<p>How to achieve good vision  while driving during a heavy downpour.  We are not  sure why it is so effective;  just try this method  when it rains heavily. This method was told by  a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed  it. It is useful&#8230;even driving at night.  Most of the  motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED. Of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the  visibility in front of the windshield is still  bad&#8230;&#8230; In the event you face such a  situation, just put on your SUN GLASSES  (any model  will do), and miracle! All of a  sudden, your visibility in front of your  windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no  rain. Make sure you always have a pair of SUN  GLASSES in your car. You are not  only helping yourself to drive safely with good  vision, but also might save your friend&#8217;s life by  giving him this idea..</p>
<p>Try it yourself and  share it with your friends!???<br />
Amazing, you  still see the drops on the windshield, but not the  sheet of rain falling.? You can see where the  rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate  the &#8220;blindness&#8221; from passing cars. Or the &#8220;kickup&#8221;  if you are following a car in the rain. They ought to  teach this little tip in driver&#8217;s training.. It  really does work.</p>
<p>This is a good warning.  I wonder how many people knew about this.</p>
</div>
<div>Another good  tip:<br />
A 36 year old  female had an accident several weeks ago. She was  traveling between Gladewater &amp; Kilgore. It was  raining, though not excessively and her car  suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew  through the air. She was not seriously injured but  very stunned at the sudden occurrence! When she  explained to the highway patrolman what had  happened.<br />
He told her something that every  driver should know &#8211; NEVER DRIVE IN  THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON  . She thought  she was being cautious by setting the cruise  control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in  the rain..<br />
But the highway patrolman told her  that if the cruise control is on, your car will  begin to hydro-plane when the tires lose contact  with the pavement, and your car will accelerate to  a higher rate of speed making you take off like an  airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly  what had occurred. The patrolman said this  warning should be listed, on the driver&#8217;s&#8217;  seat sun-visor &#8211; NEVER USETHE  CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with  the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set  the cruise control and drive a safe speed &#8211; but we  don&#8217;t tell them to use the cruise control only  when the pavement is dry.</p>
<p>The only person  the accident victim found, who knew this (besides  the patrolman), was a man who had a similar  accident, totaled his car and sustained severe  injuries.</p>
<p>NOTE: Some vehicles (like the  Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to  set the cruise control when the windshield wipers  are on.</p>

<p>The cost of fuel and the damage it brings to our environment has become very rampant, and because of that, hybrid cars are presently considered as very beneficial to the preservation of the environment. The reason behind this is that hybrid cars do not depend mainly on fuel for it to have power, but it also makes use of electricity that results to a smaller amount of fuel consumption and less emitted air pollution.</p>
<p>A hybrid car combines an electric motor and gasoline engine  to provide sufficient power to the vehicle with least fuel usage and fewer emissions. They are also far more fuel-efficient than purely gas-powered cars, and far more practical for everyday use than purely electric-powered cars. Combining the two sources of power, a vehicle then is created that is relatively non-polluting and will lead to less fuel consumption which means it possesses enough power to have freeway speeds that does not need too much fuel, it is also great for the stop and go driving in traffic laden areas.</p>
<p>The hybrid car was created due to the result of the demand and clamor to clean the environment from pollutions and for the need to rely less on fuel. To be able to recharge, plugging the hybrid  into an electric outlet is not necessary.They charge themselves by means of power usually lost during coasting and braking and can also be charged by the car’s gasoline engine.</p>
<p>It can offer more benefits than the usual regular gasoline engine type cars. Here is a list of the many advantages hybrid cars offers.</p>
<p>1. Pollution is less promoted</p>
<p>It is a fact that the continuous damage to our ozone layer is due to the greenhouse effect, and one of the factor that contributes to its damage is pollution in the air, in which dangerous chemicals are transferred to the air, like carbon dioxide that are emitted by vehicles. The measure of carbon dioxide emitted by the hybrid vehicle is principally relative to the quantity of fuel it consumes; thus hybrid cars can absolutely be a contributing factor in lessening the advancement of global warming.</p>
