How far will the car have moved before you begin to slow down?

You are driving down the street in a car at 55 km/h. Suddenly a child runs into the street. If it takes you 0.75 s to react and apply the brakes, how far will the car have moved before you begin to slow down?
How far will the car have moved before you begin to slow down?
55 km/h x 0.75 s =

55000 m / 3600 s x 0.75 s =

11 s

just under 11.5 metres

How do we stop a crow from attacking cars in the car park?

A crow is attacking the windscreen wipers of cars in our car parks. It is a new building and it obviously nests next door to the car park. It sits on the bonnet and pulls at the windscreen wipers until they come off? Any safe, easy and generally acceptable measures for stopping this character? We would like to avoid anything that is going to lead to its demise!

Use the old farming technique - no not a scarecrow! Hang a few dead crows about the car park and your nuisence bird will soon get the message.



Not sure of an ethical way of obtaining a few dead crows though, maybe that should be your next question.

shoot the ******
a scarecrow!
Make a trojan crow.
this true expert advice

appartently the crows smell something in the rubber which means %26quot;food%26quot; to them

and you are advised to wrap socks around the wipers

ie over them and covering them

i heard it on the radio

worth a try?
I think that the crow is defending a nest. Does where this happens have a crows nest?
I'm partial to a 20 gauge Winchester pump
The crow can see its reflection in the windscreen and the paint work and thinks its another bird cover the windscreen and the wipers when you park there
Buy a cat.

  • What is the best car to learn how to drive in?

    My dads teaching me in his 2001 montero and a 2004 tacoma me myself i think should learn in a car and not in big SUVs and a pickup.

    And what car did you learn in?
    What is the best car to learn how to drive in?
    Learn in the car your dad is teaching you in. The bigger the car the easier it will be to drive a smaller one. Listen to your dad he is much wiser than you realize.
    What is the best car to learn how to drive in?
    Anything with a stick is good to learn in because you get a better understanding of it.



    I wouldn't mind trying out (learning) these new hybrid things myself though.
    I learned in a dodge. I think that your dad's vehicles are OK.
    An old 1974 Cadillac.....now I can drive anything. That's the upside of learning in a huge car/truck, everything else you drive will be a breeze.

    How to get my car seat installed tighter?

    I have the Eddie Bauer 3 in 1 convertible car seat and I feel like I have been wrangling with it for weeks to get it to fit properly.



    The problem is my car is 16 years old, it's in great shape.. But it doesn't have those little anchor hook things. So I use the seat belt instead per the instructions. I am just not able to get the seat in tight enough. No matter what I do it moves about like a drunken sailor.



    Any tips?
    How to get my car seat installed tighter?
    Well your best bet is going to be taking it to your local Fire Station! They are always happy to adjust it snugly in there, and much times have special little tricks! Our car has the latch anchors, but we use the seatbelts most of the time since we take the car seats out alot! Best of Luck!



    If not you can try putting one knee in the seat while you buckle it, or use the middle seat with just the lap belt (it tightens alot easier!)
    How to get my car seat installed tighter?
    drive it down to your local fire department.

    they will get it installed properly for you



    i used a locking clip for mine because i too drive an older vehicle. i got the seat belt set up and then unbuckled it and made it a little tighter, put the locking clip on and then sat in the seat myself to get it tight enough to clip into the seat belt holder thing... mine doesnt move around at all!
    Sit in it yourself, and then have someone else tighten the seat belt. That's how I do mine, and I swear a cannon couldn't blow that thing out of my car! I use the latch in the back window, but even without that I can still get it tight enough just by sitting in it. That's how they do it at car seat safety checks. Or you can take it to the fire department, and let the men do it. I'm sure they can get it in tight enough!
    We don't install our car seat with the LATCH system either, and it's in there pretty tight.



    What happens if you crawl inside of the seat and kneel on it to push it down? I've found that if I'm facing the front of the car (the back of the child restraint), I can put one knee in the seat and push down with a lot of my weight. Then when I buckle it up with the seat belt and tighten it, I'm tightening it with all of that extra weight so it is really secure. When I get out, it will try to give back to where it wants to be, but the seat belt is shorter and secured tighter.



