What’s a “Dump Truck”

September 24th, 2008
A dump truck or called production truck is a truck used for transporting loose material (such as sand, gravel, or dirt) for construction. A typical dump truck is equipped with a hydraulically operated open-box bed hinged at the rear, the front of which can be lifted up to allow the contents to be deposited on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery. In the UK the term applies to off-road construction plant only, and the road vehicle is known as a tipper or tipper lorry.

AUGUSTA, Ga.—A dump truck driver swerved to miss a car that pulled out in front of the truck, and ended up flipping the truck onto its side. It happened on Rosier Road and Sutton Place.
The truck hit the curb, sending it over onto its side and spilling some of the gravel it was carrying. Fortunately, workers were on hand to clean up the mess.

Choosing The Best Mobility Scooter For Your Needs

September 15th, 2008

A loss of mobility doesn’t have to mean a loss of freedom. With the extensive range of mobility scooters available you can find one to get you around the house, to work or wherever you need to go.
Mobility Scooter

Taking a look at the vast choices of mobility scooters available on the market today, you can be sure that there is one out there suitable to your needs. For example, some scooters are made to transport you over a variety of terrains, at speeds of up to 15 mph while others can make hairpin turns allowing you to maneuver the inside of your home. This is great news for someone who doesn’t suffer from paralysis but does suffer from a mobility related disability.
A Basic Primer on the Different Types of Scooters on the Market
There are travel scooters designed to be portable and lightweight. This is the type to buy if you are a traveler and need a scooter that you can fold-up or disassemble easily to load into the trunk of your car. Travel scooters also tend to be the least expensive for a basic model but additional features will equal a higher priced model.
For versatility, the regular 3 wheel scooter is great because you can use it pretty comfortably both indoors and outdoors. This machine generally has a good turning radius, which is especially important for maneuvering around furniture and objects inside the house. If the primary use for your scooter is outside, you should consider a 4 wheeled scooter, which is more stable.
Stability with 4 Wheels
The next scooter type, the 4 wheel, doesn’t have as excellent a turning radius of the travel scooter or the 3 wheel mobility scooter, but as mentioned above, it offers more stability. This larger machine scores higher marks in durability, too. If you need a stable scooter to navigate rugged terrain (and to use mostly outdoors), the 4 wheel scooter is your best choice. Another advantage is that these scooters tend to go the fastest and have the longest battery range. Some other features to consider if you plan to use the scooter outside to also have a master key lock, reflectors, a horn, a locking seat and an automatic circuit breaker to cut off all power so that the automatic braking system will bring the scooter to a stop in case of an electrical problem
Once you’ve determined the type of scooter that best meets your needs, it’s time to do some research on brands, models and a reliable dealer. Factors that will affect your decision will be the price, range, comfort and weight capacity. Of course, there are other factors that you may want to consider when deciding on a scooter, so be sure to list out everything that concerns you.
Getting Around
If you are using your scooter inside your house but have uneven surfaces, such as a transition between two rooms, you will need a small threshold ramp. Portable scooter ramps come in a number of different types to handle a variety of situations such as getting up sidewalks, curbs or a few steps.
What About Transporting Your Scooter
If you plan on traveling by vehicle with your mobility scooter (other than a travel scooter) you will need to use either a lift or carrier. The carrier usually resides outside your van, and it is designed to transport your scooter where you need to go. Lifts and carriers can weigh between 75 and 200 pounds so you should confirm that your vehicle can handle the weight of passengers, the scooter carrier and the scooter before installation.

Philly teen guilty of killing boy for dirt bike

September 10th, 2008
PHILADELPHIA A Philadelphia teenager was convicted of first-degree murder Tuesday for killing a 16-year-old boy to steal his dirt bike.

The verdict against Eric Smith, 18, carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison with no parole. He is to be formally sentenced Oct. 24 for killing Luis Navarro last year.

“He’s lucky - he deserves more than that because I will never see my son again,” said the victim’s father, also named Luis Navarro. “At least his family can go visit him, wherever he’s at.”

Navarro’s parents had given him the $3,000 motorbike a week before the killing for his birthday, prosecutors said.

Assistant District Attorney Jennifer C. Selber said Smith bragged to friends that he had killed someone on the trails in Tacony Creek Park.

Defense lawyer Daniel A. Rendine told jurors that they couldn’t be sure Smith killed Navarro because the evidence was statements given by Smith’s friends. Rendine said detectives lied to those friends, telling each that Smith had tried to blame him.

