Drivers are being urged to take the 20p test to make sure their tyres are safe and legal as part of tyre safety month.
Recent Department for Transport figures show that more than 200 people were killed or seriously injured in the UK in 2009 as a result of an accident where illegal, defective or under-inflated tyres were a contributory factor.
“Checking that your car’s tyres have adequate tread depth is extremely simple and easy,” said Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe.
“As campaign movie shows, you don’t need any specialist tools or knowledge. A simple 20p coin and a few minutes is all it takes.
“With such potentially devastating and life-changing consequences, drivers should ask themselves if they can afford not to take the test?”
To take the 20p test drivers need to simply insert a 20p coin into the main tread grooves of their car’s tyres.
If the outer rim of the coin is covered by the tread, this indicates sufficient tread depth to be safe and legal.
If the outer rim of the coin is visible, drivers should have their tyres inspected by a qualified professional.
In addition to the online video, hundreds of garages and tyre retailers across the country will be offering free tyre safety checks.

P D Motors Offering helpful advice when traveling in Europe this summer
If you’re holidaying within Europe, there are also some compulsory driving requirements different to those in the UK. First of all, you’ll need a GB Sticker on your vehicle when leaving the country. Make sure you have a warning triangle and reflective jacket in your boot, as in countries such as France, Austria, Spain and Belgium this is a legal requirement. Check the AA compulsory equipment document at the bottom of the page for a comprehensive list of requirements so your holiday goes off without a hitch.
Remember, if you do not adhere to a country’s laws you may find yourself with an on the spot fine of between €90 and €135.
Before your holiday:
Plan your route thoroughly and make sure your Sat Nav and maps are up to date.
Make sure you know the driving laws and speed limits before entering the country; they may be different to the UK.
Check any vehicle or license requirements at least two months in advance of your holiday.
Pack an emergency kit. This is only a requirement in Austria, but it’s good to have just in case.
Get your vehicle checked over by your local Good Garage Scheme garage to ensure it is ready and safe for a long distance journey.
Pack your vehicle registration document, your motor insurance certificate and your passport somewhere safe.

Hi all Its Friday Giggle time
A teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
Kathy said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup when we hit a bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made
a mess." "And what's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher.
Next little Lucy raised a hand and said, "Our family are farmers, too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks and the moral to this story is, don't count your chickens until they're hatched."
"That was a fine story Lucy.
Johnny, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, ma'am! My daddy told me this story about my Aunt Marge. She was a flight engineer during Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a Machete. So .. she drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break. Then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed 70 of them with the machine gun until it ran out of bullets! Then she killed 20 more with the machete till the blade broke; then she killed the last 10 with her bare hands."
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher,
"what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"
"Stay away from Aunt Marge when she's been drinking."
Have a good week end

Interest rates are rising
Do you think this might have something to do with it
I thought this should be passed to as many people as possible.
When VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, the Chancellor added 2% duty to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected from motorists. Now that VAT has been increased to 17.5% again this hidden tax has not been removed - hence recent rises in your fuel costs. Sign the petition at the link below to have this stealth tax removed!
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/DutyReduction/
Please pass this on to your friends - the more the merrier.
Also used car prices have risen by a large percentage due to the scrapage scheme, another reason for the increase.
And the final blow yes the Banks who started this recession are on a high nice big bonus due to nice big profits, who paid the price for this lot?

Motor Codes launches best garage competition
Thursday, 11 February 2010
Motor Codes, the government backed regulatory body for the motor industry, has launched a competition to find the best UK service and repair garages.
Garage survey results
It coincides with the release of the results of a Motor Codes survey today which found half or 14 million motorists believe they have been "ripped off" by garages. The Golden Garage Competition is intended to champion garages while also raising the profile of Motor Codes in Britain, get more garages on its books and more consumers to use its website.
Garages voted top in their region can expect prizes worth £1,000. The Golden Garage national winner, picked from the regional shortlist by an expert panel of judges will receive prizes worth over £5,000.
Public and all garages can follow the competition at Golden Garages and on Twitter.
"The service and repair sector historically has a bad reputation when it comes to cost," said Chris Mason, Motor Codes director

A man met a beautiful lady and he decided that he wanted to marry her right away. She said, "But we don't know anything about each other." He said, "That's alright. We'll learn about each other as we go along."
She consented, and they were married, and went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort. One morning they were lying by the pool, when he got up off of his towel, climbed up to the ten-meter board and did a two and a half tuck gainer. This was followed by three rotations in jackknife position, where he straightened out and cut the water like a knife.
After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on the towel. She said, "That was incredible!" He said, "I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we'd learn more about ourselves as we went along."
She got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing laps. After about thirty laps, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel hardly out of breath.
He said, "That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?" No," she said. "I was a hooker in Venice and I worked both sides of the canal."