    (I can't find a video online, but I could totally take one for you... but that would probably be overkill!.... I totally agree with the answer to sit in it yourself, but dang... my hips are definitely too wide!)
    Try to sit in it or put as much weight in it as you can. Then have someone tighten it for you...Or call your local Police department...they can do it for you

    How do I switch off my car from outside without key?

    I've kept the car turned on and locked myself out. the engine is running and i dont have a spare. there is enough gas in the tank to idle the car for another ten hours. how do i turn it off immediately? i need to save my gas. Thanks in advance. my car is a nissan bluebird, 1992 model.
    How do I switch off my car from outside without key?
    Blocking the exhaust will cause the engine to stall. You can accomplish this by pushing the sole of a boot up against the tailpipe. If you can get a fairly good seal, the engine should stall out fairly quickly with no harm done... please be advised, though, that the exhaust gas carries a LOT of heat, so don't go trying this with your bare hands (or any shoes you really, really care about).



    Note: Do not insert anything *into* the pipe -- it may very well shoot right back out and hit you, or stay put and leave you with a new problem once the car's off. In addition, merely blocking the outlet with bodily force creates a natural limit to the pressure that can build up...

    you smash the window and climb inside.

    make sure to watch for any excess glass as this can be a danger.

    steal your radio and throw it in a river and claim it all on insurance.

    buy a new car, yours is ****
    Get a slim Jim and open the door or a coat hanger.

    Try a pop the hood and disconnect the battery

    Call RAC VACC so on
    um if u can get ur hood open u can disconnect some stuff.....like the coil wire(will shock u bad if u don't use a thick glove)....and then u will need to disconnect the battery so it doesn't drain down from the key being in the run position.........i would suggest getting in the car any way u can........



    bailing wire from any large store in the area

    slim jim available at any parts store....

    key cut at dealer with vin number and proof of ownership ...which is probably in the car lol

    locksmith........

    if u have full coverage u can break out the window then report it as vandalism.......would suggest the door window not the small quarter windows or rear glass since those cost more to fix.....
    You will need to get a locksmith or someone with a jimmy stick to get your car open, unless the hood was up. If the hood is up, you can start by removing the fuse for the fuel system or injectors. I don't think you have access to the fuel pump wiring harness from under the car. On some models this is accessible from underneath and it disconnected it would kill power to the fuel pump, causing the engine to die. The only other problem, is now your ignition is still on draining your battery.

    Hope this helps and good luck. Christopher
    Pinch the fuel line with vise-grips to shut off the flow of fuel..

    How to fix a car electronics after shorting the battery?

    My pops replaced an alternator for my Nissan Altima ('2001 GXE) yesterday and forgot to disconnect my battery before starting the procedure. Now the car electronics are dead. The car runs when I turn the ignition and drives alright (though the engine block vibrates alot more than we started. . . probably because the tensioner is not set to the correct length), but the dashboard, horn etc etc do not work. Does this mean that I just need to replace my fuses? Or is there more damage done than before installing the alternator? I am going to go to the parts store later today. Please advise.
    How to fix a car electronics after shorting the battery?
    only way of telling is to check it out look at all your fuses you can try an reset everything by disconnecting -ground cable for a few minutes
    How to fix a car electronics after shorting the battery?
    If almost everything is dead but the car still runs , check for a fuse-able link.

    I don't know if your car has on that looks like a conventional fuse or the wire type.



    I'me pretty well 100% sure of this answer.

    My car alarm automatically locks the doors when ignition is turned off and doors closed. How can I stop that?

    I don't want the alarm to set automatically when I leave the vehicle. I want to set it when I know I have the keys in my hand. I have locked them in the car twice because I got out for a minute and the doors locked. One time the engine was still running.

    You could pull the fuse that locks the door. Problem is your alarm won't set with the remote anymore either. You can still lock it by hand though like in the old days.
