Oregon bans smoking in cars with kids
eric roberts's insight:
Scotland are near a ban on smoking in cars This is a very important step to take, to stop car drivers and occupants from smoking in cars with children present will cut the risk to children from inhaling second hand smoke. I must admit that many of our customers now have smoke free cars many displaying the sign above, but it should be outlawed, the same as many other countries in the World and the lives of the other passengers and children will be saved.

At least eight children have died this spring, mostly under the age of 2, because they have been left or trapped inside hot cars. This news, released by the (RT @parentsmagazine: 8 kids have died in hot cars so far this spring.
eric roberts's insight:
Kids can die in cars Hi this is news to me ,but i suppose when you think about it ,we must be very careful NOT TO leave our kids in the car, the fact that they are left alone, while the parent "just nips into the store",is no excuse, you should always take them with you all the time, or you could end up with a worst scenario possible. As aparent i would not be able to face such a thing happening to my children, it only takes one mistake, please read this article, and take the good advice. Eric Roberts Delete the scoop?

Filed under: Hybrid, Lexus, Toyota, Europe/EU
eric roberts's insight:
This day had to come for Hybrid cars I think that this day just had to come. The thing is that this is only the figures for Toyota, it does not relate to the total number of hybrid cars compared to diesel models. The number of people buying Toyota cars are in my opinion in the upper class better off people, who can afford to buy these highly priced cars in the first place whether they are hybrids or diesels. Toyota cars have a good reputation for reliability here in the UK but I wonder what will happen when it comes to the second market, will people with a limited budget buy these hybrid cars knowing about the expensive battery problems and lack of travelling distance before a re-charge.

BMW-is this yet another car maker using the same system as Toyota ? Hi its just my opinion but is this the same way of getting to know where and who own these particular BMWs, to enable them to contact the car owners and send out say things like special offers and money off coupons. This is also been done by Toyota, call me sceptical but this does really make you wonder if this is the real reasoning behind the recall.

Although i admit that this post has nothing much to do with cars, i think i might get some publicity over the Christmas period. my daughter Lydia is mad about this latest boy band and although i am not so sure, i think that they will become big stars of the future (if they are not there already). This post is in my stars and cars section, and the only cars mention is for a present to be bought for group member Louis, who would like a new Lamborghini as a Christmas present,(who wouldnt).

DOE: Only $1.14 a gallon to fuel your electric car
eric roberts's insight:
Fuel for your electric car-costs worked out. This is good news if you are the owner of an EV car such as the Nissan Leaf EV car. The article converts the price of electricity into an equivelent comparison to a gallon of fuel, and at the moment the electricity is half the price of the petrol (gas). In my opinion though ,it will not take long before the Governments catch onto this and start taxing the electricity based on these figures. Here in the UK we pay a green tax on our electricty bills, so you could say that this is already happening here, also the electricity used is DIRTY electricity powered by coal fired out of date power stations.

eric roberts's insight:
Tax on wheels ? here we go again ? the British government scratching about trying to make up the giant deficit left by the last labour administration. In my opinion the lot of them(the MPs) are completely useless and devoid of any ideas, but they are always coming up with ways of robbing the poor car owners such as this "poll tax on wheels" idea, they do not realise how we are all getting sick and fed up about these petty ideas of trying to get rid of our giant deficit, and with these stupid ideas will surely fail, they should get a grip and come into the real world, stop trying to attack us motorists.

Mechanics tell drivers to use fox urine to deter the influx of pest rabbits who are causing thousands of dollars in damage.
eric roberts's insight:
Cars attacked by rabbits ? I dont know about rabbits attacking cars but it sure brings home the fact that almost all our airports here in the UK are home to thousands of wild rabbits. The shrubs and flower beds are a haven to rabbits, with an all year round supply of food in the form of the grass verges, they are a part of every day life on almost all our airports. The rabbits are not worried by the vast amount of cars and buses that make up our modern airports, not to mention the noise from the planes, landing and taking off. In my opinion this is a nice site for travellers going from and to the airport, rabbits are not a common site anymore on our roads and it is a nice site to see for the kids and also a source of food for our birds of prey...Eric Roberts...www.pellonautocentre.com/blog Delete the scoop?

An animal cruelty investigation is underway in Ireland after dozens of puppies were seized from two cars in Dublin.
eric roberts's insight:
I am afraid that Ireland is getting a bad reputation regarding the use and abuse of puppy farms. These pups were found in the back of a car and were probably heading for the pet trade. This takes me back to what used to happen here in the UK. I went to buy a Samoyed pup for my wifes birthday, When i arrived at a farm in South Wales i could not believe my eyes, there was hundreds of breeds of puppies running all over the place in filthy conditions .I am saying that they ar like this but i was shocked at the bad conditions that these animals were kept in.