Toyota confirms Prius brakes recall in the UK
Toyota has launched a global recall on the latest generation Prius to rectify a software problem in the anti-lock braking system.
This follows last week's high profile accelerator recall of 180,000 models in the UK.
Third generation
The Prius recall will apply to all third generation models built before 27 January 2010 and will include 8,500 models in the UK.
The brand said no accidents linked to this issue have been reported in Europe and the recall would not apply to Lexus hybrid models.
The recall is being taken in response to reports of what Toyota termed "inconsistent brake feel during slow and steady braking on bumpy or slick road surfaces when the ABS is actuated."
ABS software upgrade
Toyota dealers and authorised repairers will carry out an ABS software upgrade on the affected cars in a job which will take around 40 minutes.
Toyota said it will write individually to every owner in the next few days having obtained their contact details from the DVLA.
"In the meantime, the cars are safe to drive. At no time are drivers without brakes. Toyota GB guarantees to every customer its utmost attention to making this upgrade as quickly and efficiently as possible," said a company statement.

Toyota service centres will operate extended opening hours to carry out accelerator pedal modification work on 180,865 recalled vehicles.
The work, which takes less than 30 minutes to complete, starts today across 206 Toyota dealerships and authorised repairers.
Toyota service centres have also received the software update for the Prius brake system which was the subject of a recall yesterday (9 February).
Extended hours
"Toyota service centres will be working extended hours and weekends. As a consequence, they have the combined capacity to repair 6,000 vehicles per day. By Friday we will have received 100,000 repair parts from Japan. We have implemented the recall as quickly as possible," said Steve Settle, Toyota's UK customer services director.
Toyota will prioritise those customers whose cars have been identified as having the fault via the Toyota customer helpline or directly with centres.

प्रोब्लेम्स अत toyota
Toyota GB commercial director Jon Williams has addressed the UK over its recall problems in a Youtube video on Toyota’s UK blog.
Toyota’s reputation and unique selling point rests on the fact its models have a high-build quality and approximately 1.8 million vehicles across Europe have to be returned to dealerships as a result of problems with the accelerator pedal.
The Japanese brand's sales were down by 12.4% in the UK in January but the pedal recall would have happened too late in the month to have had a substantial effect.
Toyota dealers are likely to face a tough couple of months ahead as the UK's national press highlights the recall to consumers each day.
- Advertisement -
The repairs to rectify the recall will take 30 minutes and will be carried out free of charge. Toyota is working with dealers to negotiate extended opening hours to deal with the 180,000 vehicles which are to be recalled in the UK.
Williams said: "There’s nothing more important to us than safety. I drive a Toyota, my family and friends drive Toyotas and I wouldn’t allow my loved ones to drive our cars if I didn’t believe they were safe.
“At Toyota we have built our reputation on quality, durability, reliability and most importantly trust. We want to rebuild that trust will our customers by working through this issue.”
The following advice is being given to drivers:
In the event that a driver experiences an accelerator pedal that sticks in a partial open throttle position or returns slowly to idle position, the vehicle can be controlled with firm and steady application of the brakes.
The brakes should not be pumped repeatedly because it could deplete vacuum assist, requiring stronger brake pedal pressure.
The vehicle should be driven to the nearest safe location, the engine shut off and a Toyota retailer or road-side assistance should be contacted.
Toyota says it doesn't know of any accidents caused by the problem.
The recall of eight Toyota models in Europe was announced on January 28. The involved models in the UK include:
iQ
Aygo
Yaris
Auris
Corolla
Avensis
Verso
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
of printing Toyota press releases.
I have customers screaming at me for advice. Toyota's share price is 17% down.
WTF is going on? Toyota's handling of this stinks. It is still denying electrical acceleration issues and is being seen as misleading the public. Now there seems to be ANOTHER Prius brake issue going on. This is a massive crisis for the brand. The head of Toyota is invisible, having simply made a 20 second comment off the cuff at Davos.
The public should not have the Commercial Director (who I am sure is sincere) making a YouTube vid, but it should be the BOSS!
How long have Toyota known about this problem? Reports in America allege it goes back to 2002!

