2005 Top Ten Worst Traffic Incidents

We are about to leave year 2005; in less than two weeks, we are to welcome another year full of surprises, good and new alike. Before we bid goodbye to this year, let us revisit events that happened this year, particularly the worst traffic incidents in 2005. This is not to scare you, but to remind you to drive safely so as not to repeat the same incidents.

Here’s the list from Metro Networks, a Westwood One company and the largest traffic gathering and reporting operation in America:

1. New York City - The biggest traffic incident of 2005 is currently underway in New York City. The Transit Workers Union, which represents employees of the city's public transit system (Metropolitan Transportation Authority), is on strike. The strike has crippled the city. Special traffic contingency plans include restrictions such as closed roads and a four- passenger in-car minimum. Many New Yorkers were forced to walk to work in Manhattan over various East River bridges, and those that were able to drive into the borough were met with extensive delays spanning the entire island. In addition, high volume sparked massive delays throughout the entire New York Metro area, including sections of New Jersey and Long Island.

2. Los Angeles - In January, the La Conchita mudslide in Ventura County dumped more than 400,000 tons of mud on the California community, flattening vehicles and causing massive devastation and roadway backups. To add insult to injury, the incident attracted curious motorists to the area, further exacerbating a tough situation. A stretch of US 101 was shut down for two days as a result.

3. Chicago - In early spring, the Southbound Tri-State Tollway (Interstate-294), the heaviest traveled interstate that connects Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, was shut down at the Lincoln Oasis. An accident involving a semitrailer that split open and burst into flames caused traffic to be rerouted and created some of the most extensive delays the area has seen in years.

4.Philadelphia - This past summer, torrential rains caused a mudslide and major flooding of the Schuykill Expressway (Interstate-76), a major two-lane artery, which connects the western suburbs to Center City Philadelphia. The Expressway runs between the Schuykill River and a mountainside, along which there are no exits. The storm caused mud from the mountain and the rising waters from the river to converge on the roadway, trapping motorists. Water rescues had to be performed and when the waters subsided, it took a full week to completely clear the lanes and shoulder from the deposited mud.

5. Boston - "The Big Dig" roadway construction project, now in its 19th year, continued to cause significant delays throughout the Boston area in 2005. The construction lead to regular closures of current surface routes in the heart of the city, as well as ramps to and from Interstate-93.

6. Dallas - A charter bus on Interstate 45 exploded into flames on September 23rd, killing 23 elderly passengers being evacuated from Houston due to Hurricane Rita. The incident caused a 17-mile backup on the Interstate south of Dallas, trapping thousands of people fleeing the hurricane. It was the worst bus accident in Texas since 1952.

7.Washington DC - Just before morning rush hour, on the day before Thanksgiving, a gasoline tanker caught fire and exploded while traveling southbound on Interstate-95 near the Capital Beltway in Maryland. The driver safely stopped the tanker and escaped before it exploded, but the busiest corridor on the East Coast was shut down for hours, the day before Thanksgiving, while that section of I-95 was dug up and repaved. Nine hours later the roadway was reopened to Holiday travelers.

8. Atlanta - Overpasses proved to be a major problem throughout Atlanta in 2005. Several suicides and suicide attempts created long delays on many major area roadways. The city has since erected chain link fences on many of the overpasses.

9. Detroit - In September, a collision on I-275 near Five Mile Road forced one car across the median and into on-coming traffic. The car was then struck by a tanker carrying tar, which spilled onto the highway forcing it to be closed for four days.

10. Miami - October 4th through 5th, the Seven Mile Bridge linking the Lower and Middle Florida Keys was closed to traffic for more than 16 hours after a gasoline-laden tractor-trailer truck jackknifed and collided with an SUV. The heat from the flames was so intense that it melted the aluminum tanker top. The Seven Mile Bridge is the only link between Key West and mainland U.S.

