In a word: wrong. Depending on the aftermarket improvements made to your vehicle, your car should run more efficiently and save you fuel, not consume up additional resources.

| Avtorentacar recommended article: What You Should Look For When Buying A Used Car What should you look for when buying a used car? There are a number of things you could look for to find out how abusive the former owner or owners were to the car. Take it from me, the salesman at the dealership probably is not looking out for your best interest. All he wants to do is make a sale! I know cars, and I know performance. I have seen the behind the scenes action that takes place at dealerships before a used car goes out on the lot. One major thing to remember when looking for a new car is pay attention to detail. Look for any scratches on the paint, on the dash board, upholstry and any other spot you car see. Look under the hood! Is there fresh paint that does not match other areas under the hood? |
FOUR “SPEED FACTS” THAT (AS OF 2005) HAVE BEEN PROVED TO BE TRUE
#1. Speeding was a factor in 30% of the fatal crashes in 2001.
#2. Excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to respond to unexpected road hazards, and increases the distance needed for braking. It also increases the severity of a crash.
#3. The economic cost of speeding to society exceeds 40 billion dollars a year.
#4. It has been determined that in 2002 speed, excessive land changing, following too close and running a red light were associated with 1/3rd of traffic crashes and 2/3rds of the fatal crashes.
WHAT ABOUT WEARING A SEAT BELT WHILE SPEEDING? The records indicate that speeders often don’t even wear seat belts, however, (if they do) that improves the chances of whomever is wearing them - - of a crash survival.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE EFFECT OF ABOLISHING THE NATIONAL SPEED LIMIT? Since Congress repealed the National Maximum Speed Limit in 1995, 44 states have raised their speed limits, but only some of them (and only those) on certain portions of their roads.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Results prove that crashes have increased in those states that raised their speed limits.
The Insurance Institute For Highway Safety reported a 20% increase in motor vehicle accident deaths in the 24 states that were foolish enough to raise their speed limits.
Deaths didn’t increase in those states where the speed limits were not raised.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines “Speeding” as, “Exceeding the posted speed limit or driving too fast for road conditions”.
For drivers involved in fatal crashes, young males are most likely to be speeding. Records show that the likelihood of a person involved in a speed related crash decreases as the driver’s age increase‘s. (In 2001, 36% of the male drivers, between the ages of 15 to 20, who were involved in fatal crashes, were speeding at the time).
The higher the speed, the greater the risk of serious injury or death in a crash. Increasing speed increases the severity of the crash. For example, a frontal impact at 35 MPH is one third more violent to the motor vehicle, the driver and/or passenger’s than at 30 MPH, - - only 5 MPH less!
IT’S CLEAR , T0 SAVE BOTH OURSELVES AND “OTHERS” (AND ALL TOO OFTEN THOSE WHOM WE LOVE) FROM TERRIBLE INJURIES (PLUS THE “DEATH” OF YOU, ME OR THEY) THAT WE MUST SLOW DOWN!
