Is there any relationship between your personality and the auto that you are driving? Many people believe that indeed there is a kind of relationship between our personalities and the vehicles that we often buy. There are number of factors that often specify types of cars that we buy; they are five folds:

Family Needs

It is clear that large families always look for large cars. This is important in order to accommodate all the family when travelling to anywhere. Of course, family members can rent a car at the day that they would like to travel. But this is not cost-effective. However, it is important to own a car that its seats can be folded to provide you with enough space. Safety should be put before all of what have been mentioned.

Work

Not so many people make use of their cars in terms of work. But if you are doing so, you need to a large auto that has enough power for carrying heavy loads. Toyota double or single cab cars can be labelled suitable in this case. Making use of your private auto in work can save you a lot of many.

Travelling & Luxury

No doubt that visiting exotic places require such kind of state-of-the-arts autos that always hits the spot! However, the kind of car that you have to accompany to your destination depends heavily on types of routes. Navigating rugged terrains require well-designed cars that are able to navigate these places efficiently.

Youngsters & Go-getters

Youngsters and go-getters always almost prefer state-of-the-art autos that suit their personality. Although buying such kind of autos may cause an arm and a leg, youngsters and go-getters rush to own one. What characterize these cars is that they are hatchbacks.

So far, Abu Dhabi suffered from peak traffic congestions which force motorists to spend much more time reaching their destination. This problem does not occur recently, but it existed many years ago. Although there were a lot of effort that has been exerted to overcome this problem, it still lingering up. In order to combat this issue a new navigation system has been launched in Abu Dhabi.

Importance of the Navigation System

Recently, drivers tried to a skilful way to get rid of tough traffic jams by using their mobile phones. However, this is not an ultimate solution, because motorists have to pay attention to the road as well as the screen of their phones. This divert of attention could result in dangerous or even fatal accidents. Moreover, concentrating simultaneously on two things, minimizes motorists’ road concentration level, especially in long destinations.

Pros of Abu Dhabi New Navigation System

What makes this new navigation system outstanding is that it is installed in the car itself. Therefore, drivers’ attention will not be distracted. This system informs motorists about less traffic congestion routes. It will also provide them with updated and verified information about ideal parking areas.

Cons of the New Navigation System

For this system to work appropriately, it must be connected to the internet. However, if drivers run out of internet service, they will not be able to use this navigation system. An interesting solution can be carried out by designing a navigation system that is capable of working off-line. Abu Dhabi’s Roads and Transportation Authority (RTA) can tax drivers for this service.
In conclusion, this navigation system will combat the problem of high traffic congestion. In addition, it will assist commuters to reach their destinations as quick as possible. Thanks to RTA in Abu Dhabi for this valuable service.

As the invention of cars become common around the world, most cities became full of autos. This resulted in a lot of traffic jam which requires a lot of traffic police to organize the movement of these cars. In the past traffic police have to work day and night at traffic crossing. However, J P Knight who worked at that time as an engineer for railways signalling thought about finding a good solution for this problem. Therefore, he invented these
Traffic signals in order to make roads safer and to reduce the number of traffic police on roads.

Advantages of Traffic Signals

There are a lot of advantages of obeying traffic signal: firstly, it helps in controlling speed. This is important because of the fact that speed often results in a lot of traffic accidents. For instance, if there are not traffic signal, reckless drivers will not slow down when there are some pedestrians crossing the road. In addition, traffic lights efficiently organize cars movement in crossing to avoid committing accidents.

Disadvantages of Traffic Signals

There is only one overt disadvantage of traffic signals. The allocated time for each line is controlled by the traffic lights. This means when the light is red, drivers have to stop even if there is no any car in the other lines. However, this is excessive delay can be controlled. There should be a traffic police in charge of each traffic light to change the sign swiftly accordingly. All in all, traffic lights are essential when it comes to road safety.

Do you feel bored of driving everyday commuting from home to work and so on? Do you consume most of your time driving in peak traffic jam and much of your work remains undone? Do you suffer from committing accidents from time to time? Then autonomous cars are here for you to get rid of all these problems. These driverless vehicles or in other words self-driving cars already starting to hit the roads of cities across UAE.
First of all, since many people have to do the daily routine of commuting from home to work, taking children to school every day…etc; they can live headache-free by assigning these routines to self-driving vehicles. The time, effort and concentration which are spent on roads can be saved and used efficiently instead on something beneficial, for instance, reading a book, completing backlogs, preparing tasks, etc. Not only this, but in term of safety on roads these modern vehicles are safer, since they are supported by a lot of sensors and cameras which both calculate the speed and the distance in a very accurate manner.
Secondly, you do not need to press the clutch, change the gear, press the accelerator meanwhile leaving the clutch gradually and doing the same in every gear change; this is a waste of physical effort and concentration. The well-designed system of these cars will do all these actions smoothly and harmoniously. What all you need is just to adjust the map to the place where you want to reach.
Finally, before starting the journey, the car often filters all roads to choose the ones that are not occupied. It is true that even in the case of manual driving the same can be done, but there is a risk of committing an accident, since the driver has to look at the map from time to time.
In conclusion, driverless vehicles can improve our life in many potential ways; being more environmentally friendly, time saving and safer to drivers and pedestrians alike. After all these, I do not think that you will be hesitant to try an autonomous vehicle.

The stability of oil price is essential because of the fact that it affects the economy of the world, as well as the U.S. In some countries, the price of commodities varies with accordance to the price of petrol and this is due to transportation costs. A recent estimate of petrol price around the world is approximately 1.10 U. S Dollar per liter according Global Petrol Prices. However, there are mainly two factors that affect oil price negatively or positively: oil production and taxes.

Firstly, countries which are ranked as top oil-producers are characterized by cheaper prices definitely, such as: The United States, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Canada, China, Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates. The more the country’s domestic gasoline production booms, the lower the price gets. What is surprising is that although Venezuela is not ranked as one of the top oil productive countries as previously stated, petrol is cheaper than water.
Secondly, in most countries, taxes are highly imposed on fuels which is not only used in transportation as mentioned so far, but it is used most importantly to power agricultural vehicles and machines. This in turn affects the commodities viciously. On the other hand, some environmentalists have a second thought, they believe that petrol should be taxed even higher, and this means there will be more efficient use of oil in order to minimize the danger of pollution that our environment and health is facing. Another vital and interesting point is that this high imposed taxation on fuel encourages carmakers to develop and sell low-carbon technologies. Moreover, it stimulates the share of public transport, walking, cycling and encouraging the use of electric-cars.
All in all, in order to avoid this futuristic dilemma, it sounds reasonable to design state-of-the-art electric autos, even if it is so costive. These will probably be the targeted kind of cars in U.A.E and around the world.
