dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">As I sit here typing these words I often wonder how educated the average person is on how their car or truck functions on icy roads. its generally icy right around -2 to -5. The passage of your car or truck over the hyway creates fiction and heat. Spinning your tires at and intersection trying to get the vehicle moving actually perpetuates the problem. The tires heat up melting any snow that may be on them or on the road. This creates a thin layer of water on top of the road. As if its below zero outside then it freezes right away. Following a big truck or semi truck isn't always a good option either. They're generally carrying a lot of weight and create a ton of heat on the road so there could even be more ice under your wheels by the time your vehicle passes over then same place the big truck did.<br /><br />Winter tires should be an absolute must on the roads in Alberta when the weather turns cold. I see these SUV's and passenger cars out there with 20 inch wheels or all season radials and the drivers drive them the same way they would in the summer. Really? Living in the day and age we do I've found less and less people with any type of automotive knowledge or experience. This is where professionals such as mechanics should bestow a basic knowledge on their customers,in a perfect world anyways. I've personally talked to a number of mechanics and professional tire guys and the like. And truth be told I wish they would pat me on the back to help me swollow the BS they're trying to feed me. An example was a female friend of mine that was told that her brake fluid was contaminated and that caused her ABS senors to have to be replaced. At NO time does ANY brake fluid come in contact with ANY sensor on ANY vehicle built in the world. I drigress however from the main topic. which is this,a basic understanding of how a vehicle functions in any type of weather and a basical knowledge of vehicle maintenance should be a pre-requeset to getting your drivers license. This would save countless dollars and a lot of time for drivers.</div>Justin

car or truck.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align:

above,think ao all those parts and peices moving together without the chance to properly warm up.</div><br />Ya I know its been a few days since I've posted anything. Sometimes things get done a little slower when it hits -30 outside. Speaking of which,I was having a conversation at the office recently and the subject of warming up your engine came up. It seams to me that they're are a few so called "experts" out there that continue to say you only need to warm up your engine for 30 seconds then you can drive. Let me ask you something. Do you remember when you got into gym class in school and your gym teacher had you warm up to loosen up your muscles and joints prior to exercising? Wouldn't it stand to reason that any moving parts regardless of what it is..your body,heavy machinery,your vehicle's engine, would need the same?<br /><br /> These experts are counting on you trusting them at their word. The most wear takes place inside the first 2 minutes that your engine is running. When its minus 30 outside internal engine parts are actually smaller than when they are at operating temperature. Before you start your car the inside of your engine`s cylinders is the same ambient temperature as it is outside. Then when the car starts,there is an air fuel mixture that causes internal combustion increases that temperature extremely fast. Now think of what happens when you put a load on that engine without giving anytime to allow thed internal engine parts to expand. Would you walk into a gym and dead lift 600 lbs without warming up your muscles and joints first? If you are going to do that then be prepared to live with the results. Same goes for your engine. You'll drastically reduce the life and dependibility of your car or truck.<br /><br /> It boils down to this,let your vehicle warm up to whatever the normal operating tamperature is for that vehicle. If you don't know what that is,then either check the gauge after you've driven the vehicle for a half hour or so or err on the side of caution and give it 15-20 minutes of warm up time. Of course there's no point in letting your vehicle idle for no reason and there are people that may complain about how long you let your vehicle warm up. Think of it this way, when their vehicle is broken down or they need to pay a costly repair bill because of premature wear and tear of their vehicle you can trust the fact that you are taking steps to insure you get the most out of your vehicles engine by taking proper care of it.</div>Justin Thomhttps://plus.google.com/110458431123048809293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420084.post-82072711202849488982013-11-28T15:04:00.002-07:002013-11-28T15:07:55.954-07:00The Distracted Driving Blitz.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Lets face it,it had to come to a head sooner or later. We see it everywhere and probably even done it too. I know I have. You pull up to an intersection behind someone and it takes them a bit to figure out the light turned green. You hit the horn and you see the head pop up and then the car starts rolling. As you're driving past you see the person staring more at their phone then they are at the road. And you probably think to yourself "Get off the damn phone". In the meant time your phone goes off and you think nothing of checking it. I've even done it myself recently. My better half,who just happens to be a peace officer said "It can wait" from the passenger side of the truck. And you know what? It really wasn't that important that I answer it anyways.<br /><br /> There are far too many people behind the wheel that think they can do what ever they want without thinkin g about what problems it can cause other drivers or pedestrians. Seeing people put make up on or reading while they drive really brings this to mind. If your travelling at 60 mph (about 100 kph) then you are travelling 88 feet per second. It takes a third of a second to react to a stimulus. In that third of a second you've travelled almost 30 feet before you even touch the brakes. Then you have lag time,which is the time it takes for the brakes to fully apply. This is more than enough time to run into something or someone before you even know it. You may have gotten away with driving with these habits for years but,truth is the odds are going to catch up to you and when they do,they'll more than make up for the time you got away with it. So why even take the chance? Its gotten to the point that over 75% of accidents involve distracted driving. Why do you think the first thing an officer wants to see at the scene of an accident is the cell phones? They want to know if it was a distraction. And no two ways about it,there's NO JUSTIFICATION for it! Never mind that insurance is always going up and it sucks driving by and seeing people hurt. The cost of accidents on a family is not only measured monitarily. </div>Justin Thomhttps://plus.google.com/110458431123048809293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420084.post-22720266897858914952013-11-24T10:31:00.001-07:002013-11-24T12:12:37.883-07:00Your Signal Lights<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Ya know,it never ceases to amaze me how many people think that signal lights or turn indicators as they are now reffered to more and more are an optional device. These lights are installed on your vehicle to tell other drivers around that you plan on either leaving that particular road or you plan on moving into traffic. Personally,I find it annoying that we as motorists are using these factory installed items less and less. On the other hand there are times when I've even pulled over on Crowchild Trail or Glenmore and double checked to make sure mine were working simply because it seamed to me that no one was seeing them.<br /><br /> When I used to drive big trucks hauling cattle,most of us did whats called a three flash special,we turned our signal light on for three flashes and we were coming over whether there was someone there or not. People wake up and start paying attention after that believe me. When you see a truck and trailer 75 feet long coming into your lane,you find another place to be when they're going to dis-place your vehicle. I've evn noticed that my attention has a lapse at times. Whether this is due to having a lot on my mind or it just wandering. This is a clear indicator that you should find a safe place to pull over and take a few minutes to yourself,clear your mind and relax. Let the other people on the road do what they do. Its up to you to control what you do and how you react to the road and its conditions.<br /><br />Common sense is a myth,that statement in itself suggests that we all hade the same teacher giving us all the same instruction. See where this is going? When we drive,all of us have different habits and ways we deal with stresses of the road. We all have different levels of skill and experience behind the wheel. Let me be clear,there is NO substitute for experience. I can look back and say with full confidence I would handle different driving conditions with different reactions certain times of my life. Sending your teenager to a driving school or enrolling them in a course through their high school is one of the smartest things you could do for them. Sure it may cost a few bucks its still cheaper than what an accident would cost due to not having the driving skills. One of the first things you could suggest to your kid it to ask them to pay attention to how you do things behind the wheel,you may be suprised to note just how many bad habits you have.
