Volkswagen Tiguan: a new player in the camp of crossovers

In late July 2008, "Rus-Lan" launched the new compact crossover Volkswagen Tiguan. The event attracted a lot of people. Interest in the new model showed both journalists and potential buyers. On this car has been known for quite a lot, and these data are positive. Judge for yourself: 5 stars on the system EuroNCAP; SUV Year by the Professional German edition «Off Road»; motor TSI, mounted on the crossover, for the past three years received the title "Engine of the Year" in the most prestigious technical competition «Engine of the Year» . Another trump card of a new car - Kaluga assembly, resulting in the machine became more available to the buyer. At first glance it looks Tiguan is not very liked - a white car painted with "shagreen". Price starts from 900 thousand for the money you could try a little more. On the other hand, the most fierce competitor - Nissan Qashqai - painted no better. Generally, in Sunderland, this "English Detroit Japanese cars, quality paint some not reach the highest standards. I wonder, how much should cost a car to "sharkskin" on it was missing? With the metallic colors, though, things are a little better.

Someone waiting for traffic cops around the corner?

Every day in cities of Russia violated rules of the road. Blame themselves drivers who either forgot the theory of driving, or simply did not read it. The traffic police, as expected, to monitor the situation on the roads and penalize violators. But there is insatiable werewolves in epaulets, who, instead of maintaining security on the roads have become extortionists. Save from them can only excellent knowledge of laws and traffic rules, otherwise there is danger of parting with a large sum of money for nothing. One of the major "bases" on the part of law enforcement officials - planting drugs. Usually, this performance is played in two acts. In the first scene, the driver stopped in the office and inspect the car. And one policeman distracts a motorist and a second, disappeared from view, throws up a package with white powder. Incidentally, this package is unlikely to be a real drug, most likely a fake. Found nothing, the car released. Intermission lasts until the next post, until the unsuspecting driver going with dangerous cargo under the rug. The second stage begins at the next post, where the driver stopped and again during the inspection are ... a packet of narcotic powder! Then spellbound driver announced that he addict. Curtain. A behind the scenes has already started another game, where the traffic police announce the amount of (rather big), for which the question can be "solved on the spot." Another option with the recognition of driver's addiction was carried out with the assistance of corrupt doctors.

The driver's response: Do not think about the seconds down!

Driver's license issued to all who passed their standards in a driving school. Issues and requirements for all the same, until the crust cherished future, motorists are approximately equal to each other. And already getting on the road with your own car, everyone starts to behave differently. One reason, apart from psychological characteristics, is a driver's reaction to changes in traffic conditions. Driver's reaction time includes the time interval from the appearance of a signal to change the road traffic conditions (auditory, visual) before the return of sitting while driving (braking, turning etc.). The reaction of the driver is divided into simple and complex: the first includes the manipulation of response to one stimulus (turning, braking riding in the front car), and the second - a reaction to several stimuli (unregulated intersection). With the help of studies have found that the response of the driver's braking riding in the front car with the running of stop signals are formed on average 0.42 seconds, at traffic lights in the village - 0.4 seconds, on road signs - 0.5 seconds on uneven surface of the roadway - 0,8 seconds. Depending on the psychology of the driver's reaction to the changing situation on the road with a subsequent inhibition ranging from 0.5 to 2 seconds. Men react by pressing the brake pedal on average 0.57 seconds, and women - for 0.62 seconds. Only 2% of drivers react to the braking signal for 0.37 seconds, 50% - 0.61 seconds and the remaining 48% - of 0.78 seconds.

The woman behind the wheel: we can not be fooled!

Rare motorists can boast of knowing the internal structure of her car. Usually against women and cars are built on love and consumption. Unfortunately, the lack of sufficient knowledge in the automotive field and ability to engage in repair and use cunning scam. How to avoid losing money, nerves and time? Girls fall into the hands of cheaters even before they get a driver's license - in a driving school. For example, my driving instructor instead of the 15 sessions held to only 7, so that for exams, I was only half ready. When I phoned to arrange a lesson, he complained of his employment, but actually engaged in paid students (overtime sessions, the money for which he put in his pocket). Once he left me alone in the car, and fined train in parallel parking, and he spent an hour with another student. And when I tried to remind his presence, he hinted that his time - is money. In such cases, you must immediately complain to the driving school for instructors, it must be replaced by a more competent staff. Do not get fooled by talk of an extra fee, because you have already paid a rather big amount for a full preparation for driving. The next trap is waiting for motorists in the process of buying a car. It does not matter, it is new or used, in choosing its iron satellite is better to enlist the support of men. Not because girlfriend is worse versed in cars, but because the man next to the shopper may be harder to ohmurit beautiful words. In addition, knowledgeable in cars buddy can make a cursory examination to decide whether to carry it on further, more detailed diagnosis.

The temperature of food placed in such a capacity, remained unchanged during the day. The principle of operation as a thermos. The role of the bulb performs box made of polypropylene, which provides thermal insulation. The interior of the insulated container lined with plastic, which prevents bacterial growth. For its effective work in the mode of preservation of the low temperature needed "batteries cold" (hladoelementy reusable), pre-chilled in the freezer. It is a plastic case filled with a gelatinous substance, water-based. Products in the container shifted such hladoelementami that provides long-term maintenance of low temperature. Thermoelectric avtoholodilnik most environmentally friendly, does not contain a refrigerant, has no moving parts. The principle of operation is in the heating / cooling the wafer during the passage through them of an electric current. Nutrition comes from the power of the car, as well as the network 220 via an adapter. This refrigerator can operate in two modes - the heating and cooling, which distinguishes it from other types of refrigerators. In addition, thermoelectric refrigerator can operate at any bias.
