All terrain vehicles are rarely seen on roads as they aren't road legal in most countries. ATVs are vehicles that have wide low pressure tyres, usually three or four and are driven by one person and steered with the use of a handlebar.

ATV motocross and off road races are a popular sporting activity. The racing versions of ATVs can be built for a variety of terrains thanks to their robust design. ATVs can be built for desert racing, ice racing, and cross country off road racing.

ATVs can be driven with ease in deserts. Multi activity holidays in Dubai or Egypt include a trip to the desert on ATVs. An ATV also known as a Dune Buggy can glide over sand dunes with ease, something that no other road vehicle can hope to do! (more...)

One of the hidden sides to a haulage firm is the role of the fleet manager. Looking after tens of vehicles, even hundreds in some cases, fleet tracking devices can be particularly difficult to get right and just as hard to monitor, which is why any assistance is like a Godsend.

Having to look after the drivers, customers and vehicles, it’s the sort of job that never seems done; with one driver returning from a run and another heading straight back out with a new delivery. But looking after the drivers while they’re out on the road, and the customer awaiting their arrival is very difficult when you’re sat in a depot maybe 200 miles away.

Obviously, you can’t ring the driver because talking on the phone while driving is illegal, but there are ways that you can monitor their location, courtesy of one of the latest automotive gadgets, based around a motoring favourite. GPS tracking devices work in a similar way to satellite navigation, using satellites to pinpoint the location of the vehicle, allowing the fleet manager to inform the customer where the driver is and when they’re likely to arrive with their delivery.

There is no doubt that motoring is an expensive business these days with rising fuel costs but for for many it is one of life's necessities. It may well be too far to cycle to work each day even if it's fairly local, and if it's not it would mean having to take a train, and then you've still got to get to the station. Let's not forget either, that it can cost several thousand pounds a year for a season ticket for a daily trip to and from the Home counties to London. Rather than being banged up with thirty or so others in a carriage where you may not even get a seat, it is surely preferable to have your own little tin box where you can listen to music of your choosing as you waft along.

If you're going to get the best value from your motoring you should start with a vehicle that fulfills your needs but is not excessively big and luxurious. That big Merc or Range Rover will certainly impress the neighbours but is it really essential just to get the kids to school or you to work?

Once you have logically selected the vehicle you need, and not necesarily the vehicle you want, it is time to locate and buy one. There is a lot to be said for searching online these days because it is often the best way to quickly identify the best deal. If you have a look at a motoring directory it will point you towards new or used car sales, and also help in tracking down good deals in respect of car insurance and ancillary considerations like breakdown cover and spare parts. The value of the internet is that it enables you to search a wide variety of suppliers across the board, quickly and easily comparing prices. It is not worth physically visiting a car dealership unless you have some idea that they might have vehicles to suit your needs. (more...)
