Should Cars be Fitted With a Black Box?
The idea of installing black boxes in cars has garnered significant debate in recent years, as advancements in technology have made such devices more feasible and potentially beneficial. Overseas, plans are forging ahead to introduce the technology, which raises the question on whether Australia should follow suit.
Scenic Routes: Taking A Moment To Look Around When Driving
Recently, we flew into Sydney and had need to spend a few days to catch up with family. As we were staying in northern Sydney for a few days, we had some time between gatherings to get out and about and enjoy the sights. One of the days, we had to drive from Glenhaven up to the Hunter Valley, which is situated well north of Sydney towards Newcastle (as some of you know if you happen to live there). Wow, the Hunter Valley is a stunning place showcasing some stunning skyscapes and rolling hills around Cessnock.
Before we set off to our northern destination, we dialled up the best route with no tolls to pay on Google Maps. To our delight, we were sent on a beautiful drive through Galston Gorge. Except for a brief excursion into the Blue Mountains, up to this point we had only been travelling within Sydney itself and had little experience of any roads travelled less by the general public. This little beauty, which only kept us off the Pacific Motorway for 45 minutes or so, took us through an amazing forest with a few narrow bridges that had us skipping over steep ravines with little streams well below. Some of the turns in the road had to be taken at 5 km/h, such was the sharpness of the change in angle and the steep terrain. What a magical experience, and all of this just moments from Sydney’s urban hustle.
The Two Most Important Things When Buying A New Car
There are various things to think about when we want to buy a new car. Most importantly, the thought of how much we can afford needs to be right up at the top of the list of things that we need to consider. Here are a couple of the main points we should be pondering and committing to before we sign any dotted lines on the sales document.
What’s The Top Price?
Our budget and what we can afford needs to be the first point that we get clear in our minds. Having a figure that we will stick to sets the price ceiling for us, and this is the figure we take with us around the car sales yards. Any cars over our price ceiling can be omitted from our shortlist. This makes the task even easier, so those vehicles up to the price ceiling are definitely the ones we can enjoy drooling over, learning about, test driving, and even buying as our next new vehicle. This is, of course, where Private Fleet can help you!
How to Transport a Bike By Car
Whether it’s the casual enthusiast, devout fitness fanatic, or professional rider, everywhere you look there appears to be a bike on our roads.
And while some cyclists have embraced the humble bike as a way to break free from being behind the wheel, the two forms of transport are not always mutually exclusive. In fact, often riders like to transport their bicycles with them on long drives.
