It’s sort of crazy to think that, in this day and age, people still think seat belts aren’t worth the effort. Yet according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, it appears plenty of folks still refuse to buckle up, at least in the back seat.

Of the 1,172 respondents polled who have been in the back seat of a car in the last six months, 28 percent claimed that they don’t always buckle up, the IIHS reports. Only 9 percent of that group said they don’t always wear a seat belt in the front seat, which is better, but still a bit surprising.

The group least likely to buckle up in the back is adults between the age of 35 and 54. Only two-thirds of this group admitted to always using a rear seat belt. Women were more likely to buckle up than men, and college graduates across both sexes were also more likely to use the seat belt.

You might be screaming, “Why?!” in your head. Well, according to those who admitted to using rear seat belts less, a quarter responded that they believed the back seat was safer. The next most popular excuse was, believe it or not, ignorance. Either they forget to put it on or they simply don’t. 10 percent of respondents claimed the belt was too difficult to use, or they couldn’t find the belt or buckle.

Nearly 40 percent of rear-seat-belt-ignoring respondents claimed they don’t buckle up because there isn’t a law against it. Strangely enough, only 60 percent of that group said they would buckle up if there was such a law in their state.

“People who don’t use safety belts might think their neglect won’t hurt anyone else. That’s not the case,” said Jessica Jermakian, an IIHS research engineer, in a statement. “In the rear seat a lap/shoulder belt is the primary means of protection in a frontal crash. Without it, bodies can hit hard surfaces or other people at full speed, leading to serious injuries.”

Enjoy that Porsche boxer growl or Mercedes-AMG V-8 roar while you still can. Reuters reports that automotive parts supplier Continental predicts that German manufacturers will cease development of new internal combustion engine designs sooner rather than later, perhaps as early as 2023.

Munich, Germany—home of BMW—is considering banning diesel engines. First France, then Britain recently announced plans to ban both gas and diesel powered cars by 2040. But Continental’s finance chief Wolfgang Schaefer told Reuters, “A new generation of combustion engines will again be developed but after that (around 2023), a further development will no longer be economically justifiable because more and more work will switch into electric mobility.” Continental makes regulators for exhaust gas cleaning systems in diesel cars and nitrogen oxide sensors, devices that would no longer be needed in this predicted shift away from fossil fuels.

This doesn’t mean the end of the internal combustion engine—not yet, anyway. Schaefer’s prediction only means that manufacturers would stop developing new engines, not producing them. Engine designs can linger on for years, such as the Jeep/AMC straight-six that lasted from 1964 through 2006. But the writing does appear to be on the wall for traditional suck-squeeze-bang-blow power plants.

The aftermath of Volkswagen’s diesel emissions scandal has revealed that other manufacturers haven’t been entirely honest about their testing as well. Battery and power management technology continues to improve the range of electric cars, making them viable options for more and more people. Electric cars for the masses, such as the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3, have started to arrive, with others to follow. Plus, the development of electric and self-driving cars takes a great deal of money and resources, which could be diverted from internal combustion engine development if manufacturers foresee a greater benefit from that application. Porsche is already considering dropping diesel for that very reason, and Audi is also looking to shift billions in funding toward electric cars.

Six years does seem to be a fairly aggressive timeline to end new engine development. But if the automotive industry is accelerating its development process to match the speed of technology companies, perhaps this prediction isn’t so far fetched after all.

The new fashion rubber suede shoe is a unique footwear in style and design. It is a rubber shoe stylishly coated with suede material that gives it a touch of elegance. Its loafers design makes it fit perfectly for both corporate and casual wears. It comes in three colours: black, red and blue. The colour varieties enhance your choice of the shoe type to match with your outfit for any occasion. The shoe is water resistant; hence it is very ideal for raining season. The fascinating thing about the suede shoe is that it is very affordable. Virtually everybody can afford it considering this austere period of economic recession in Nigeria