<p>With the use of hybrid cars, fewer fuel is consumed because hybrid car do not totally use gas in order to operate, it also makes use of electricity, a power source that doesn&#8217;t bring any danger to the environment.</p>
<p>2. More mileage with less fuel consumption</p>
<p>The obvious advantage of hybrid car is that it saves on gas. With the use of hybrid cars, you are able to save gas money because you don’t need to buy gas after every long trip wherein you can go several miles consuming less fuel.</p>
<p>3. Hybrid cars can help lower your taxes</p>
<p>Tax rebates are given to hybrid cars buyers, so if you buy a hybrid car your tax refunds can be withheld from your taxes and will provide you with additional savings.</p>
<p>4. Your money gains more value</p>
<p>A hybrid car can retain a higher resale value. If you ever want to trade or sell a previously owned hybrid car you can be sure that you will get more of what you paid for it.</p>
<p>5. Efficiency and performance are what defines Hybrid Cars</p>
<p>Hybrid cars have smaller engines than the regular gasoline cars since the power is obtained form two sources, so the smaller engines are closer to the normal power necessity of engines that will give an efficient performance.</p>
<p>6. “Hybrid car technology” is the greatest solution to today’s increasing problem in car air pollution</p>
<p>Hybrid cars uses lesser fuel and a groundbreaking technology that may avoid possible damages to the environment caused by the usual cars</p>
<p>Despite of many uses and advantages, there is one thing to be considered regarding the hybrid cars, its actual price in the market is not yet that affordable to a lot of people, but it is an investment that will pay a hundred fold.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hybrid cars are considered to be the car of tomorrow. Because of the benefits it can give you, you will definitely want to get one for your own. In fact, more and more people are now considering selling their conventional car and purchase a hybrid car. So, why is it that more and more people prefer getting a hybrid car instead of a conventional car even if hybrid car retail prices are far more expensive?</p>
<p>The answer to this is that these people are thinking of the long term benefits that a hybrid car can give. With a hybrid car, you can cut fuel consumption in half compared to conventional cars. Hybrid cars will be able to give you maximum fuel efficiency. It will be able to give you far better mileage to the gallon. Just imagine, with a hybrid car, you can get more than 60 miles to the gallon of gasoline.</p>
<p>This is because hybrid cars run on two engines. One is the conventional internal combustion engine that you will find in conventional cars and the other is the electric motor and batteries. Hybrid cars are basically cars that combine electric energy and gasoline energy. By combining these two to power your car, it will run quieter, cleaner and far more efficient than conventional cars. These are the main advantages of hybrid cars.</p>
<p>Another advantage is that you will be able to save more money from tax breaks imposed by the US government to hybrid car users and buyers. If you own a hybrid car, you will be able to enjoy tax breaks. Also, you will be able to enjoy free parking and other incentives that the government imposed on hybrid car owners.</p>
<p>Now that you know about the main pros of the hybrid cars, you also need to know what the cons of hybrid cars are.</p>
<p>People have been purchasing hybrid cars because of the ability of saving a lot of money from fuel consumption. However, the main advantage of hybrid cars, which is the electric motor, is also its downfall. When a hybrid car is involved in an accident it will be difficult for you and the rescuers to get you out of the car because of the dangers of electrocution. Hybrid cars carry large amounts of voltage. When it gets involved in an accident, wires from the battery may tear off and will be potentially dangerous to handle.</p>
<p>Another disadvantage of hybrid cars is that the retail price is higher than conventional cars in the same weight class. However, the hybrid car can counter this disadvantage by allowing consumers to save money in a long term basis. When you look at it in a long term basis, hybrid cars tend to be cheaper than conventional cars. Try and compute the amount of gasoline both cars will consume during its lifetime and add it to the retail price of the car. You will see that the conventional car will tend to be more expensive than hybrid cars when you look at it in a long term basis.</p>
<p>These are the pros and cons of hybrid cars. You can see that it contains more advantages than disadvantages. Most hybrid cars today are now integrated with the latest technology in car safety. So, if you are planning to purchase a car, think hybrid.</p>