More Rivals for Toyota

When talking about hybrids, Toyota is never out of the conversation. Toyota leads hybrid category of the market with its top-selling hybrid cars and other hybrid vehicles. It was Toyota that first mass-produced a hybrid, the Toyota Prius, in 1997. In 2005, it launched its second hybrid, the Toyota Highlander, which is the world’s first seven-passenger hybrid sport utility vehicle.

With the two Toyota models, Toyota laid the foundation for the buying public’s acceptance of hybrids vehicles. Hence, other automakers that son made and marketed their own hybrid vehicles did not find it hard to permeate the auto market with their new models. Ford made the first hybrid SUV, the Ford Escape Hybrid. Honda, on the other hand, made the first gas-electric hybrid car to be sold in the United States, the Honda Insight.

Despite the growing popularity of hybrid cars in the United States, European opted to develop current diesel technology to provide more fuel efficient and lower emission means of transportation, instead of producing expensive hybrids. But not until the December when manufacturers such as BMW AG and DaimlerChrysler AG teamed up with General Motors and Audi with Volkswagen and Porsche to produce more hybrids.

BMW and DaimlerChrysler are to make two-mode hybrid drive for rear- and front-wheel-drive GM, Chrysler and Mercedes cars, trucks and other vehicles while Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche jointly concentrate in producing hybrid Sport Utilities.


Change is what keeps the automotive industry alive for so many centuries now and thus, changing their stand about hybrid isn’t a bad thing at all. It’s good that BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche for they have finally accepted the benefits of hybrid technology. Yes it is true that hybrids are far more expensive than other cars but come to think of it, if all car manufacturers would move to further develop this technology, sooner of later price of hybrids will go down.

Anyway, we’ll see in the next years how these Euro auto makers will fair in the hybrid auto market. Who knows they’re Toyota’s next biggest rivals in the years to come.

Volvo Goes for More Safety


There’s no stopping Volvo from being the safest, if not, one of the safest cars in the automotive world. Just last month, Frost & Sullivan awarded Volvo with the 2005 CEO Choice Award. The award is given to the vehicle make in America with the most useful safety features. Top corporate chief executives were surveyed and unanimously chose Volvo as the safest among other cars.

Yesterday, Volvo once again proved to the world their excellence in car safety by introducing its new Volvo Driver Alert System, which monitors the vehicle’s progress on the road, thereby, determining how the vehicle is being controlled. It alerts the driver when signs of fatigue and distraction are detected. Through this active safety feature in Volvo cars, drivers can prevent collisions early on.

According to the U.S National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about 100,000 collisions are due to drivers falling asleep. Out of that, 1,500 drivers die. Recognizing that driver fatigue results to great destruction and even loss of life, Volvo takes another bold move to devise a system that could help drivers make the right decision before the regrettable happens.

Volvo ensures the driver’s safety by programming it in such a way that the system would be activated in times when the risk of falling asleep is the greatest and where a collision would have severe consequences, according to a news source. The Driver Alert System is especially activated at above 40 mph until the speed goes down to 37 mph.

However, for those of you who are already looking for this safety feature in the current Volvo cars in the market, you might be disappointed because you still have to wait for two more years before it comes out.

For the meantime, you might want to check out Auto Parts Discount’s high quality auto parts for various makes and models.

Happy Holidays are coming—but hey, drive safely!

As expected all roads will be busy once again comes holiday season. There are those rushing to the mall for their last-minute shopping and to the grocery stores to buy food for their cocktail parties. Some are heading to family reunions and other special gatherings.

I’m pretty sure you’re looking forward to it as well. But before you get excited for the holiday season, keep in mind the importance of driving safely. And as much as possible, don’t drink and drive. If that ain’t possible, always remember: TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING IS BAD ENOUGH.

Road accidents are most likely to happen during this time of the year. Last year, the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported 16,694 alcohol-related fatalities across United States. This time, we have to be cautious to prevent the worse or the worst.

