What is the cruise control
The device that controls the rate at which the car is moving - it's cruise control. Its mounted on a car with a different transmission (automatic transmission and manual transmission). Cruise control there two types of adaptive and passive.
Passive (PCC) - maintains the constant speed auto, which asked the driver of the car. This cruise control is very convenient, especially for longer trips, which accounted for to keep your foot on the gas pedal, as a result of very tired legs. While the driver itself does not change the speed by pressing on the gas pedal or brake (when forced to stop or overtaking another car), the rate which is set to remain unchanged. Only then is turned off cruise control
But the car driver should release the gas pedal or brake, cruise control will regain control of the vehicle and maintain a given rate until the next time "intervention" driver. Although the motion of cars is also possible to change the setting of cruise control.
Cruise Control ACC (Adaptive) is similar to the passive cruise control, only a more advanced version. This cruise control does not allow to approach the car, marching in front of more than a specified distance. If the car is going ahead, slow down, this will include cruise control brake system. The work of the cruise control is similar to the work of City Safety, although the City Safety can only work at a speed of not more than 30 km / h
ACC depends on how the safety systems ESP and ABS, this is what distinguishes it from the PCC. So if suddenly some system of these two will be defective, then the ACC off, warning the driver, the display signal.

Adaptive cruise control is divided into two types: radar and laser. Laser has a more affordable price, but they have a drawback: when the weather is bad the laser loses its properties, as well as bad "sees" a dirty car. Radar is more expensive and therefore more effective. So long as they are placed only on expensive sports cars and auto executive class.
Although not entirely trust the ACC is. There may be cases in which the ACC can detect erroneous vehicle in front. To prevent this, the driver should always be on the road to watch very carefully.
The appearance of the first car that was equipped with cruise kontorol occurred in 1958. They became the Chrysler Imperia. Cruise control system installed in the car, led by a solenoid control over the supply of fuel, which was conducted in the combustion chamber. Later, these systems have appeared, which led control of fuel injection by measuring wheel speed, engine RPM reading level, or the speedometer.
Appeared rather late adaptive cruise control, only in 1999, it began to be used on car Mersedes-Bens. Cruise control, which appeared in 2006, the car was able to completely "fix" to the car in front and was named Full Adaptive. Such a system could disperse on their own cars up to speed, which was the vehicle ahead, or stop it.
Why do many hijacked cars?
Many cars smuggled to other parts of the country, say goodbye to their owners. Let's try to understand the causes of mass theft of vehicles, as well as the most basic ways to protect against theft of private cars.
The main reasons for hijacking
The main factors contributing to high levels of avtokrazh a few:
Imperfection of legislative base.
The relatively poorly developed system of motor insurance.
The widespread practice of "redemption" of their cars from criminals. Many cars simply returned to the owner of 30-50% of its market value.
Ineffective law enforcement fight vehicle theft.
Easy to legalize stolen car.
Many cars stolen "just ride"
The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation improper acquisition of another vehicle prescribed in Articles 166 (theft), 158 (theft). When you can not prove self-serving motive autothieves, and often what happens, the maximum that he "shines" is three years st.166. Russian legislation lags behind similar countries in the EU, and the laws of most former Soviet republics. There is any misappropriation of another's vehicle is uniquely treated as theft.
On a voluntary auto insurance
Car insurance for the hull, can scare off some autothieves specializing in personal auto thefts for ransom. The sticker on the insurance company's personal car rear window will make it clear to the potential offender, that the owner will always advocate for insurance claims, and it is easier to wait for insurance payments, you pay a ransom.
The owners of many cars prefer not to receive a sticker, or to keep it together with other documents, thereby depriving themselves of the opportunity to use this additional protection.
However, in comparison with EU countries, the development of insurance market in Russia is far behind. Discourage car ownership high tariffs and lack of a flexible choice of insurance products. Most insurance companies do not insure the risk of "hijacking" separately, but only in conjunction with the risk of "damage", most often it is unprofitable to the owners of used cars.
How many cars are hijacked for ransom?
Despite the lack of official statistics, over 50% of car theft is carried out for ransom, in some regions this level even more. Many cars returned for redemption does not fall into the police official chronicles. No need to legalize the stolen vehicle, or sell its parts, makes this method is the most common type of theft. Pushing for this and the ratio of ordinary car owners who agree to buy your car from criminals.
Most criminals come into contact with the victim, insisting that he would have filed a declaration of loss of vehicle, with a request to return for a fee. The calculation is simple, the representative of the criminal community, in the event of his capture by police in the transmission of money, may refer to the announcement, saying that the car found by accident.
Problems solved car theft
In Russia, the level of crime associated with theft of motor vehicles, less than 20%. Insufficient knowledge of the staff and personnel shortages do not allow to really improve on the performance of detection of this type of crime. Sometimes some "unscrupulous" the police themselves are involved in criminal schemes, acting as informants or promoting the legalization of stolen vehicles. Many cars stolen previously passed through a "clean".
Often falls short in comparison with autothieves and technical equipment of police officers. Today's thieves have master keys than usual, and modern equipment to scan car alarms.
How do you hijack a car?
Not all thefts occur at night. Many cars (not less than 35%) sneaks in the afternoon. Usually the victim for some time tracking down, anti-theft alarm signal is read by the scanner. More waiting, when the host vehicle away for a while, sometimes for 2 minutes, the following occurs:
Deactivates alarm car.
Opened the door, sometimes to break into the car just broken one of the ventilator doors.
With the "twist" made of durable metal cracked the lock striker. Sometimes used instead a set of master keys.
The car starts and hijacked.
