CHRYSLER AND FIAT YET TO BECOME ONE

Following the major speculation among everyone as to the coming together or rather merging of two giant car makers, namely Chrysler and Fiat, now comes the report that they are not yet amalgamating.

The reputed CEO of Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group LLC, Sergio Marchionne stated it not long ago to reporters. But it is perhaps too soon as to guess what is going on in that mind of his. For once, he may as well be looking at taking some precautions.

Car Crash Claims are one of the leading personal injury compensation specialists in the UK. 100% no win no fee. 

This is still not a bad idea at all, considering the poor condition of Chrysler today. Fiat as of now owns a good 20% stake in Chrysler, once Chrysler goes public; Sergio is looking at increasing this stakes to up to as much as fifty percent.

For once, the willingness as shown from the side of the current CEO in refurbishing the state of Chrysler to its former glory is definitely laudable. In the mean while, the recent impressive performance of 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee means there is indeed a good chance of Chrysler coming back from the woods and onto the main road again, in the reckoning.

Keeping the workings of Fiat and Chrysler as separate would be a good idea. For once, this would help the two different brands to deal with their own different base of customers separately giving better focus.

It has again not been long after, since the federal government bailed out Chrysler in 2009. People were quite furious then. Since now the company is very slowly but surely recovering, it would be too much of a rush for the merger to take place. It may just end up getting the companies negative PR from the ever hungry media.

Then there are the more expensive covers which cost a big £200. But these are to be opted for by people who are looking at getting the complete package comprising of many things; Garage call-out charge, back up while travelling abroad among others.

The VAT rise as to be taking place in the first week of January 2011 itself, will have people paying much, much more then right now.

As it is the entire of United Kingdom is seeing people battling growing inflation. For although, may be the recession period is going down, it is yet to settle down completely. From the current 17.5% that they pay now, it is bound to go up to 20%. The Chancellor in the mean while has been to a vacation from where he just returned. This is even as the common people battle from the price hikes.

Shadow Education Secretary Andy Burnham went on to the extent of saying that the government is a rather arrogant one. They are the least bit bothered about the poor situation in which the common people live.

Even productivity is bound to get affected by 0.2%. This is going to negatively affect the country’s economy. The VAT increase would thus mean the common average household of UK will be spending a minimum of £7.50 weekly and about £400 annually.
The VAT tax doesn’t apply on all things.

For once, food, chocolate bars and other household necessities as well see exemption from the tax increase. This perhaps also had people flocking the petrol stations and getting a huge supply of fuel before the price change. In fact, increasing price of every good saw people purchasing them in lots before the hike took place.

Although there are no surprises as to why this alarming number of people coming in with some or the other kind of trouble in regards their vehicles. Heavy snow has been the main culprit here. In fact, it has been a very bad winter this year in a long, long time.

The agency AA had already anticipated, considering the harsh and cold weather, that most people would come in with mechanical issues in their vehicles. Benefits and packages were provided by the AA agency.

AA for once had a difficult time in dealing with such high number of people coming in claiming their insurance claims. Director Simon Douglas in the mean while also talks about how things could be greatly avoided if people become a bit more aware and alert before venturing out in the snow in their vehicles.

The chances of a collision while travelling on an icy road is always bound to be great, greater still in the winter season. Even people, who have fitted winter tyres to their bikes and cars, tend to get into an unfortunate accident.

For once, going for the local police which continuously gives updates on the weather, is a good thing. These accidents are occurring in great frequency not just in Scotland but also the other parts of United Kingdom for that matter.

ISOLATED FROM A PETROL PUMP

There are quite a few sites in the United Kingdom which have a petrol pump located located far off by many a kilometers. There have been many a cases of drivers and motorists running out of fuels at these “black spots”. Now it can prove to be a hurdle all the more, if a person is in a hurry and happens to be passing from these isolated spots which don’t have a petrol pump for miles and miles.

Running out of fuel on such areas can be a big nightmare come true and nothing short of it. A breakdown organization Britannia Rescue has compiled together a list of these many "blackspots". The areas include Blackpool Gate Hamlet located in Cumbria, Kielder Water in Northumberland, Brianne Reservoir in mid-Wales and Derwent Reservoir in Derbyshire.

These places although far away from the daily chaotic hum drum of a city still see great number of tourist and travelers frequenting. These spots are a good 12 miles away from the petrol pumps. While there is one that simply breaks the records and stands out. This is Loch Quoich which is located at the Scottish Highlands. At about a good twenty six miles from the closest petrol pump, any motorcyclist or driver in a car whose wheeled machine comes to a halt here will be left asking for a lot, lot more.

Interestingly, a massive 700,000 drivers and 40% of motorists have experienced a break down and going empty on fuel at these areas in the past six months itself. Add to this, the current difficult times which have resulted in most of them travelling on minimal fuel, searching for cheap fuel or driving slow. None the less, one may simply not deny the fact that getting stranded on such spots can actually lead to serious difficulties or even dangerous and unfortunate situations for that matter.
