A report made by New York Times found that dozens of people have been poisoned by carbon monoxide since 2006 after failing to turn off the ignition on their keyless cars. More exactly, 28 of them died and 45 others suffered injuries. More than half of the vehicles sold annually in the US now have keyless ignitions. The keyless ignition system consists of a device that is carried by the driver, allowing him to start the car with a press of a button linked to the fob. If the key fob is not detected the car will not start. However, if the car has been started it will continue to run ev...

New car registration figures for March reveal a sharp drop in sales. The number of sales is 15.7 percent lower compared to the same month last year. A big part of that fall is due to bumper sales in March 2017, as drivers flooded the dealers to beat the then-new road tax system. The old tax model based on carbon dioxide was favorable to diesel cars. That’s because diesel-powered cars emit lesser CO2 than their petrol counterparts. That explains in a way diesel’s decline, with a 37.2 percent fall in sales last month, compared to a fall of 23,5 percent in February.&nb...
After a car crash, some people may not have a clear enough head to do exactly what they need to do. They may forget to call or may wait too long. Some of them may be even unconscious or trapped inside the car. But starting April 1st, 2018, the drivers in Europe don't have to worry about these things anymore because all the new cars will have to be equipped with eCall, a technology through which the cars will call the police themselves. According to a law that was passed in 2015, all the automobile manufacturers will be required to equip their vehicles with eCall technology. It i...