Riding A Scooter in Beijing City

August 21st, 2008

A new saying about Beijing’s traffic goes: “Cars are jammed, bicycles are slow, scooters are best.” Beijing’s expat motorcycle and scooter riders enjoy weaving in and out of jams, but many of them are unaware that they are driving illegally.

scooter in Beijing

Xavier, a Frenchman who works in an insurance-related company, loves his motorcycle. He bought it a year and half ago at Wudaokou for a mere 2,200 yuan (US$272). Now he has ridden 10,000 kilometers on it. Although he has spent more than 1,000 yuan (US$123) on reparations, plus 15 yuan (US$2) worth of oil for every 80 kilometers, he thinks it is a good deal.

“If I take a taxi, it costs me 10 yuan (US$1.23) to go four kilometers. So my motorbike has saved me 25,000 yuan (US$3,125) during this past a year and a half,” he calculated. “Back in France, the same motorbike would cost me 10 times more.”

He has been to the Hutong, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, the bar streets and outside Beijing on his bike.

“It is not expensive, and I’m never late anymore,” he claimed. “It is the cheapest and best way to discover Beijing.”

With all of its merits Xavier knows he has been driving the motorcycle illegally.

His 125 cc motorcycle, which can hit up to 100 kilometers per hour, has a Hebei plate that cost him 300 yuan (US$37). But in Beijing only a Jing-A (-A) plate can go beyond the Fourth Ring Road.

Also, his motorcycle is not supposed to go on the second, third, fourth and fifth ring roads.

Even worse, the city stopped issuing any new plates for new motorcycles in January 1998, But plates for scrapped Jing-As can be bought for up to as much as 15,000 yuan (US$185).

The punishment for driving without a license can be an 800 yuan (US$99) fine and 13 days’ custody.

Safety is also a problem. One Korean student at the Beijing Language and Culture University died in a traffic accident in May after driving a motorcycle while drunk.

Pollution is another issue. Beijing has already asked all vehicles on the road to meet Europe III emission standards, including motorcycles. Many motorcycles and scooters do not meet these standards.

Two other types of bikes available in shops are petrol powered scooters and electric scooters, called zhu li che in Chinese.

At scooter shops near Xiaoyunqiao on the North Fourth Ring Road, shop assistants said they sell four to five scooters a day. But according to a policeman on the North Fourth Ring Road, all petrol scooters are banned. If one has a D-type license for motorcycle driving, it might help. But it does not mean the scooter will not be impounded by traffic police.

As for electric scooters, Beijing Traffic Administration issued a decree in 2002, stating that all electric scooters will be forbidden by the end of 2005.

The main reasons electric scooters are to be banned are safety and battery pollution. They can drive up to 50 kilometers per hour, which is more than double the speed of bicycles. People can drive these with no training, and judging by the way some people ride bicycles in Beijing it is surely a recipe for disaster.

According to estimates by the Chinese Association of Bicycles, there are 10 million electric bicycles in China, 500,000 of which are in Beijing. The end of the year will reveal the answer to the question of electric scooters’ legitimacy.

For many expats, it is the fact that they are often ignored by the police that makes them neglect proper licensing and insurance.

Briton, David Jones, bought a second hand scooter from a friend and has been driving it for a month.

“I drive past the police all the time and they have never stopped me,” he said. “In Britain if a policeman noticed anybody without a license plate he would certainly pull him over. Here I seem to get away with it.”

Gerald Gardebled, a motorcycle enthusiast from France, was once fined 200 yuan (US$25) for driving his motorcycle in a bicycle lane. Once he was stopped by police who suspected that his motorcycle was stolen. The police then radioed headquarters to confirm his identity and the legitimacy of his black Jing-A plate for foreigners. Although Gardebled forgot to carry his license, they let him go when they learned that the vehicle was legally his.

To get a D-type license people need to visit the Foreign Affairs’ Office of the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau. They will then be asked to fill in a form and take their passport and resident permit and go through a physical examination and then pass a traffic rule test and a driving test.

Expats can either go by themselves or contact Beijing Foreign Enterprise Service Group (FESCO) to have people help them complete the process at a cost of 800 yuan (US$99).

“If you ask them, most people do not want to break the law,” said David Jones. “They would also be hoping that conforming to the law won’t cost them too much money, time and effort. They just want to get any problems sorted out quickly and easily.”