Here are common alcohol consumption myths and facts from 21st Century Insurance. Go and take a look, it won’t cost you anything but you can be saved knowing these:


1. Myth: As long as party-goers stick to beer and wine, instead of hard liquor, the intoxicating effects are minimized.

FACT: One 12 oz. can of beer, 5 oz. glass of wine or 12 oz. wine cooler contains the same amount of alcohol as 1 1/2 oz. of hard liquor.

2. Myth: Someone who has had too much to drink will show visible signs of intoxication.

FACT: Physical appearance can be misleading. Just one drink can impair one's ability to drive safely, because judgment and motor skills are the first things affected by alcohol consumption.

3. Myth: Drinking coffee sobers up someone who has had too much to drink.

FACT: Time is the only solution to intoxication. It takes approximately one hour to oxidize each drink consumed.

It would be better to prepare your vehicle long before the holidays commence. A regular check-up is essential to easily detect problems that could lead to fatal accidents. Should you need to replace some parts of the car, don’t think twice about replacing them.

Changing Lanes: Americans Choosing Smaller Cars over SUVs, Trucks

Smaller cars are fast becoming the preferred vehicles by new car buyers in the US. The continued slide in SUV and truck sales and the increase in smaller cars sales highlighted this current trend in the automotive industry. A recent Washington Post report noted that smaller cars have been outselling sport utility vehicles for many months now.

New trucks and SUVs sit longer on dealership lots while smaller cars like the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic are practically bought off the truck. Small car sales are lifting the Japanese automakers while Detroit’s Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. are having a hard time in terms of sale for their SUVs and Trucks which once were the industry’s cash cows.

This reversal of fortunes in the auto industry can be attributed to a handful of factors. Foremost among these is the continued increase in fuel prices. SUVs and Trucks are widely criticized for being gas-guzzlers and are becoming increasingly impractical considering the increase in gasoline prices.

Meanwhile, the best selling small cars are known for their fuel efficiency and excellent gas mileage. The hybrid gasoline-electric Toyota Prius leads the list of bestselling hybrid cars. The Corolla, one of Toyota’s smallest and most fuel-efficient passenger cars are continuously selling briskly while Honda is struggling to keep up with the escalating demand for its Civic.

However, this surge in interest on smaller cars has caught GM and Ford unprepared. They continued to invest on profit margins and poured money into the once-profitable SUV segment and neglected small cars. Although, because of this greater interest in smaller cars, the Ford Focus saw a 10 percent growth in sales last September.

New buyers of smaller cars and those who have switched from big, gas-guzzling SUVs and Trucks are hoping to cut some costs on their fuel consumption. Fuel efficiency can also be achieved by maintaining a healthy engine in good working condition. Keeping the engine as well as the other essential auto parts in good condition is the best way to maintain a car, small or otherwise.

Replacement auto parts are necessary when maintaining a car in good working condition. You should use only the best quality engine parts, exhaust parts, AC system parts and other important and indispensable parts for your vehicle. You can find top quality replacement parts, collision parts and auto body parts from
Auto Parts Discount, one of the best online suppliers of auto parts today.

DaimlerChrysler Launches F600 Hygenius Hybrid Vehicle at Tokyo Show

This latest innovation on fuel cell technology is another milestone in the mission to create environmentally-friendly and technologically advanced vehicles. The F600 offers a fuel cell power train with a maximum power output of 85 kW (115hp) and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The fuel cell is 40% more compact than previous research vehicles and runs more efficiently than ever generating a constant power output of 60 kW (82hp) and 250 Nm torque.

The F600 HYGENIUS concept is a compact-class car with a family-friendly design consumes the equivalent of 2.9 liters of fuel per 100 km.

Fuel cells use the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to generate electrical power in a process that produces no emissions. The drive system is hybrid and selects the best power source depending on the driving situation. For example, when parking, the electric motor uses power from the battery alone while when accelerating the fuel cell and battery provides power to the motor.