THE MARKET POTENTIAL FOR THE RUBBER SUEDE SHOES IN NIGERIA
The market potential for foot wears generally in Nigeria is huge. Foot wears are basic fashion necessities- people must wear shoes. Rarely do you see people going about barefooted. Shoes are fashionable ( news design makes old design obsolete) and they are also subject to wears and tears. What this mean is that people must buy shoes from time to time. And when you now consider Nigeria’s population of about 170 million people, then you would know that this business is indeed a money spinner,
A TESTIMONY OF FINANCIAL TRANSFORMATION
Let me quickly share with you a story of financial transformation of one of our customers –Chuks. He lives in Onitsha –Anambra State. Precisely last year June, he stumbled on our website, saw the rubber suede shoe opportunity and started with just a carton of N30,000. Then, he had just finished his university education, waiting for NYSC call up letter. And to keep himself busy he ventured into the shoe business. According to him he started selling the shoes to family members and friends and within one week he sold out a full carton of the men shoe, making a whopping profit of almost N30,000. That motivated him to get committed to the business, and in no time he got some boutique owners and shoe dealers who could order in bulk from him. Today, Chuks buys over 200 cartons monthly, raking in about N3 million monthly profit, Chuks’ story of dramatic financial transformation is one of the numerous life-changing impact the suede shoes business has made in the life of many of our other customers- over 500

HOW TO MAKE N400,000 MONTHLY INCOME SELLINGTHE RUBBER SUEDE SHOE AS A RESELLER

Wow! This is simply fantastic. This business can dramatically change your financial status forever.
SOME MARKETING TIPS TO HELP YOU MAKE GOOD MONEY FROM THIS BUSINESS AS A RESELLER
1. Identify a busy location along a major road in your area, preferably close to the market place where many people pass through, spread your shoes on the ground, get your bell and call people’s attention to BUY THE SUEDE SHOES @ N2000/PAIR. In no time people will gather around you and you can sell between 50-100pair is a day. (this aggressive method is meant for people who are not PROUD of their businesses having a sense of DIGNITY OF LABOUR. My brother if you are ashamed, to ‘hawk’ hunger go kill you ooo)
2. Sell your product online: sell on KONGA, JUMIA, DEALDEY. Sell on free classified websites: Jiji.com ng, etc. promote it using facebook, twitters,instagram, youtube whatsapp
3. Print flyers/handbills to promote the product. Distribute the flyers aggressively to people in offices, homes and shopping malls
HOW TO MAKE N3MILLION MONTHLY INCOME SELLING THE RUBBER SUEDE SHOES AS A BULK BUYER
As a bulk buy you could:
1. sell in cartons to shoe dealers and boutique owners & other petty resellers
You buy a carton of the men suede shoes @ N30,000 and resell @ N45,000 making a profit margin/carton of N15,000
( the unit carton price you buy is N1000/pair and you sell N1500/pair)
If you sell 200 cartons in a month, you would make 200 x N15,000 = N3million
You buy a carton of the female suede shoes @ N42,000 and resell @ N60,000 making a profit margin/carton of N18,000
( the unit carton price you buy is N700/pair and you sell @ N1000/pair)
If you sell 200 cartons in a month, you would make 200 x N18,000 = N3.6 million
2. Recruit sales people who would go out to sell to people in their homes and offices. This strategy is aggressive and can generate quick sales. The more sales persons you have the more profit you would make. You can share your profit margin of N1000/pair( men suede) or N800 (female suede) with them. You give them a commission of N500( men suede) or N400( female suede) on each shoe they sell
You buy the men suede shoes@ N1000, give marketers @ N1500, while they sell @ N2000
You buy the female suede shoes@ N700, give marketers @ N1100, while they sell @ N1500
If you have 10 marketers that sell 20 pairs every day, then you could sell 200 pairs in a day. ( get your sales persons to sell in market locations or along busy roads)
If your profit/pair is N500, then you would make 200 x N500 =N100,000 daily
Weekly profit (6x 100,000) = N600,000
Monthly profit (4X N600,000) = N2,400,000 ( Two million four hundred thousand naira only)