January new car registrations rose by 29.8% to 145,479 units despite the return to the 17.5% rate for VAT and a cold snap which ground the country to a halt.
The scrappage scheme continued to boost the market accounting for 17.8% of registrations and the news that the scheme will be continuing until the end of March will allow dealers to get those final sales in.
Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive, said: "The 29.8% increase in January new car registrations provides a better than expected start to 2010 for the UK motor industry.
"Scrappage continues to lift demand successfully and today’s announcement of a continuation of the scheme to the end of March will allow the maximum number of people to benefit from the budget that’s still available.
"Industry expects another difficult year with the availability of finance, consumer confidence and sustaining demand post-scrappage, key to performance in the second half of the year, but signs of recovery in the fleet and business sectors are encouraging."

Hi all Its Friday Giggle time
An Aussie truckie walks into an outback cafe with a full-grown emu behind him.
The waitress asks them for their orders.
The truckie says, 'A hamburger, chips and a coke,' and turns to the emu, 'What's yours?'
'Sounds great, I'll have the same,' says the emu.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order 'That will be $9.40 please,' and he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change and pays.
The next day, the man and the emu come again and he says, 'A hamburger, chips and a coke.'
The emu says, ' Sounds great, I'll have the same.'
Again the truckie reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter again. 'The usual?' asks the waitress.
'No, it's Friday night, so I'll have a steak, baked potato and a salad,' says the man..
' Same for me,' says the emu.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, 'That will be $32.62.'
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. 'Excuse me mate, how do you manage to always pull the exact change from your pocket every time?'
'Well, love' says the truckie, 'a few years ago, I was cleaning out the back shed, and found an old lamp. When I cleaned it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.'
'That's brilliant!' says the waitress. 'Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want, for as long as you live!'
'That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there.' says the man.
Still curious the waitress asks, 'What's with the bloody emu?'
The truckie pauses, sighs, and answers, 'My second wish was for a tall bird with a big arse and long legs, who agrees with everything I say....
Have a good week end

Hi all Its Friday Giggle time
The Wife
A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office.
After his check up, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe stress disorder. If you don't follow my instructions carefully, your husband will surely die.
"Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant at all times. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him.
"Don't burden him with chores. Don't discuss your problems with him; it will only make his stress worse. Do not nag him. Most importantly, make love to him regularly.
"If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely."
On the way home, the husband asked his wife, "What did the doctor say?"

The Wife
A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office.
After his check up, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe stress disorder. If you don't follow my instructions carefully, your husband will surely die.
"Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant at all times. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him.
"Don't burden him with chores. Don't discuss your problems with him; it will only make his stress worse. Do not nag him. Most importantly, make love to him regularly.
"If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely."
On the way home, the husband asked his wife, "What did the doctor say?"
"He said you're going to die," she replied.
Have a great week end

Friday Giggle
I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one.
It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1965.
Symptoms:
1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice. done that!
2.. Causes you to send a blank e-mail that too!
3.. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. yep!
4.. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. Aha!
5.. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment. well darn!
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. Oh, no - not again!
7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND." and I just hate that!
8.. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE." Oh No!
IT IS CALLED THE
"C-NILE VIRUS."
Hmmm....Have I already sent this to you?
Ps
If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours

Hi All
With all the negatives around this week my Friday Giggle is very important
enjoy
A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the
hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near death
experience. Seeing God, she asked, "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you
have another 43 years, two months and eight days to live." Upon
recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift,
liposuction and tummy tuck. Since she had so much more time to live, she
figured she might as well look even nicer. After her last operation, she
was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way
home, an ambulance killed her. Arriving in front of God, she demanded,
"I thought you said I had another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me out of
the path of that ambulance?" God replied, "Girl, I didn't recognize you”
Have a great weekend