The F600 HYGENIUS concept abounds with numerous innovations in its technology, design, versatility, comfort and safety devices.

Inside, the F600 HYGENIUS offers a new level in comfort and versatility. Despite its compact size, the interiors are impressively spacious. Clever design solutions make the vehicle an excellent family-vehicle. It is equipped with child and family-friendly seats that incorporate new technology.

The concept vehicle is also equipped with a virtual display for fast vision adjustment. The two mirrors divert images from the high-resolution color displays in the dashboard to a point 1.40 meters in front of the driver. This technology improves driver-fitness since the driver does not have to constantly adjust between close and long range. All lighting functions are provided by high-power light emitting diodes. This concept vehicle from DaimlerChrysler points the way towards the future of automobiles. These innovative features that the concept/research vehicle showcases now will become ordinary amenities in the cars of the future.

New Innovation from Nissan to Eliminate Blind Spots

When driving, one of the most dreaded causes of accidents are the so-called blind spots. These are the areas of the road that cannot be seen while looking forward or through either the rear-view and side mirrors. Many accidents occur when a driver drives into another vehicle's blind spot. Because objects are not in the field of view, the likelihood of dangerous accidents such as collisions is high. Blind spots are especially hazardous around tall vehicles such as SUV’s and trucks.

The most common blind spot areas include the rear quarter blind spots or the area toward the rear of the vehicle on both sides. Vehicles in the adjacent lanes of the road may fall into these blind spots. Mirrors, especially if not properly aligned, might not do any good because a driver may be unable to see anything in the blind spot using mirrors. Other areas that are considered blind spots are those that are too low to see behind and in front of a vehicle. This is especially true in tall vehicles. In some cases, when side vision is hindered, the areas to the left or right can become blind spots as well.

However, blind spots may very well become a thing of the past. Japanese automaker
Nissan is in the process of developing a system that will eliminate blind spots from around the vehicle by providing a bird's eye view of the surrounding area displayed on a monitor. Cameras will be fitted at the front and rear as well as on both sides to take pictures of the surrounding road surface. These images are then synthesized by an image processor into one image projected on the central monitor. This system will be helpful especially when parking.

There is no confirmed release date yet for this advanced technology or what vehicle will first carry it. Although, it is speculated that Nissan's luxury arm Infiniti's future vehicles will be fitted with it. In the meantime, while we await the arrival of this new technology, we can eliminate blind spots on our own through the proper alignment of side mirrors and rear view mirrors. Installing a new mirror with a larger field of view is also one solution. Blind spots can also be eliminated through proper driving habits. Proper head-turns can be accomplished and still have a view of the road ahead as well as a peripheral vision of the side of the car.

Maintaining the good condition of the vehicle's mirrors is an important preventive measure to avoid accidents caused by blind spots. Rear view mirrors and side mirrors must be easily adjustable to conform to the necessary proper alignment. Defective and damaged mirrors are dangerous and must be replaced immediately. Replacement mirrors can be purchased from auto parts industry leaders such as
Auto Parts Discount to ensure quality, durability and affordable price. Auto Parts Discount also offers other important auto parts such as bumpers, headlights, windshields, tail lights and others.

Going Green with the Toyota Prius

Hybrid Technology is taking the automotive industry by storm and is about to change the way the industry operates. As global demand for eco-friendly cars soar, the top automakers are coming out with their own hybrid vehicles. Honda has led the way a few years back with the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle sold in the US, the Insight. But the one of the most successful hybrid vehicle’s to date is the Toyota Prius.


<Introduced in the late 90’s, the Prius has already won many accolades and awards including the North American Car of the Year award in 2004. Recently, the Prius scored another win as the 2005 European Car of the Year recipient. The Toyota Prius enjoys a gas mileage of 60/51 mpg City/Highway, rated by the EPA. It is powered by a combination of a gasoline and electric engine.


