Value Your Driving Licence

[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 15:59:31 05/06/12
Here in the UK being issued with a full driving licence that allows you to drive a vehicle unsupervised is a privilege that can only be earned after passing a rigorus practical assessment by strict DSA examiners. . Passing the driving test for many involves taking professional lessons which costs hundreds and for some thousands of pounds in addition to multiple failed attempts at getting a pass certificate. So having spent so much time, money and effort in getting a full UK driving licence I would expect people to value their driving licences, especially if it also happens to be their means of earning a living! Figures from the DVLA however paints a different picture, with each month having many licences revoked under the new driver's act for those who have held it for less than 2 years, while more experienced drivers are either banned by magistrates at court for various offences or getting more than 12 points on their driving licence . My driving school car broke down recently due to a manufacturer defect, so I was without a car for a day, during which time I had an appointment. Because there was no time constraint, I decided to go by Bus instead of taking a Mini Cab, and ended up arriving 1 hour 10 minutes after leaving home. If I had driven, it would have taken a maximum of 20 minutes (that includes delays due to traffic congestion)! This experience got me thinking, I would not be able to do without my driving licence, even if I wasn't a driving instructor. Do you value your driving licence? Have you ever considered what your life would be like if you had to go back to provisional licence status, or worse not be able to drive because you have been banned by a magistrate and be ordered to take an extended driving test? As a new driver it is very easy to get 6 points for offences like not stopping at a red traffic light, or being caught driving 35mph in a 30 zone if you do not pay attention while on the road, other cases like being drunk at the wheel or driving without insurance do deserve you being banned as it is a delibrate breaking of the law, and just shows that you probably do not value the privilege that a driving licence gives you. Next time you get into a vehicle to drive, think about the consequeunces of not having a licence, and be a little more considerate to other roads users, drive carefully not being in a hurry (leave earlier if necessary) and don't break the road traffic act. If you require high quality affordable driving lessons from a very helpful, patient and fully qualified instructor, then why not call or send me a text message on 07956233032 Thinking about becoming an instructor ? My advice would be not to, if you are wondering why, then you can read the article and make up your own mind. It is not as easy as you think, and it is becoming harder to make a decent living especially with the current climate where money is hard to come by and many households are struggling to make ends meet.

Bouncing In Boots For Your Booty

[LESS INFO] 19 VIEWS | ADDED 08:17:09 08/12/11
HI Your Fit Day Friends ! Hey! Do you still want to get that sexy summer bod? Or, maybe you're on the rebound from a joint injury... Or, maybe you're just looking for that cool piece of equipment that is super fun and will get you fit and lean in a short amount of time... Or, you just like toys! OK! So, remember I told you that I would find ways to work out to keep me in super duper shape before my pending hip surgery? Well, I had this super idea that I could design running shoes with springs on the bottom that would take the impact off my joints and it would be less painful to walk and super fun to use, as well as keep my booty in shape. But then I said, "Hmm! Why invent the wheel when somebody else has done the work for me? Why not ask the Kangoo Jump people to help me?" So that's what I did. And I think these Boots were made for YOU! Boots Not Just Made For Walking! My first try with the Kangoo jumps was back in June. It had been raining the last couple weeks in May so I had to put trying the boots out on hold. But finally the clouds separated, and the sun shined through and I got off my ball ( I use a stability ball as my desk chair) and decided to hop down to the Lake. No, I hadn't put the boots on just yet. That was actually a pun. And since it takes too long to hobble on my hip, I got in my car and headed 4 blocks to Lake Merritt. "Another Lake Merrit July Drama Sunset" But something compelled me to take a detour and instead I drove over to the Piedmont High School track where there wouldn't be any stray ducks, dogs or pelicans underfoot; I could count on level ground; and there was no chance of bouncing into the lake...with the pelicans. "Pelicans at Lake Merritt, Oakland, CA" I'll tell you this: in retrospect, walking down the steps to the track in my Chaco sandals and getting onto the track was actually the hardest part. Because once I put on the Kangoo Jumps it was shear joy to 'walk' and 'run' and just be able to amble pain free. Check These Out All Kangoos are a cool, ninja, space age ski/roller blade-like boot design with cambered curved springs on the bottom. And they're reasonably light, and lighter than roller blades-well, at least my roller blades-with just enough weight to give you the right amount of stability and a good workout. I mean, you're still lifting boots with every hop! "My feet in Kangoo Jumps" Getting into them was pretty quick and easy. Adjusting the cleats no problem. Figuring out the pressure to secure them was hit or miss and I probably will need a few more romps before they feel comfortable around the shin. The track wasn't crowed but just carrying the boots in my hand drew attention to me. I wasn't going to complain about that. I'm a fitness diva, remember! In fact, I'm hoping that I can get more people involved in using these boots and coming to my bootcamps. (HA! HA! Boot Camps! Kangoo Style!) Once I had them securely on my feet I was like the Jolly Green Giant. I was amazed at how stable they were. Everyone kept asking me if I felt like I would topple over or twist my ankle. Absolutely NOT. Have you ever felt like you would fall over in ski boots? (assuming the ski is not attached to the boot and you're not ripping down a mountain). There is absolutely no inclination to fall over. And that is a good thing! seeing that I'm only planning on having ONE surgery. Giving It a Go On My Kangoo Jumps Because this was my first adventure out in my Kangoos I didn't want to over do it. They say to hop around, up and down, break them in. So I tried that, but was pretty tentative, babying my hip. But I soon realized that the boots actually roll you forward and the impact isn't directly on your hip. So I became more bold, and set off down the track... at a slow run. And behold, I was bouncing with no burn in my joint. The track is 1/4 mile around. After three times around-running, walking, hopping, and repeating that-I was already working up a sweat and I could feel my running muscles in my legs-the ones I hadn't worked in that running way since December '10- start to come alive. I felt alive! And free........ I spent 15 minutes Kangooing and by the time I stopped I felt like I had instead sprinted up a mountain. It was that good of a workout and my legs and glutes felt pumped. All without any pain in my hip joint. In fact, my hip feels better in these boots running and walking than I do ambling, or more like hobbling right now, on my own two feet, whether in my shoes or Vibram 5 Fingers. Here's a video of me in San Francisco bouncing in my boots : Putting The Spring Back Into Your Life The Kangoo Jumps are designed to take up to 80% of the impact off your joints. So for those of you who have osteoarthritis in your hips or knees (I'm not sure about back pain but you can check out their website) and have had to give up your favorite sport or activity you may have a second chance. So I highly recommend these Kangoo Jumps for anyone who has had to give up their favorite impact activity, things like hiking, trekking, and even martial arts, due to joint pain in their knees and hips and possibly back. Because you can do all of these sports in Kangoo Boots. Obviously do your research and consult with your doctor first. I certainly did before I started using them. In fact, I contacted one of the leading hip surgeons in the world, Dr. Koen De Smet, to get his opinion and approval. And after he reviewed the website he said that they were suitable for what I wanted to do, and as long as it I didn't hurt I was fine. Boots for your Booty I have to admit I was getting a bit soft in the inner thigh and butt since I wasn't able to run in the hills or do any of the sprint training that I love to do for the past several months. But in the past month I have seen a noticeable difference in the tone of my inner thighs, quads and butt and the Kangoo jumps have miraculously toned up my legs in just this short amount of time. And here's a bonus for those of you who have some extra weight to lose: They say that you burn twice as many calories using the Kangoo Boots and that 30 minutes in your Kangoos is like an hour in your normal training shoes. That's not hard to believe. After bouncing around San Francisco and Lake Merritt for just 30 minutes a pop these past few weeks it felt like I had done a six mile trail run in the Berkeley hills. So, not only are these a great workout, burn calories, tone up your booty, and are a hoot to use, they are a time saver as well. What's not to like about them! What's Next ? So, my game plan is to Kangoo Jump for the next two months which will take me up to the week that I leave for overseas for my hip surgery. There will be no more Kangoo jumping for at least 10 months after surgery. But I'll have other exercises that I will be doing to keep our butts in shape, literally! So be sure to follow my blog, and watch the videos, for more cool stuff that will keep your legs toned, your booty nice and round, and your body fit and lean. Stay tuned for more Kangoo Jump videos so you can get the 'JUMP on fitness!' Your Trainer, and Nutrition and Wellness Coach, Debby K ! Make it Your Fit Day ...

