Imagine Your Car With F1 Technology. It Is Real

I found this really interesting article in the BBC website. It talks about F1 technology applied to the car you drive. How? You may ask. Basically it says That F1 will use new type of engines that are smaller and more efficient. They will consume less fuel. The F1 manufacturers do this because of diminishing supplies of fossil fuels and stricter emissions regulations. These new engines will feature a reduction in fuel consumption of as much as 50% and combine modern turbocharging with energy regeneration and other innovative technologies.

All of these technologies will be applied by road-car manufacturers to make our cars more efficient, with less fuel consumption, less polluting gas emissions, and smaller engines. This new technology will be used from the year 2013.

Teaching Traffic Safety To Kids. Teach Them

The other day I saw a video on CNN about teaching young kids traffic safety. The Police and Firemen were teaching them in a practical manner. The kids drove go-karts in a small circuit with all the traffic signs, stop lights, and policemen. They taught the kids security features, like how to walk on the streets and how to cross them. Also the firemen taught the kids what to do in emergency situations. It was great for them. By teaching traffic safety to kids, they will be more aware of dangerous situations on the streets, and They will know how to react to emergencies. Also They will become excellent drivers in the future and will obey all traffic safety laws. It is great that the Police and the Fire Department do this kind of work. The following video is an example of how police departments can help to avoid traffic accidents.

The following is a Japanese video that shows dangerous situations on the streets to kids, and what not to do, and how to protect themselves.

Talk To Your Car And Listen

How do you treat your car? Normally everybody likes his car, but some of us think that our car maintains itself, we tend to forget that at least we have to check it once a week. In married couples normally the man of the house (husband) is in charge of the cars or car, and women prefer to think in more important things than the car, which is OK. Some of us talk to our car, and treat it with love. When it doesn't start for some reason you talk to it so that it can start, and suddenly it starts working. I don't know if it happened to you but it is funny. You can see in movies that people talk to their cars (Of course in The Transformers, but in other movies too).

You also have to listen to your car, It talks to you with its engine sounds and noises ( In not automatic cars you change gear by listening to the engine or by watching the engine's revolutions), also by checking your car's dashboard you can listen (There are gadgets that tell you when the engine warmed up, or your trip mileage).

What can I say, treat your car with love, talk to it if you want, and also pay attention and listen to what your car is trying to tell you. Remember always drive safely.
