It’s a common visual: A driver glances to the car that’s pulled up alongside it at a stoplight to find that driver with cell phone in hand typing a message on the keypad. Many drivers do not even wait until coming to a stop before texting -- they simply do so while keeping up with traffic, a danger that’s causing accidents on the coun-try’s roadways.
Texting is distracting drivers all across North America and beyond. Thirty states in the U.S. have made texting while driving illegal, but many peo-ple still continue to do it.
The U.S. Department of Trans-portation reports that nearly 6,000 people were killed on American roads in 2008 in ac-cidents caused by distracted drivers. Many of these driv-
ers were t e e n a g -ers, who may have b e e n t a l k i n g
or tex-t i n g on a
phone.
When a p e r s o n devotes attention to a cell p h o n e -- even
for a few seconds -- he or she can travel the distance of a football field without eyes on the road. What’s more, talk-ing or texting diverts a part of the brain that is needed to focus on driving. While indi-viduals are able to multi-task, they should limit the amount of distractions while driving because there is already an overload of stimuli command-
ing drivers’ attention.
Sixty percent of teens admit to texting while driving accord-ing to a 2009 survey. Overall, 26 percent of respondents admit-ted to doing it despite knowing it was dangerous. More than 80 percent of people believe DWT, or driving while texting, should be banned.
Studies conducted in virtual driving simulators have shown DWT to be deadly. People do-ing it change speeds rapidly for no reason, and they weave in and out of lanes. Additional research has indicated that using a cell phone in any mat-ter while driving is on par with driving drunk.
What these studies boil down to is that when behind the wheel of a car, drivers should simply stick to driving. Even searching for music files or eating a snack can reduce concentration on the road -- something that may end in ac-cidents.
“Motor City” may soon be re-named “Green City.” That’s due to the abundance of green automotive jobs that have been cropping up in Michigan, in and around Detroit. Based on a study conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council, the National Wild-life Federation and the Unit-ed Auto Workers, Michigan is home to more than 38,067 green automotive jobs at 97 facilities. Ohio is next in line, with a total 13,753 at 28 facili-ties.
Green automotive jobs are growing at a rate parallel with the interest in environmen-tally friendly vehicles. There are more than 150,000 green jobs in the automotive indus-try across the United States. Thank the increased desire for fuel-efficient vehicles for the change. Whether people are interested in fuel econ-omy because of its effect on the planet or because it saves them money, fuel-efficient ve-
hicles are becoming primary purchases.
According to CleanMPG.com, new and old fuel-efficient manufacturers are taking over segment leads in auto-motive sales races. The 2012 Hyundai Accent, boasting 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway, is now the most efficient con-ventional gasoline car sold in the U.S. With an affordable price tag between $12,445 and $16,445, the Accent is poised to become one of the more popu-lar vehicles for the 2012 model year.
Those looking for work in the growing realm of green auto-motive jobs may want to con-sider relocating to Michigan or Ohio, or these other states prized for their green car jobs: Indiana, North Carolina, Ken-tucky, Pennsylvania, Texas, Alabama, California, South Carolina, Tennessee, New York, Illinois, Virginia, and Arizona

To the negotiating masters of the world, a trip to a car dealership is something that may be anticipated or even enjoyed. On the flip side, many others loathe the thought of haggling over price and try-ing to weed through the fine print of a financing deal.
Whether you’re a negotiating novice or a dealing dynamo, there are certain dos and don’ts that should be heeded when sitting down to discuss your next car pur-chase at the dealership. Keeping these tactics in mind can save you money and perhaps a few headaches along the way.
Do keep some of your negotiating cards hidden. It’s unwise to walk into the deal-ership and immediately let the sales-person know your life story, including the exact amount you have to spend. You should be talking about the options and features you desire in the vehicle first and then let the salesperson bring up the topic of price. Mentioning a number means you take certain things out of the equation, such as how far a salesperson will deal, and per- haps the chances of walk- ing out of the dealership with a car that sold roughly a r o u n d invoice just be- cause they wanted it off the lot.
Don’t give a buying dead-line. Telling the salesper-son that you need a car
imme-d i a t e l y creates a sense of ur- gency and desperation. Y o u want to give off an
air that you can walk away from a deal at any time and that your pur-chase is not contingent on time or cost. Experts agree that the big-gest bargaining chip you have in the car-buying negotiation is that you may leave the deal and shop somewhere else.
Do see the bigger picture in price. Some buyers are so focused on monthly payment that they fail to see the bigger picture. You want to figure out
the maximum price you’re willing to pay for the vehicle over the long haul. Finance depart-ments are very good
at tweaking the math so that your monthly payment magically arises. But that number could be the re-sult of stretching out payments over a longer loan, which will end up costing you much more in interest. Work toward the end price, not the monthly payment when negotiating.
Don’t be blindsided by your credit rat-ing. Failure to know your credit report and score means you cannot effective-ly negotiate a deal. If the dealership discovers your rate before you do, the dealer has the upper hand. A poor score means a higher interest rate for buyers in most cases. Some will pass on a buyer with a poor score. It pays to know your score and any blips on your credit re-port prior to sitting down with a dealer-ship finance manager.
Do have an understanding of what you’re looking for if you’re shopping as a couple. Salespeople often work couples against each other. If the wife seems en-
thusiastic about one thing but the husband doesn’t, the salesper-son may play to the wife to sway the husband’s decision, and vice versa. This may remove room to
negotiate, especially if the cou-ple isn’t standing on the same playing field when it comes to the car, price and extras. You want to be viewed as a unified force.
Don’t talk about trade-ins until later. Let the
s a l e s - p e r s o n
come up w i t h a price for the car and then bring up the trade-in afterward. This asserts that
one deal is not contingent on the other. Oftentimes selling your old car on your own yields a better price than simply trading it in. That’s because dealerships do it as a convenience and know they have a small opportunity to turn a profit on trade-ins.
Be smart about how you present your-self at a car dealership as well as which information you share with the salesper-son.
Hitchhiking is a phenomenon that dates back decades, if not centuries. For ages people have been hitching rides with strangers when other transportation proves unavailable. But is it safe? It most cases it’s best to avoid hitchhiking, say experts.
Hitchhiking puts travelers at the mercy of others. One never knows who is be-hind the wheel of a car or truck. While it’s good to assume the best of others, the fact is that while there are many trust-worthy people on the country’s roads, many others are best avoided. And one can never tell on sight the difference be-tween a Good Samaritan or an ill-inten-tioned motorist.
Here are some of the other dangers to consider.
* The driver who picks you up may be drinking, driving without a license or a careless driver.
* Hitchhiking requires standing on the roadside. This puts you at risk for an ac-cident.
* You may end up stranded or in a de-serted area if the person providing the ride can’t take you to a final destina-tion.
* Hitchhiking can result in abuse, rob-bery, sexual assault, among other crimes, if the driver is a criminal.
* Spending long days outdoors can re-sult in heat exhaustion, hypothermia or other weather-related conditions.
* Hitchhiking is illegal in many areas.
For the driver ...The same safety concerns exist for driv-ers considering picking up hitchhikers. Certain bad people prey on others’ good nature and compassion for less-fortu-nate individuals. Criminals often pose as hitchhikers to gain access to poten-tial victims. Drivers should keep this in mind when they see a hitchhiker on the road.
If a person stranded on the roadside seems like he or she is in danger or needs assistance, it’s better to alert the authorities.