drive it! introduces VW's Eos convertible, compares two classic subcompacts, checks out the latest member of the Mini family, tries to communicate with the help of "hands-free" devices, and discovers that vintage cars can look old, but be very young at heart. present it!: VW Eos CabrioletThe latest generation of the Eos marries the design features of a sporty coupé and an elegant convertible.But it does come with the trademark Volkswagen contouring. The new version comes with a world first: a roof comprising five parts that opens in 25 seconds and features an integrated sunroof and a heated rear window. drive it! tested the 2.0-liter diesel version of the Eos with 103 kW of power. Prices in Germany start at 27.975 euros.compare it!: Citroën C3 versus the Ford FiestaWe pit a French and German-engineered subcompact against each other.The Citroën C3 versus the Ford Fiesta. The Fiesta has been around since 1976, and is now in its seventh generation. The Citroën C3 was launched in 2002 and is in its second generation. Both cars feature distinctive design. The Fiesta is a product of Ford's Kinetic Design philosophy, which gives it a dynamic appearance. A highlight with the Citroën is its front windshield, which stretches back over the driver. drive it! took a closer look at the duo.test it!: The Mini CountrymanWe said we would be looking at a Mini, but is it really?The answer is unequivocally yes, but during the course of its life the design has actually gotten bigger -- especially this time around. The Countryman is Mini's biggest model yet. As Mini's version of an SUV, it is the first to have four doors. Four-wheel drive is available too, but as an optional extra. Still, that's a first in a Mini. But is all that space between the Countryman and the road really necessary? drive it! tests the "big" Mini and discovers that it boasts as much cargo space as a VW Golf. examine it!: Hands-free Devices Square Off In A TestMany people have been told "Don't pick up the phone!" if their cell phone rings while driving.Using a mobile while behind the wheel is dangerous and in some places illegal. Drivers in Germany are fined and given points on their driving record if they get caught. That is why hands-free sets are popular in Germany. And they certainly are a comfortable way to talk and drive at the same time. drive it! tests four different systems -- one that mounts on the rear-view mirror, another that attaches to the steering wheel, a simple Bluetooth device, and finally, one that clips to the sun visor. drive it! finds out which of these works best and is safest.Vintage: the Opel KapitänThere is far more to some vintage cars than meets the eye.Markus Zippert is the proud owner of a 1951 Opel Kapitän. But beneath the staid black fenders and chrome is the heart of a much younger car. The engine, axles and drivetrain are from the Opel Senator, a car that made its debut nearly four decades later. And then there is a 1972 TVR 3000 M that's a real rocket sled. It weighs in at less than a ton and its turbo 360 horsepower engine rockets it from zero to 100 in a mere five seconds. The car originated from TVR Engineering in Blackpool, England, but was souped up in Germany. Join drive it! to see the latest in high-speed technology dressed up in time-honored designs.
