Losing directions is one of my weaknesses. If there are too many roads around, I would find myself extremely clueless with the directions whether I am walking or driving without a map or a few phone calls to friends. Sometimes I wondered whether there is a better way than having a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or Satellite Navigation System (SatNav) that would possibly cost a bomb to have one installed in your car.
In some countries, GPS or SatNav are so common that in Tokyo, every taxi has one!

Accidents are not pleasant events but it happens to everyone, on road and off. In our effort to stay away from car accidents as much as we can everyday, well, we see some accidents that are not fatal but somewhat bizarre and at times, hilarious.
With just a support from the truck, this van is incredibly balanced and I bet you wondered how it got that way. Well, I am not sure how it got there, but speed might cause this so its entirely possible with almost any vehicles. Thus, slow down, take it easy and be careful.
We have here, one extremely over-washed car. This is the case of the garage linking directly to the poolside or road even!
The guy who is driving this car is obviously doing better than Hollywood stunts. Why? Because these are not stunts, these are real bruises.
Is Santa Claus switching to a […]
