From Roadside Cover To Mobile Phone Batteries: Staying Safe Following A Car Or Motorbike Breakdown

As the UK is in the midst of a particularly chilly spell of weather with cold fronts originating in Siberia leaving many regions with sub-zero temperatures, road users have been advised to prepare for dangerous driving conditions. Colder temperatures also put vehicles under increased strain, with breakdown recovery firms reporting every year that they receive the highest number of call-outs during winter months. No-one expects to suffer a mechanical failure or a flat tyre while out in their car or riding their motorcycle, but it is always wise to be prepared for the worst.
If you regularly drive or ride long distances, you really should have some form of car or Motorbike breakdown cover in case you suffer some kind of fault when you are miles from home or your destination. Even the most basic policy will entitle you to roadside assistance and a tow to a local garage if the issue cannot be resolved in timely fashion by the engineer called out to assist you. Pay a little more and the recovery vehicle will transport you and your car or motorcycle back to your home address or onwards to your destination. Those not covered in case of breakdown may find they have to pay hundreds of pounds to have their vehicle recovered, negating any saving made by not taking out a policy in the first place.
Even if you do have breakdown cover, waiting for assistance is still an issue during a cold winter. If you breakdown on the side of a motorway, exit your vehicle and wait on the embankment. Keep blankets and spare warm clothing in your car and if the weather forecast predicts especially low temperatures, bring a thermos flask of coffee, tea or hot chocolate with you. A stash of chocolate bars and crisps can prove useful if you have a long, cold wait ahead of you and always make sure your mobile phone battery is charged and will last for the entirety of your journey.
Before embarking on a journey, check the water, oil and screenwash levels of your vehicle and make sure that your tyres are sufficiently inflated. Keep an eye on your fuel level and stop to top it up if the dial is getting low. Remember; it is against the law to knowingly set off on the motorway if you know you do not have enough fuel to complete your journey. Work out where the service stations are located on your journey and if you must leave it till the last minute, stop as soon as your warning light comes on, if not before.
If you take every precaution you can before you set off, a breakdown should be nothing more than an inconvenience. Wrap up warm and good luck!

Circulating Business Aviation Dollars

Commentary: If I were to write a letter to President Obama reference the decimation his policies have had on business aviation and the aviation vendor industry it would be stated as below.
Dear President Obama:
While attending college I became fascinated with flying. My money earned while working in factory jobs paid for flight training and college to become a business aviation pilot. In a sense I assisted the aviation community by circulating dollars so I may prosper and the industry may grow.
Eventually I married, had three children and raised my family successfully all due to having a life time career in aviation as a business aviation pilot.
Within aviation one must flight train, spend time in hotels while on business, purchase fuel for aircraft and other expenditures that add to the survival of the aviation vendor support industry. During my aviation career, to flight train and remain current, I spent over three hundred (300) nights in the same hotel at one training facility location throughout my career. This does not include the other one hundred fifty (150) nights each year I was away from family for employer work related business.
Govt aviation contracts when sent to Mexico, Brazil, China and other countries diminish my forty years of surviving the ups and downs of my aviation career. You are taking away food and purchase power from a skilled work force. You are circulating our aviation dollars to other countries. You are driving a stake into the hearts and souls of those who are proud Americans. Those who have sacrificed time away from family, strive to reach professional excellence and came out on the other end of life feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. Your verbal and business aviation policy attacks have negated the successes business aviation has worked hard to achieve.
Aircraft manufacturers use vendors to build aircraft for final assembly. This means jobs and families survive and prosper at these vendor locations.
With your admonishment of business aviation, taxation policies, demagoguery of flying business jets, your non support of attending Las Vegas conventions and along with business aviation expenditures you dislike is not supporting our economy. Now you ask my industry to pay for government budget miss management, government over spending, government FAA regulatory intrusion and a special $100 flight tax is unacceptable to everyday workers both skilled and unskilled.
Our standard of living is reduced at each anti aviation statement made and our buying power is being reduced. Mr. President those of us in business aviation are hurting and our families are hurting.
The 8.5% unemployment rate your administration states is fictitious and your administration knows this. You have not counted those who's benefits have expired, self-employed persons not working, contract workers, freelance pilots, independent business owners who's customers have vanished.
The aviation industry was founded in America. It is part of Americas fiber. The industry is not asking for GM bailouts, pension saving government gimmicks. The administration now admits taxpayers will lose $14 billion in the auto bailout. The aviation industry does not require a government bailout. Simply put, the aviation industry is asking you to support the spirit and dreams of men and woman that made this industry great through hard and smart work. We desire our jobs to return.
