chosen04:You still aren't making any iota of sense. This is a highly sensitive case, individuals involved might be facing charges of treason, you really don't expect security operatives to give out full details of such investigations. . . |

Crumple zones Modern cars protect drivers and passengers in frontal, rear and offset crashes by using crumple zones to absorb crash energy. This means that the car absorbs the impact of the crash, not the driver or passengers. Strong occupant compartment The cabin of the car should keep its shape in frontal crashes to protect the driver and passenger’s space. The steering column, dashboard, roof pillars, pedals and floor panels should not be pushed excessively inwards, where they are more likely to injure drivers and passengers. Doors should remain closed during a crash and should be able to be opened afterwards to assist in quick rescue, while strong roof pillars can provide extra protection in rollover crashes. Side impact protection Increased side door strength, internal padding and better seats can improve protection in side impact crashes. Most new cars have side intrusion beams or other protection within the door structure. Some cars also have padding on the inside door panels. Increasingly, car manufacturers are installing side airbags that provide protection from severe injury. Head-protecting side airbags, such as curtain airbags, are a more recent development and are highly effective in side impact and rollover crashes. Seat belts A properly worn seat belt provides good protection but does not always prevent injuries. Three point lap/sash seat belts offer superior protection to two point seat belts and should be installed in all seating positions. Recent improvements to seat belt effectiveness include: webbing clamps that stops more seat belt reeling out as it tightens on the spool pretensioners that pull the seat belt tight before the occupant starts to move load limiters that manage the forces applied to the body in a crash seat belt warning systems to remind you if seat belts have not been fastened. Airbags Australian airbags are designed to supplement the protection provided by seat belts - they are not a substitute. The best protection in frontal crashes is achieved using a properly worn seat belt in combination with an airbag. Head rests Head rests are important safety features and should be fitted to all seats - front and back. Head rest position is critical for preventing whiplash in rear impact crashes. Whiplash is caused by the head extending backward from the torso in the initial stage of rear impact, then being thrown forward. To prevent whiplash the head rest should be at least as high as the head's centre of gravity (eye level and higher) and as close to the back of the head as possible. |
Electronic Stability Control ESC A question you must always ask before buying that choice car---"Does it have ESC" Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps drivers to avoid crashes by reducing the danger of skidding, or losing control as a result of over-steering. ESC becomes active when a driver loses control of their car. It uses computer controlled technology to apply individual brakes and help bring the car safely, back on track, without the danger of fish-tailing. Australian research shows that ESC reduces the risk of: Single car crashes by 25% Single 4WD crashes by 51% Single car crashes in which the driver was injured by 28% Single 4WD crashes in which the driver was injured by 66%* No other active safety device has such potential to reduce single car crashes How does it work? ESC works by using a number of intelligent sensors that detect any loss of control and automatically apply the brake to the relevant wheel, putting your car back on the intended path. ESC is of assistance to the driver in: ***correcting impending oversteering or understeering; ***stabilising the car during sudden evasive manoeuvres; ***enhancing handling on gravel patches, such as road shoulders; and ***improving traction on slippery or icy roads. Not all ESC systems are identical. The hardware is similar, but there are variations in how ESC systems are programmed to respond once loss of control is detected. Naturally, the degree of effectiveness of ESC is dependent upon the amount of traction between the road and the car. Therefore on a car with old, worn or inappropriate tyres (eg: non winter tyres on ice and snow), ESC will be less effective than on a car with new tyres or tyres specific to a road environmental condition. |
Car Size and Colour Larger sized cars provide better protection in a crash than small cars, passenger vans and sports cars. In crashes with smaller cars, the people travelling in newer, larger cars tend to be better protected. Broadly, car size groups are classified as: Light cars: generally less than 1,100kg and an engine capacity of 1.5 litres or less Small cars: generally 1,100-1,300kg Medium cars: generally 1,300-1,500kg Large cars: generally more than 1,500kg. A minimum weight of around 1,300kg is recommended. If you’re buying a smaller car, consider safety options such as airbags and models that have the best proven safety performance ratings. Remember, whichever rating system you use, ANCAP or UCSR, the more stars the better! 4WDs When buying a 4WD be aware that it will handle differently to a passenger car. The higher seating position provides better vision for the driver, but the higher centre of gravity relative to the wheel base can affect car handling in certain circumstances. 4WDs are more likely to be involved in roll over crashes, which are a major cause of spinal injury. Typically these crashes involve a single car leaving the road on a straight section or curve and rolling over. Look for anti-rolling design, electronic stability control (ESC), curtain airbags, side impact airbags, strong roof support pillars and other valuable crash prevention and injury reduction features in your 4WD. Colour White is the safest car colour when it comes to being visible and safe on the road, according to a Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) study. The study demonstrated that white cars had the lowest crash risk in all types of light conditions, while black cars were more likely to be involved in a crash, particularly in daylight hours. |
New Car Vs Old Car Purchasing a new car gives you access to the latest safety technologies available. Analysis of crashworthiness by year of car manufacture carried out under the Used Car Safety Ratings (UCSR) program shows newer cars are on average safer than older ones. Furthermore, if safety features are optional, purchasing a car new allows these optional features to be fitted to the car. Most critical safety features such as airbags and ESC can only be fitted to the car at time of manufacture. However, purchasing a used car often saves many thousands of dollars over purchasing the same car new. This allows you to buy a larger car or a car with better safety features than you may have been able to afford otherwise. The UCSR has identified that larger cars and cars with more safety features generally provide better real world occupant protection in a crash than smaller cars with less safety features. It is often the case that an older second hand large or luxury car will provide better crash protection than a new small car with few safety features, for around the same money. Unfortunately, optional safety equipment is often not requested on new car purchases which means finding some critical safety features in a used car can be more difficult and require more effort by you.

