in a bid to make their fuel go further. Toyota's latest offering is smaller than both models coming in at just 3 meters in length which makes it ideal for busy inner-city driving.

Mazda have suggested that the new hybrid line-up will consist of cars with both diesel and gasoline engines thus catering for a wider market. The new cars are set to have improved fuel economy which will in turn save the customer money.

- A Family Mpv That Is Practical And Stylish
By: Tony Hill | - At last we have a practical family MPV that serves its purpose as a practical family car... and that doesn't look like a big unattractive space wagon like many of its competitors in the market!
So many 'family MPVs' are designed to accommodate growing families - which is what they should do. But in the attempt to offer as much space as physically possible the exterior often looks like a bulky space wagon - which doesn't exactly make it aesthetically pleasing. Many families then fi ...

- Vauxhall Corsa - From Bland To Stylish
By: Tony Hill | - A few years ago Vauxhall Corsas were everywhere - literally everywhere and I suppose they still are. Almost every teenager who passed their driving test had a Corsa as their first car. Back then they were very bubble-like, lacked in imagination and looked fairly cheap - and they were.
The fact that Corsas were cheap to run, buy and insure was a key factor in making them a popular choice for teenage drivers. It is highly likely that you will put a few dinks in your first car within ...

- Bmw's Master Plan To Ride Out The Storm
By: Tony Hill | - During the current economic climate and the dire state of many of the top motoring brands it is no surprise that BMW have recently announced a large drop in profits. BMW have now announced that during 2009 they will focus on managing cash flow and costs and are not looking to make a profit.
During 2008 BMW saw the first drop in annual vehicle sales since 1993 which shows just how bad a state the motoring industry is in at the moment. Luxury cars such as the BMW Z4 were particular ...

- The Many Lives Of The Vauxhall Astra
By: Tony Hill | - The Vauxhall Astra was Britain's second best-selling car during 2005, 2006 and 2007 - and during its reign it has gone through several dramatic changes in appearance.
The Mark 1 Astra rivalled the likes of the VW Golf and the Ford Escort, it was available in a hatchback, saloon and an estate. Looking back at this car it epitomises classic 80's styling - boxy and angular.
The Mark 2 Astra shed the harsh lines for curved edges making it more aerodynamic - well for the ...

- Getting Compact In A Beamer
By: Tony Hill | - The BMW 1 series was introduced to the market in 2005, replacing the 3 series compact models. It brought to the market something completely new - it was an affordable BMW with distinctive looks, great performance and all the BMW quality fixtures and fittings you would expect.
During its first year in production the BMW 1 series proved to be an instant hit and became one of BMW's most successful cars as it sold around 150,000 units during 2005. In 2006 the 1 series accounted for 1 ...

- Kia Use Some Soul To Get Cool
By: Tony Hill | - Kia has traditionally been associated with "cheap cars" that often lack in quality and it seems that they are taking small steps to try and move away from this image.
Kia cars have never really been seen as being "cool" either - which is something they are trying to encompass with their latest offering - the new Kia Soul.
The Kia Soul brings to the market an innovative new design which will certainly stand out on the roads. Kia are also trying to attract younger bu ...

- Would You Chose A Seat Over A Polo Or Golf?
By: Tony Hill | - The Seat Ibiza is a sort of cross between the VW Polo and the VW Golf. As Seat are owned by Volkswagen many of the recent Seat Ibizas have been built on the same platform as the Polo and therefore they share many of the same characteristics.
However, more recent Ibizas have adopted some of the Golf's sporty styling and good engine performance as well which meant the Ibiza became a cross between the two. The Polo has become slightly more conservative and family-friendly so it doe ...

Recently people seem to be becoming more concerned with the damage cars can cause the environment too - which may bode well for Fiat car sales. When looking for a new car people also want one that will promise them good fuel economy so that they can squeeze ever ...

- Audi Up The Style Factor
By: Tony Hill | - In the last couple of years Audi have really come up trumps when it comes to producing hot, stylish and sought after cars. Two of the best in their collection is the stunning Audi R8 and the trendy Audi TT.
The TT is definitely the most affordable of the pair as the R8 will leave a huge dent in your wallet - 80,000 in fact - but when you look at it I'm sure you will think that every last penny was worth it. Just to have that sublime piece of engineering sat proudly on your drive o ...

