Safety and Insurance
Wednesday, 25 April 2007

With the warmer weather, motorcycle enthusiasts are taking their bikes for a spin after a long winter of hog hibernation. Along with the open road, motorcyclists have their safety to consider.

The incidence of motorcycle collisions have been on the rise in recent years - from 202 in 2000 to 304 in 2004, according to the latest Saskatchewan Traffic Safety figures. The increase follows the trend of motorcycle and moped fatalities across Canada that saw a rise from 157 deaths in 2001 to 234 in 2005, accounting for eight per cent of all traffic fatalities.

Regina had its first motorcycle incident this week. On Monday, a 66-year-old motorcyclist was killed after he collided with a gravel truck. Further details have not been released. The female passenger is still in hospital.

Prius Outdoes Hummer in Environmental Damage Print E-mail
Non Motorcycle
Wednesday, 25 April 2007
The Toyota Prius has become the flagship car for those in our society so environmentally conscious that they are willing to spend a premium to show the world how much they care. Unfortunately for them, their ultimate ‘green car’ is the source of some of the worst pollution in North America; it takes more combined energy per Prius to produce than a Hummer.

Before we delve into the seedy underworld of hybrids, you must first understand how a hybrid works. For this, we will use the most popular hybrid on the market, the Toyota Prius.

The Prius is powered by not one, but two engines: a standard 76 horsepower, 1.5-liter gas engine found in most cars today and a battery- powered engine that deals out 67 horsepower and a whooping 295ft/lbs of torque, below 2000 revolutions per minute. Essentially, the Toyota Synergy Drive system, as it is so called, propels the car from a dead stop to up to 30mph. This is where the largest percent of gas is consumed. As any physics major can tell you, it takes more energy to get an object moving than to keep it moving. The battery is recharged through the braking system, as well as when the gasoline engine takes over anywhere north of 30mph. It seems like a great energy efficient and environmentally sound car, right?