i suggest you change your title to "this is how dumb i get when i take the wrong pills" |
^^^^ I ve got this. . .want some? ![]() |
Shut up and do the dishes jor.lmao, . . wicked! I was an ugly babyi tot so too |

tkb417: , abeg no kill me jare |
What is wrong in sweeping his own house?sorry mate, count me out! |
i bet he sweeps and mops too |
Ribadu has since lost credibility over his recent attempts to vindicate Tinunbu and any other díck willing to throw some cash for his campaign. If anything, it shows the kind of leader he'd be, a type that Nigerians pray to never have again! |
heheheheehe but seriously, kini big deal? ![]() |
I'm personally tired of mofos who feel it's necessary to administer some kinda "tests" on their girlfriend/boyfriends before she/he could earn their trust! Listen to me children, the fact she/he failed your test doesn't make her less trustworthy, and the fact that she/he passed your test doesn't make her trustworthy, some things are more attributable to chance and are not a good yardstick to measure character |
awesome! violent wedding. . . simply awesome ![]() |
^^ fair enough! |
@ Siena the only way you should be having a conversation with this lad, is him behind iron bars and his hands in cuffs! |
let him go to jail in the UK, that way, he wouldn't be looking at 6 months! |
LouisThoru:And you don't believe em simply by looking at their website?. . .you must be a Nigerian police officer, i can't think of anyone else that can come to that kind of conclusion. and for your information, i know a couple of investment houses here in the UK with Assets under management in hundreds of millions of pounds and their effing website is still under construction. . .whatever happened to "don't judge a book by its cover"? Iwu was a better Choice, he would have worked on his Mistakes and bring better results, but trust me, Most Nigerians are too Dumb to believe everything presented to them by the Government, Jega's Failure would be nothing Nigerians have ever seen, so much expectation, So much Flop. . .hehehe. . .i laugh in Iwuish!. . you think think this is a fúcking poker game?. . . the man had ample time to work on "his mistakes", he simply ignored em, the results?. . .we keep having looters as senators and governors, and you, sir, are preaching Nigerians are too dumb to say a big fat NO to that? . . .and before you throw rocks at me, I'm not an advocate of Jega, if the dude is found culpable and incapable as well, i recommend he should be hanged by the ballz! |
Isn't it ironical that this same dude set up a commission to investigate corruption in Nigerian football about 2 years ago?. . . . The Nigeria Sports Commission (NSC) has set up an six-man inquiry team to investigate allegations of corruption in the local league.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/7485258.stm like our elders say. . .one day na one day, monkey go go market go steal pineapple. . I wouldn't be surprised if he only gets a 6 month jail term after claiming asthma and bronchitis |
^^^ Exactly my point!. . .the dude uploaded a video and just about every Tim, Tam and Tum with an access to a keyboard thinks its cool to hurl the dude some cold disparaging remarks. . . . and why is no one addressing the issues raised in the videos by those poor Nigerians who in the mood of celebrations got flogged by security operatives simply because they got too excited about the Presidential convoy and his presence? in that guy's words. . . "just because we wan watch wetin dem dey do, dem beat us, are we not a Nigerian citizen as well?" |
"small" 2 billion! ![]() you gotta love Nigerians! |
i don get it, why's everyone directing verbal rocks towards the OP. . .i dnt think he did anything wrong simply by putting up a video! |
With your command of English, your teacher couldn't have been truthfulhehe. . i was going to point tht out, but then tot, hey!, who gives a shít?. . did our teachers really[b] lied[/b] |
tkb417:I know, right?. . . i just couldn't bring myself to understand how kidnappers could engage JTFs in a shoot out, isn't it much easier to jump off a bridge?. . . I'm just really bothered about how the JTFs decide who and who's not guilty or was it just based on feelings? and by the way, even if you don't travel to Aba, i've got boys on ground ready to make you disappear, to save yourself of this stress, just send 25 million naira only to the bank account i'd send to your mail. |
@OP no worries, we are still the leaders of tomoro |
[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=532043.msg6944029#msg6944029 date=1287130620]How are Nd militants better than Boko Harams ?[/quote]I'd tell you how Nd militants are fighting for more schools, better roads, cleaner environment, and modern infrastructures and the government owes each and every Nigerian the same especially considering the fact that the region provides more than 80 percent of the country's revenue. Boko Haram on the other hand is fighting for less schools {if possible none}, a reduced industrial and social life {in the process spread filth everywhere}, and a wild establishment of islamic schools that ensures kids are brainwashed and trained to become terrorists. Nd Millitants fight by sabotaging government properties and oil infrastructures to ensure the government feel direct effect of the loss. Boko Haram fight by maiming, mutilating, despoiling, and brutal killing of living things of all kinds. We had reports of kids being smoked out of their homes at night while they slept only to be axed down in their prime. I'd say, anyone sympathetic to the Boko Haram cause should be hanged and their dead body burnt |
A soldier, a Judge and the executioner----all in one!----pathetic! In as much as i condemn the recent shocking waves and kidnapping cases which had been the bane of Abia for a while, killing 172 people without any form of trial is not justifiable. What baffles me most is that my countrymen would rather close an eye to what they perceive an acceptable evil to fix another evil, no one seem to be asking questions, why kill 172 civilians?. . . How do we know more than half of them aren't innocent?. . . what right does a soldier have to take away a Nigerian's right to live based on mere feeling of who's guilty and who's not? why do we have the courts? |
