When the frost tore the trolleybus wires and water pipes, put on an equal petrol and diesel engines is simply not fair. Frost and diesel thing is that at low temperatures defective gasoline engine depends only on the battery capacity and viscosity of oil, while diesel "praying" is also on the quality of fuel. In the cold diesel oil as a jellied skillful chef, becomes gelatinous. Water, which unscrupulous sellers of fuel diluted diesel fuel freezes and tightly clog "arteries" car.

"Frontal overview: automotive glass
The word "glass" is associated with something cold and brittle, and the combination of "Windshields" already conjures up thoughts of a warm and durable materials. The first windshield was installed on a production car in 1927, and the 30-th years of XX century in Europe and America on the machines were installed with might and main and nose, and rear and side windows. Prior to these while driving was dangerous because of the risk cut himself badly conventional window panes, which were placed on the machine. Glass for automobiles are divided into two types - single and multi-layered. The first was invented multilayer, its creator was a Frenchman Edouard Benedictus. True, the discovery happened by accident - while working in a lab scientist dropped a flask of chemicals, but it is not broke on the floor, and remained intact. It turned out that before the fall there was a liquid plastic (cellulose nitrate), which, after weathering a donkey on the walls of the flask as a thin transparent film. This film is not given to break the glass bulb. Benedictus understand what benefits can bring his accidental invention, and immediately begin the development of laminated glass. However, the patent for the technology to produce glass "Triplex" (the name comes from the Latin word "triple"), he was only in 1910, seven years after the fall of the bulb. Developed glass was much safer than usual, but because of the specific technology of its production cost of this material was rather big.
Maker at the wheel: mingle in the stream or proudly hang the flag newbie?
Members at the wheel often become participants in the accident. The reasons are simple - a "Dummies" less experience, skills and confidence. Government again bothered increase safety on the roads and issued a proposal to celebrate the machines that sit behind the wheel drivers with experience of less than two years, special notes. So other motorists and pedestrians will be warned about possible dangers. In driving school half-baked drivers receive theoretical knowledge and the only 'raw' driving skills, they will have to hone over the years. The first weeks of travel on public roads seem to be the most difficult, so many things need to get done and nothing is done, rests on the shoulders of freshman huge responsibility. One experienced driver had complained that one day he happened to drive by car the wife with the sign "U". His "belabour" on the road all and sundry, especially getting any of the drivers' Lada and Volga, and even speculators have tried to substitute a side-kick of their foreign cars. That's how much hardship borne by novice motorists. The first six months of driving can be reduced to get used to driving authorities and size, the introduction of a common rhythm of movement. In the city do not travel 60 km / h, and a newcomer from him for the rest of the reaction of braking hard to "rush" for a hundred, together with all the second and third bands, not to mention the left. Teapots have to ride the right lane, but there they are waiting for tests - must constantly go around parked cars, and this should be reorganized.

The history of the "double chevron»
New car brand Citroen has taken part in rallies in the early 50's. In 1953, rallying in Monte Carlo car Citroen 19CV finished an honorable third place. While the main advantage of a racing car was not power or maximum speed and reliability. In each race to the finish traveled far from everything. About this Citroen World Rally team heard two years later. In 1955, all in the same Monte Carlo rally attended Citroen DS, dubbed "Goddess." By the standards of those years, this car had obsolete underpowered engine, as well as complex and precarious suspension. However, a "Goddess" and her followers had one distinct advantage that allows them an equal fight with recognized leaders. It was to the front-wheel configuration. The fact is that while virtually all the rally cars had the classic rear-wheel drive. On the competition front-wheel drive Citroen has good handling and maneuverability. In 1959, a car Citroen DS19 Paul Koltelloni became the European champion. In the 60 years on the European rally tracks, new leaders - the British Mini Cooper. C these rivals the French could not fight on equal terms. However, in order to win leadership of Citroen was ready to go even to the unsportsmanlike actions.

Rolls-Royce: History of the Silver Lady »
The merger of capital and talent into the world may appear a good thing. But only the tandem of big money and genius makes a truly beautiful creations. And Rolls-Royce is considered one of the most beautiful works of automotive twentieth century. The roots of this car go to the XIX century, when Henry Royce in 1884, he founded the electro-mechanical plant. However, the birthday of one of the most exclusive cars see yet 4 May 1904, when, in fact, met his "parents" - Henry Royce and Charles Rolls. By the time Roy had his own company and was quite a wealthy man, leaving behind the sale of newspapers, working as an assistant foreman and years of constant improvement. Rolls, by contrast, had a noble title and was a talented businessman and a successful rider, having assets of Cambridge, the French aeronaut-school pilots and the company to trade cars. Both gentlemen at the time dating the mother owning a car and a burning desire to have a first class car. And so these two met alone. The fruit of the meeting was an agreement on establishing the firm, signed on Dec. 23, 1904. And in 1905, saw the light of the first Rolls-Royce. Furor he did not make, and not even particularly memorable for the audience. Like all cars of that time, the unit resembles a large clumsy coach. Incidentally, the first Rolls-Royce, gathered in Manchester in November 1904, is now privately owned by a family of Love. The company Rolls-Royce, for which get their hands on the earliest of the surviving cars was a matter not only prestige, but also honor, and could not get that legendary car.

Braking
The basis of safe driving is timely braking. Learn how to put out the speed or stop the car, the driver will avoid most emergency situations and will feel more confident behind the wheel. It would seem, what complex - PUSH yourself brake pedal, the car stops. But the slightest mistake during this maneuver can lead to skid, spin and even tip over a car. The art of correct braking consists in the ability to use the maximum adhesion to the road, keep straight direction during braking, engine braking with a decrease in "transmission (for cars with manual transmission) and the ability to stop the car when the brake system failure. Slowing the machine is under the influence of braking forces on the front and rear wheels. In addition, during the movement of the car the force of inertia is applied in the center above the road surface. This force the front wheels add to the load and unload the rear - the car leans forward slightly, nodding. " The load on the brake pedal force is not increased. This option depends on the load on the wheel and the grip - the stronger the wheel is loaded, the higher the braking force. Based on the laws of physics, static friction greater than sliding friction. Adhesion with the road depends on the degree of wheel slip on the road. In partial slip wheel creates maximum friction coefficient, while the full slip ratio can be reduced by half. Therefore, all the instructors and seasoned motorists are advised in any case not lead to wheel slip (Hughes) during heavy braking.
