Your responsibility as a driver is for you to be watchful over your passengers. You must make sure that you do not exceed the recommended amount of passengers for your car’s capacity. If you don’t abide by these things you could find yourself in trouble with the law.
How Many Passengers Are Allowed?
The maximum amount of passengers that your car can have depends on the number of seatbelts in your car. From May 2009 the new directive prevents more passengers being carried than there are seat belts in the rear of vehicles. This will mean that any vehicle of whatever age, where seat belts are fitted in the rear, more passengers may not be carried in the rear than there are seat belts available.
This is because there have been cases where unrestrained passengers in the back seat have been slung to the front, killing the driver or front side passenger. You should avoid passengers being in your car if there are no seatbelts for them.

How knowledgeable are you when it comes to the subject of car batteries? Many people don’t know a lot, especially when thinking about the benefits of the different types, such as lithium and nickel batteries. This is not because people don’t want to know, but not many people have been made aware of the supposed benefits of the lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are widely used for a variety of everyday objects that we all own. This includes things like mobile phone batteries, and laptop batteries. The reason that they are more effective when it comes to car batteries, is because they are a lot more powerful than nickel batteries, and are also inexpensive in comparison. The thing is, in most hybrid vehicles today, even the modern designs, you will still find the nickel batteries, and not lithium.

If you are an owner of a Kia, or a fan of motors in general, then you will probably have heard that the motoring giant Kia is now boasting a seven year warranty on all of their motors. This sounds great in theory, but is it really that good? The thing is, when you purchase a brand new car, it is very unlikely that any parts of the vehicle are going to break or wear out within the first few years that you own it. Even if it did, you can almost guarantee that the car manufacturer would replace the broken part in order to keep the peace.

Do The Research
Before you start selling your car, some research work is needed, as you first step is to find out how much your car is worth. Go online to the various car classifieds websites such as automart, and find the range of prices for your car.
It’s not only the make and model that decides the price of a car, other factors include:
| Year of Registration |
The age of the car, older means cheaper for most cars. |
| Mileage |
This tells the buyer about the wear and tear of the car, and also when the next major service is due, as the more expensive car services are at the higher mileages. Low mileage cars will sell for a higher price than a similar car with higher mileage. |
| Extra Options |
Air conditioning, electric windows are becoming more and more standard, so do not expect a much higher price if these are present on your car. The hot features nowadays are satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. |
Therefore try and find cars that match you car by make, model, age and mileage, with some adjustment for features. Also the area where you are planning to sell, could make a difference so buy some local papers to compare prices.
