Today this practice is lost in some way but still quite a few cars left abandoned on the street. Aid currently offered for the acquisition of new cars have been a good initiative that often very old cars do not end up abandoned or unusable on the street.

It is well known to buy a new car is not easy at times by the economic situation that we are going through at the time, or simply terminate a vehicle can also mean an expense which can not meet the accumulation of other unexpected expenses. However, you ought to keep in mind that the fact of leaving a car on the road today is punished very severely.

Starting with the costs which must be addressed to the local municipality by the withdrawal because under the law of waste, consider these cars as solid waste, thus leaving it abandoned a matter of sanction which may range between 600 and 30,000 euros, and in some cases the penalty may be higher if the car pollutants produce environmental damage.

On the other hand, to proceed to remove an owner is identified in some cases it is very difficult because the car has no registration, you are trying to identify a notification of abandonment and all within a statutory period of time to proceed to remove the same. If after the legal time the owner does not answer, that is when requested by the municipal tow service to remove the vehicle and bring it to a shell, which will also stay for a statutory period before they finally take a scrapyard and the owner can claim. If during this process, the owner has not cooperated at all is when justice is turned on, as legal action will be taken which will face the owner of the vehicle.

Although the start date was scheduled for later, was the Commission itself who has launched this new general request for the eCall or better known as automatic emergency call , is necessarily implemented this system as standard by all manufacturers in vehicles from next year.


To this end, the very Commission has set a deadline which expires at the end of 2009 to the 27 member countries develop their own regulations in this regard. If it occurs, the Commission shall provide for the eCall is definitely standard equipment on the car homologated in Europe, lowering what is the cost of implementing this system.

And is secured by several studies, that if this system is implemented entirely in Europe can save up to 2,500 lives a year, while also in many cases can reduce the severity of the injury and thus health care costs even may also be lower.

Today there is a topic that is bigger and heavier vehicles are more advantages can make in general. However, you should know that this is not always the case if we stop to evaluate certain aspects such as security , consumption and emissions, without forgetting the benefits.


In fact the more weight you have the car must be very clear that the engine has to make more effort to move the car regardless of their power (although more power to more consumption) and the rule of three just their consumption increases. However, the signature itself Audi reveals some data really curious as to each of more than 100 kilos can make from 0.3 to 0.5 l / km and emissions of between 8 and 11 grams of CO2 per KM more impressive.

On the other hand, the weight of the vehicle is a factor because when you weigh more it will cost more to move. Seen this way, for every 100 kg of weight gain that has a car, usually to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h is usually lost between 0.7 and 1 second in this regard.

Although they are still waiting to be approved, and we know that these new radar could be operational at the latest by mid 2010.

This new speed control system is intended to measure the speed between two points, and force drivers to travel at the legal speed marked on the road for some road sections that may represent between 20 and 30 km.

Must know that the first to become operational at the moment are located in tunnels that have more traffic, and as shown is one of the places there is greater risk of traffic, for instance, in the Guadarrama on the A6 in Madrid .

Anyway, you should know that like the rest of the fixed cameras will also be marked. For the same reason, if you think that you have ever exceeded the speed with which best to stop and take a meadita to time within that section will continue to count.

This is a commitment that the major automakers in the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea have agreed and they will cooperate in the dissemination in the market for fuel cell vehicles emit no pollutants and hydrogen-powered .

The truth is that many firms that have joined this initiative because starting with the one leading the German Daimler , other firms such as Renault-Nissan, Honda , Toyota , Hyundai , KIA , Ford , General Motors Group and its subsidiary Opel will make it possible for a quantity production a reality soon.

All these firms are already planning to launch several thousand units of these cars until 2015, and from there begin production on the height of several hundreds of thousands of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. So far, this inicitiva say suffered a delay because the manufacture of such vehicles at a high cost involved to make this technology profitable.

Although there is commonplace that it is believed that this is so, you should know that is totally false. And we say that is false because they have the sufficient size and appropriate design produces a depressing effect on the ground the car does not mean that improves the drag.

While this drag force is measured in Cx , which provide the fins has a vertical component, we are nothing but an assessment of support that is named Cy . The larger, the better the aerodynamic grip that implements the wheel.

Anyway, we must make it clear that it is rare that a production car reaches a cash value, unless an exception as high speeds .

It appears that support for the purchase of vehicles are helping much to reduce the level of emissions in our country.

As you know, these aids are called 2000E Plan was launched in May this year and have reduced emissions since reaching four grams in 140 g / km in the month of October, we are talking nothing more and nothing less than 6.5 percent less than the same month last year.

Everything indicates that not too long a period of time, finally get to the limit that is set by the European Community for 2015 of 130 grams.