At night, except for professional burglars are active less sophisticated criminals (mostly among drug addicts). Many cars "goes" with the yards and other non-protected sites. Methods of stealing trade autothieves the same as during the day. Beginners can proceed as follows:
Mount pushed the bonnet.
With the battery terminals are reset to disable the alarm (a lot of cars in our country is equipped with autonomous power supply without the alarm).
Ventilator is broken at the back door, the door opens.
Alarm is deactivated.
Broken by the larva of the castle.
Terminals are put in place.
The engine is started. The car starts to move from their seats.
To avoid such a sad ending to be concerned about the safe overnight stay, with a protected territory stolen car garage co-operatives are much rarer.
The correct set of anti-theft protection will scare most attackers. By being an elementary observation, one can often calculate the ongoing covert surveillance of the machine.
How to save your car from theft?
Many cars could avoid theft, if car owners have taken care to protect them. Of course, even the most expensive and tricky alarm did not give an absolute guarantee. On the question of protection is an integrated approach. Alarm system with independent power supply will disconnect the battery useless during the hijacking. The combination of electronic and mechanical anti-theft systems are also seriously complicate the lives of avtougonschika.
The most serious alarm is meaningless if it is not included. So gone away, even for 2-3 minutes (often criminals and their lack of) is to include car alarm. A good effect is the use of satellite signal. The downside is the high cost of installation and monthly payments.
An interesting way to protect could be causing your car to the airbrush. Criminals often opt for a car theft inconspicuous, not attracting undue attention. While airbrushing thing is not cheap, the unusual color of the car will make a significant and therefore not interesting for attackers. Airbrushing has also protect and decorate your "iron horse."
The choice of parking space is as important to protect against theft. Autothieves prefer not to mess with garage cooperatives, especially equipped with a system of video cameras. Paid parking gives weaker compared to the garage cooperatives protection. Hijackings occur frequently and are often criminals on the road show car owners left in the car receipt.
Based on the foregoing, we can draw the following conclusion - many cars would avoid theft in the event of a serious relationship owners to protect them.
Aerobatics driver or driving in traffic jams
Let's talk about how to learn to ride slowly. Of course, riding a nasty little, but what can you do - you can not escape it. Let us learn to ride in the "traffic jam" in the flow, "a snail's pace." Only one thing can comfort you in this situation: a slow ride - it's aerobatics, high quality craftsmanship. And our task - to become aces at the wheel ...
So, you hit the "stopper". And no end in sight to the flow of cars. Moving an hour of a teaspoon ... Do not rush to the country - at a business meeting, upon which your future. Apparently, many in this "traffic jam" is also being addressed future: «BMW» to the right did not survive and went to overtake, but overtaking is impossible. Emergency, tension hanging over the cluster of machines, blow whistles powerful, and ready to go to overtake all over. It's not even "plug" and a lot of small. Do not just have to see how the drivers, leaving the steering wheel, flew out of their cars and began to sort things out.
So what, "plug" absorbed? As you can imagine, the situation is only delayed. Our advice - do not be nervous. Alas, there's life in such situations even the most omnipotent people - when things do not depend on you (though you and architect of his own happiness). Hence, we take these events for granted. And think of something high, perpetual, pleasant, an outsider ...
About that, what we do not have enough time in the hustle bustle of life. And in order to devote full flow of ideas, the movement "a snail's pace" should be worked out to automatism. Includes first gear, the left leg squeezes the clutch pedal, right - on the gas pedal or brakes, depending on whether you are traveling or standing.
Suppose the flow is always moving, but very slowly. You gently press the gas pedal, slightly releasing the clutch pedal. The car ahead slows down or stops - you squeeze the clutch, release the gas. If necessary, slows down a bit. This movement should be very smooth, without jerks and roar. And no matter how closely, as if any were pressing on you, keep your distance! It's a pity if the rear of the car will not perform this rule - sitting on the "tail" are very nervous. A general "plug" - a great place for anger management.
In general, the "traffic jam" a lot can change your mind and much to understand. Perhaps you will take for the immutable rule to go to a business meeting for half an hour ahead of time ...
Well, if the "cap" - on level ground. And if it originated on the uphill road or downhill? There will need your ability to handle the hand brake. So, analyze the movement "a snail's pace" in the hill. The machine is on brake. You begin to move, including first gear, slowly lowering the brake lever, releasing the clutch pedal gently and smoothly pressing the gas pedal.
As always, it is better to train on the hill, where there is no one around. You run for the movement to automatism and boring ride - standing in the "traffic" - you will not be as boring. By the way, this cluster of machines you can create an interesting, appropriate introduction to those who are standing beside the car. As you can see, even the most hopeless situation could turn into a gift of fate - all in your hands.
But once again we recall that for this to happen, you should feel free man, independent of the machine, or create a "plug" that is, your movements should be practiced to automaticity. Success!
Cars in America - especially purchases
Because of certain peculiarities of Russian cars auto companies, many motorists prefer to buy foreign-made cars. On the road you can see the cars from different countries, there are also some cars from America.

Cars from America, even in the base case have better equipment than the similar models produced for the European or Asian market. The American consumer is spoiled by the attention automakers. Machines in the minimum configuration for a huge competition in the American car market will not find a buyer.
More options compared to other auto market. In the United States and Canada there are not only machines local automakers, many cars are sold production of Japanese and European automakers.
All shipped from the U.S. cars have left the location of the helm.

It remains to be satisfied by public auction such as Ebay. Easy availability of such auctions play into the hands of various dishonest vendors that sell defective cars or even selling "air".
Purchase of vehicles from the United States through the American family
