The Savety Comparations of Motorbikes and Cars

cars are safer than motorbikes

For years we were led to believe that cars are safer than motorbikes. However, this statement was created by people involved in the car industry to protect their own interests. It is high time that we open our eyes and see the true: motorbikes are better than cars.

First of all, we should know that riding a motorbike is not dangerous in itself. What makes it dangerous is the fact that cities tend to be packed with cars. Plus, cities are designed for cars, not motorbikes. However, it is not the vehicle itself that is dangerous; it is cars that pose a risk to motorbikes. 

Secondly, it should be highlighted the fact that a car is only equipped with one brake, located on the driveshaft. This brake is completely useless under rain conditions; in fact some drivers need over a mile to brake their cars. Motorbikes, on the other hand, count with three brakes, and can come to a total stop in only 100 feet. 

The body of a car is made out of aluminum foil

The body of a car is made out of aluminum foil, a fact that makes the car completely unstable, and it can easily lose control under certain circumstances. Motorbikes do not have a body, so it is easy to keep them under control, and avoid accidents. 

Motorbikes are more economical. There is no parking fee for motorbikes, and road tax is much cheaper for them. Also, in places like London motorbikes do not have to pay for a congestion charge. And talking about congestions, traffic jams are not a problem for motorbikes, since they can easily escape them.

If everybody rode a motorbike, the world would be much safer. Whenever there is a collision between two motorbikes, at the most, people involved in the accident get a broken bone. However, a crash between two cars often results in fatalities. 

A car is a deadly weapon

A car is a deadly weapon, everything about this vehicle was designed to hurt or kill. For example, the glass in a car will explode inwards, in the event of an accident. If something like this happened, the passengers of the vehicles would end up badly hurt and with many cuts on their bodies. Motorbikes do not have any glass, thus there is no danger in this respect.

If you drive a motorbike and get involved in an accident, you will not run the risk of being stuck or trapped in the vehicle like a car driver. There are all sorts of protective gear available for motorbike riders . Also, since motorbike riders are in a higher position than car drivers, they tend to have a better view.

Motorbikes are much cheaper, and run longer than cars. Riders do no assume anything and are extra careful while on the bikes. In addition, motorbikes pollute less than a car. The list of reasons why riding a motorbike is better than driving a car could go on endlessly. It is up to you, to make a wise choice, and decide what you want for your life.

A Student Guide to Buying your First Car

A Student Guide to Buying your First Car Getting your very first car is a very exciting experience for those who manage to either get a very good second hand car or even a brand-new car, even more so.

Choosing a new car can be a difficult task, especially if it is second hand and below is a small guide of things to look out for when making decisions about what car to get. 

What to look for and avoid

 

Some first-time buyers make the mistake of wanting to buy a zooped-up sporty car to show off to their friends and with the mind-set that it will bring them more enjoyment. This should be avoided at all costs if you are buying a second-hand vehicle as there is a great chance that the cars previous owner/s have driven the car hard and have caused a lot of wear and damage to the engine and other parts. 

Buying a 1.4L car from an old lady who was the only owner of the car is a much better option than buying a 2.5L sports car from a young yuppie etc. 

Inspect the car for any signs of recent repairs done to its body. Body-damage may mean that the car was in an accident and the functional parts of the car in the engine compartment might have been affected. If the car struggles to start at the first attempt, makes any abnormal noises and has problems while changing gears, using the clutch or applying the brakes, avoid it. 

Dont be fooled by optional extras like big mag-wheels, spoilers, new interiors and a booming sound system etc. 

What you want to focus on is that the cars engine and functioning parts are unquestionable and run well.

 The Sellers People who sell cars fall into the following categories:

Private sellers: Can get good deals, but beware of potential rip-off deals too.

Dealerships: Independent or Franchised. Franchised Dealerships are the safer option as they are more reputable and trade under a large name. They also provide after-sale service deals. Independent dealers can be used too as they can offer good deals and vehicle financing, but some can be sly and sell you a below-standard car under false pretences.

Auctions: Can offer very good cars at a reasonable price with the added benefit of a financial comeback should the car fail to work after purchase.

 How to pay for it 

The two ways to pay for a car are either by cash or through vehicle financing. Since most people arent sitting on a mountain of cash at home, they tend to use vehicle financing or even loans in order to affect the purchase. Vehicle financing is offered by most merchant banks, independent financial institutions, accredited money-lenders and even the dealerships themselves. Each type of vehicle financing option will have a different set of repayment rules and interest rates so you should do your homework and find the one that best suits you. 

The Service  If you received the car and it has not been services yet, see below a list of things that should be serviced in your car:

Spark plugs: If there is any corrosion or degradation on your current plugs, buy new ones.

Oil: If this hasnt been changed in a while, draining and adding new oil is advisable.

Air Filter: Check to see if there is a build-up of dirt. If so, replace.

Oil Filter: If you intend on changing the oil, always use a new filter.

Hydraulic/Gearbox Fluid: Colour should be red. If blackened or dirty, change immediately.

Fuses: Check your fuse-box. Any burnt-out fuses should be replaced with new ones.

Bulbs: Check that all the lights of your new vehicle work, otherwise replace with new bulbs.

Brake-Pads: Worn brake-pads are dangerous on the road and damage your car. Replace.

Tyres: Worn tyres run the risk of bursting or losing traction on the road. Replace.

Windscreen Wipers: Broken wipers are compromised and wont be effective during rainy weather.

Leads & Wires: Broken leads and wires can cause fires, short-circuits and vehicle malfunction.