Follow The Tips and Extend the Life of Your Car
Buying a car usually involves years of car payments, and it is only natural that as a new car owner you will want to protect your investment and extent the life of your car. My first tip to extend your car’s life involves the proper care giver.
Since most people don’t have the time or knowledge to maintain their own vehicles, it makes sense to look for a mechanic you trust. I may be a bit biased, but I do feel that the best place to have work done on a new vehicle (especially one still under warranty) is at a locla independant garage.
Look for a reputable garage that works on the type of car you own and check his references with his clients and other people you trust. Once you find that garage, the best thing you can do is have your car serviced by him on a routine basis. All car manufacturers have a schedule of recommended service for each vehicle they sell.
Keep your car nicely tuned and toned by following your car’s maintenance schedule. For instance, make sure you regularly change your oil, tyres, brakes, filters, spark plugs and fluids. Regular maintenance to your car can prevent most major wear and tear problems, saving you money. Some other things to do regularly are: rotate tyres and keep them properly inflated, and make sure your front end is aligned properly(tracking).
Make sure you stay on your vehicle’s maintenance schedule.
Use common sense. If you hear, see or smell something unusual while driving, get your car checked out. The sooner a mechanic diagnosis and fixes your problem the less money you will ultimately spend to fix your car. Accelerate slowly both to save fuel and preserve the life of your car, and finally wash your car and keep it neat and clean. If possible park your car in a garage or under some kind of roof. If that is not possible, buy a water repellent cover and use it even on sunny days…

Safe Driving Tips to New Drivers
By going over these common sense driving tips with your young drivers, you can protect your investment and extent the life of your car, as well as ease your mind about keeping your child as safe as possible.
Lights: Before driving a car make sure all the lights are working by walking around the car. Turn on your blinkers and make sure they work. Always drive with your headlights on for better visibility.
Leaks: Look for any fluid leaks or things hanging from the vehicle. Check your fuel level.
Tyres: Check that the tires are properly inflated.
Seatbelts: Always put on your seat belt and make sure all passengers are wearing seat belts.
Mirrors: Adjust all three mirrors before you start the car to reduce your blind spots. When driving, check behind you every 6-8 seconds.
STOPS: At stop signs and red lights come to a stop then count to 5. Look left, right, straight ahead then left again before proceeding. Keep an eye out for anyone who might run the stop sign or light.
Trucks: Be especially wary when driving behind or passing trucks because they have a large blind spot.
Never Tailgate.
Weather: Drive slowly when it is raining or foggy. Drive even slower when it is snowing. Don’t drive at all if it is icy.
In General: Never drive tired. Leave early and do not speed. Stay alert and be ready when other drivers to make mistakes. Do not talk on your cell phone or text on your cell phone. Make sure someone knows where you are going and when you are supposed to arrive. Put a card in your dash containing contact numbers, emergency contact information, and any medical needs you may have.
These simple steps will not only prolong the life of your car, they will help to keep your child safe on the roads

I’ve put together a helpful list of what I believe are the top five worst driving habits. You’ve probably all witnessed (or possibly committed) these minor driving mistakes, but I hope you find these helpful. And remember, many of these bad habits can be prevented by practicing defensive driving or using common sense. I hope you enjoy this list, and please remember to stay safe on the road.
Drinking and driving. Unless you have a death wish, don’t drink and drive. Consuming alcohol before driving a vehicle is suicidal behavior. Always make sure that you have a designated driver or place to stay for the night if you plan on drinking. Drinking and driving puts you and all other drivers in your path at risk. Just don’t do it.
Speeding. Driving at high speeds can drastically reduce reaction time—that is, you may not have enough time to prevent an accident from happening, even if you see it coming. Remember to always observe speed limits and factor in your driving conditions, especially rain, traffic, and snow. A car crash at 80 miles per hour is twice as bad as one at 55 miles per hour. By slowing down, you create a safer environment for the rest of us and arrive at your destination in one piece.
Tailgating. You are not a Formular 1 driver. You are not driving on a Grand prix racetrack—you are driving on the highway. Everybody’s got to get somewhere fast and we know you do too, but put some space between your car and other drivers. You never know when the car in front of you is going to slam on their brakes. Maintain a safe driving distance and prevent an accident.
Not wearing your seat belt. Choosing not to wear a seat belt is highly dangerous. Think of it this way: a car crash at the low speed of 30 miles per hour (without a seat belt) is similar to falling off of a three-story building. Protect yourself in all minor (and major) accidents. Take the two extra seconds before you start your car and buckle up—you’ll be thankful you did.
Not paying attention. Check your mirrors for blind spots, look out for pot holes, stalled cars, objects in the road, or any other obstacles. Don’t apply makeup, shave your legs, text, fiddle with your iPod, or talk on the phone while driving. Put your safety first. Look at the traffic around you. Be observant and aware of your surroundings and you’ll easily avoid any accidents that come your way.