Without a doubt, the Toyota Prius is only the beginning of a new crop of environmentally-friendly automobiles that will come in the future. This early, Toyota’s head of Research and Development, Kazuo Okatmoto said that in 20-40 years all the automotive group’s cars will be hybrids. The Toyota Prius offers not only exceptional gas mileage and eco-friendliness; its performance is also at par with the best cars running on conventional engines.


Meanwhile, a car like the Toyota Prius ought to be treated well. Like all cars, careful maintenance is the key to prolonging the usefulness of the Toyota Prius. Every part of the Toyota Prius plays a very crucial role to its performance. If ever Prius owners will need replacement parts for their car, they can easily find high quality auto parts from the best auto parts suppliers such as Auto Parts Discount.

Maintaining the All-important Brake System

The brake system is one of the most important systems in any vehicle. Brakes are basically energy conversion devices transforming the kinetic energy (momentum) of your vehicle into thermal energy (heat). Whatever type of braking system you have, whether drum, disc or ABS (Anti-lock braking system), care and maintenance is very crucial to your safety. Most people tend to disregard this system and fail to check their master cylinders up until their brakes give up on them. Brake failure can be disastrous and even fatal. That’s why it is very important to check on the condition of your vehicle’s brake system regularly.

Inspect the brake fluid level on a regular basis. Most of today’s vehicles are equipped with a semi-opaque master cylinder that allows you to check fluid level without taking off the cover unlike those in cast-iron master cylinders. Make sure your brake fluid level is adequate at all times to avoid any accident.

Aside from checking the brake fluid level, you should also check the brake lines that are connected to the master cylinder and the bolts to the power booster. Look out for leaks in these areas. If you see signs of fluid leaks, use a wrench to tighten the fittings on the brake-line nuts. However, if the master cylinder is leaking at the rear, you should have it replaced.

Have your vehicle checked under the hood periodically. Rubber hoses that come in contact with the auto wheels will get worn down over time. Replace these rubber hoses that are worn or cracked excessively. Inspect the brake shoes and caliper pads regularly to avoid expensive replacement. The same goes with disc pads which should be replaced with the recommended pad style.

The brake system is just one of the many critical systems of all vehicles that you must carefully maintain to avoid breakdowns that may be disastrous and even fatal. Periodic checks and preventive maintenance is the best measures you can do. Regularly visit your auto mechanic and have your car inspected and serviced.

Aside from brakes, your vehicle is composed of systems and parts that need your care and maintenance. If ever you need replacement auto parts for your vehicle, you can effortlessly find the best quality auto parts at Auto Parts Discount one of the leading car part stores online today.

Shock Absorbers for Your Safety


Steering or handling difficulty, uneven braking, abnormal tire wear (especially cupping), springs bottoming out, excessive bouncing after stops, worn steering and suspension components and noise caused by loose shock absorber attaching parts – these are some common indications of auto shock absorber failure.


The basic function of your car's shock absorber is to keep the auto wheels in contact with the road surface under all road and load conditions. The auto shock absorber is not a weight-supporting device, and serves only as a damping device for the spring or torsion bar suspension system. Your car's shocks keep the springs from oscillating freely after the auto wheels roll over road irregularities. Without auto shock absorbers, your vehicle would have a bouncing ride, as energy is stored in the spring and then released to the vehicle, possibly exceeding the allowed range of suspension movement. Control of excessive suspension movement without shock absorption requires stiffer (higher rate) springs, which would in turn give a harsh ride. Your car's shock absorbers allow the use of soft (lower rate) springs while controlling the rate of suspension movement in response to bumps.


Make sure your car always gives you a safe ride. Always see to it that your auto shock absorbers are always in good working condition. If your car's shock absorber is dripping fluid, it is a sign of leakage, and this calls for replacement. Premium quality replacement auto parts can be found at trusted online auto parts stores like Auto Parts Discount for a price that won't drill a hole in your pocket.