- Can One Car Please A Whole Continent?
By: Tony Hill | - The new Kia Cee'd was designed with one thing in mind: pleasing European motorists. Yet things that are designed by committee usually emerge into production as something that hints at many applications but achieves none, putting a faint smile on most faces but really pleasing none.
The saying "you can't please all the people all the time" must have come from somewhere yet seems to go ignored. So how do you go about pleasing as many people as possible, say a whole continent, for e ...

- Reclaiming A Classic: Does The 500 Have What It Takes?
By: Tony Hill | - Follow-ups, re-launches, call them what you will but usually the re-introduction of a new version of an old favourite in motoring terms tends to point to one of two things - that the manufacturer is out of ideas and desperate to rekindle some of the original's magic in terms of sales and appeal and, unfortunately, the relative failure of the new addition.
It's a cynical approach, sure, but there is history to look back on and say "see!" Take the attempts to reintroduce two sixtie ...

- C'mon: What's The Corsa's Youth Appeal?
By: Tony Hill | - It's one of the most popular choices for a first car, so why is the Vauxhall Corsa such a popular choice among young people?
In many ways the Corsa is the perfect choice for learner drivers and teens looking for their first car. It falls into the low-insurance group and low tax band which makes it a good choice economically. This is often a major factor when young people choose a car as insurance quotes can be sky high - particularly for teenage boys.
The fact that ...

By: Tony Hill | - While making the motoring public and press aware of the many benefits and features of their new executive model, there was little column space given to the fact that the birth of the Insignia bought about the death of one of Vauxhall's longer-term vehicles: the Vectra.
It could almost be suggested that the Vectra was being done away with quietly, like a mistake being hastily swept under the carpet of the stained-seat-cushion swiftly overturned while nobody was looking. Why, thoug ...

By: Tony Hill | - Diesels. There, what was your response? They say (in the hallowed boardrooms of advertising) that we all have an initial response to something be it a word or a picture. This is driven by personal experience, peer pressure, media content, advertising and so on.
But can this change? Has the motor industry done enough to not only challenge but change the majority response to diesels?
Take the new Ford Fiesta, for example. This car looks like one of the best models in ...

In an ideal situation a sports car would make the world of difference and it's forgivable to daydream given the wealth of choice that the range offers.
It seems that every country has more than one sports-car manufacturer to its name now and some which weren't historically associated with the range. Take BMW and Audi, for instance. Once typic ...

- Five Ways Your Driving Style Can Reduce Car Tyre Wear
By: James Todman | - If you are looking for ways to save money on motoring costs then some simple adjustments to your driving style can really help the budget.
It is not just fuel consumption that your driving style has an impact on. The rate of tyre wear can be directly linked to the way your car is driven. Ask a boy racer who favours fast driving and spinning tyres how often he has to replace his car tyres compared to a more sedate driver. One thing is for sure- the boy racer will have less money i ...

By: Mike McCoy | - I don't know anyone who owns an automobile that hasn't added an automotive aftermarket accessory to that vehicle. Some of us want to protect our investment so we choose automotive interior accessories to protect the floor, or protect the seats. Or maybe we choose automotive exterior accessories to protect the vehicle finish with an auto sealant or car cover.
Sometimes we choose automotive aftermarket accessories to distinguish our vehicle from the others. It's a way we give it a ...

For the least serious offences you are likely to receive just a fine. If you are caught not wearing a seatbelt or talking on a mobile phone while driving, for example, you may receive a one-off fine called a fixed penalty notice, usually 30.
More serious offences such as speeding usually result in a 60 fine, or more, and you may get penalty points on your licence. The points system operates on a sliding scale depending on how serious the offence is. Make s ...

By: Greenflag | - Although even witnessing an accident can be harrowing, you should try to stay calm. Avoid panicking and potentially causing another accident by running across the road to help.
If you are in your own car, use your hazard lights to warn approaching traffic of an incident.
Once at the scene of the accident, your first priority should be to check if anyone is injured and if so call 999 for an ambulance and breakdown services. Be aware that someone who is screaming may actually be less ...

Firstly, shop around. Tell the mechanic you just want a quote in the first instance. This way, not only do you get to compare a variety of prices, but the mechanic is less likely to risk losing ...
