How to Avoid a Crash during a Brake Failure

By | August 3rd, 2017

A brake failure shouldn’t occur if you get your brakes inspected on a regular basis and keep up with the car maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual. However, even these measures aren’t an ironclad guaranty. Perhaps someday while driving, your brakes will suddenly go soft. If the road ahead doesn’t have a stop light, stop sign, obstruction, or other reason for quickly stopping, then you’re in luck. That is, if you know how to stop your car without working brakes. If this should happen, you can avoid a car crash by.

By | July 13th, 2017

Most drivers lack emergency maneuvering skills. There is little if any training in this in the driving education courses for getting a driving license.

By | June 15th, 2017

When a motorcycle accident involves seemingly minor scrapes and bruises, the temptation is strong to quickly get past the unpleasant experience and resume your normal daily routine.

You may not feel the injuries at first because the accident may have triggered pain suppressing hormones. In addition, it may take time before tissue inflammation and/or internal bleeding to become extensive enough to.

How Worn Rear Tire Tread on a Front Wheel Drive Can Cause a Crash

By | June 1st, 2017

Some frugal car owners with front wheel drive may be tempted to buy new tires for the front wheels only. The reasoning behind this is that the front wheels seem to do everything that matters while the rear wheels just go along for the ride. After all, the front wheel accelerates the car and does the steering. These two vital functions require good tire tread. Once all four tires wear down after careful tire rotation, you can spend half as much money by only replacing the front tires. As long as the.
