And you know what the Head-Up Display?

Abbreviation HUD stands for Head-Up Display, which, in turn, translates to English as "display raised head."

In this unit has been called "projection on the windshield. This ad hoc system of car, capable of projecting data (depending on the model, it could be speed, engine speed, voltage in the system, etc.) directly in front of the driver directly on the windshield.

For the first time such systems have appeared in the military aircraft industry. Different indicators were projected directly onto the glass helmet pilot fighter. A few tenths of a second, which are necessary to translate the view on the dashboard and back, high-speed fighter aircraft, flew hundreds of meters. And all this distance the aircraft passed almost blindly, that is very strong effect on safety.

Automotive industry always took the best from other areas, and the projector on the windshield was no exception. Previously, to enjoy such a device in operation, in addition to fighter pilots, owners were able Corvette Z06, Citroen C6, BMW 5-and 6-series. But now the industry automotive tuning stepped forward, and appeared on the market HUD-portable projectors that are suitable to almost any car model.

HUD-projection on the windshield is a high brightness LED display, which is located on the dashboard and project readings (speed, engine speed, voltage in the system, the temperature of the cooling loop - the number and nature of the displayed parameters depend only on the model of the projector), the frontal glass in front of the driver.

From the model depends on how the device is connected - either directly to the on board system, the car (taking readings from the regular devices), or through the cigarette lighter (takes readings from sensors included with the device). If your car is under warranty, I choose the second option, since one of the conditions for maintaining the integrity of the guarantee is an electric vehicle network.

HUD-projection on the windshield - this is a unique device that provides safety and comfort behind the wheel! You no longer have to constantly distract by the readings, which means you will not be distracted from the road. You always have time to slow down before abruptly stop a car or a pedestrian who jumped into the road, always notice the road signs . The great advantage of such devices is the possibility of sound or color signaling. As soon as one of the values displayed on the windshield, will exceed the permitted limits, you see or hear a special signal system.

HUD CRX-3001 - the simplest version of the projector. Projecting the speedometer is connected to the on board network, exceeding the speed limit may be asked to issue a sound or a color signal (switch able feature).

HUD CRX-3002 - has the greatest number of functions: projecting the speedometer, tachometer, voltage systems, the temperature of the liquid cooling of the introduction marker light has a color indication of the specified limits for all indicators.

HUD CRX-3003 - a model that does not require connection to the on board device (so ideal for cars under warranty). With built-in GPS-antenna device information about velocity device receives from the satellites. GPS-antenna CRX-3003 can also be used for other devices by Blue tooth-channel. Powered via cigarette lighter.

You can no longer worry about the readings of the instruments - the system of projection on the windshield takes care of this. And you have to do is enjoy the process of driving!

Temporary registration of cars. How to save?

According to the rules, not later than 30 days after the state registration of the purchased cars (re-registration of property rights) should be carried out inspection. 

And what do those who left their places of permanent registration to the place of registration of temporary and took a car ? Indeed, for various reasons, can "impatient" for a long time to move to another city or village. In this case, inspection stickers and further use of cars has its own nuances. 

So ... you came from another region and have temporary registration. In order to pass inspection (TO), you'll need to put in a temporary account your car with the inevitable change of numbers in the new code in the new region (35 - on the example of the Vologda region - Moscow instead of 177). Old (basic) numbers will be stored on demand by you during the period of temporary registration in the district of ATS.

To place a temporary registration will require the following documents (originals and photocopies) and actions: 

Vehicle registration certificate (PTC - blue bumazhentsiya); 

Certificate of your personal temporary registration issued by the village council (municipality);

Passport RF; certificate of registration of the vehicle (MV) in the original (taken away for storage traffic police officers along with the old numbers "177" with a new certificate of vehicle registration in the 35-m region with a "temporary registration"); 

  own facilities (state registration plates with the numbers 177), taken alone and cleared of mud;

  application for re-registration (of registration) of the vehicle, a model which can be found at the information stands of traffic police (militia) or a duty officer of the District. On line registration actions must specify "for staging the temporary registration";

  Receipt paid to the department of Sberbank, indicating the theme "for the registration of action - statement on the account, the sum of 500 rubles.;

  Provision of vehicles with purified numbers of aggregates (body and engine) to inspect in accordance with the duty of registration of motor traffic police.

After completing all the formalities after mandatory in such cases, checks on all databases tracing and verification of numbers of units of automobiles to those specified in the statement and evidence, you will receive a new certificate of vehicle registration and new public facilities (signs). Duration of temporary motor vehicle registration may not exceed the term of your time of residence registration, but both can be easily extended, with a near relatives or property in the property. 

After successfully carried out the procedure must be within 30 days to pass then (in accordance with the requirements of the law). When you move back to the main registration area (177) voucher TO dealt with in the numbers (35) in the traffic police department, which issued them. Instead, you get old, the main number (177) and a paper on the time required for the next inspection (certified stamp act), which after the presentation in your area (177) at TO exchanges (without charge and test the car) to a new card checkup. 

Contact region change registration 

When the inverse change of registration of the car - with the time taken for the - filed a similar declaration with the traffic police plot "for the removal of the temporary registration. This services are only 200 rubles (present a receipt of payment through Sberbank), because you just get your old number (177) and the old certificate of registration of vehicle, is still preserved in the traffic police (35). That is, if you replace the back a few saves, and paying only the registration steps. 

In addition, if you want to change the temporary registration of his "iron horse" (35) for the core (177), while in "home" region (177), it is not necessary to drive the car for inspection in the "temporary" region (35) as would be close or far he is. You go to the local traffic police (in my example - in Moscow) and presenting a car for osmotrovyh platform, the same day receives inspection report, certified by the seal. Present this act (along with the numbers (35), a receipt for 200 rubles and a Certificate of temporary vehicle registration) without the car itself in the local registration district traffic police (35), without delay, you get old (177) number and certificate of vehicle registration core of the region. Now just have to bring their own numbers to the car, not vice versa.

About the new regulation of the technical inspection for vehicles 

In 2009, the territory of Russia adopted a new regulation for implementation of the technical inspection for motor vehicles and parts from car owners are having problems because many people speak foreign cars of various years of issue and condition. For instance, the turn signals on the newly introduced regulations should be yellow, but what about those with cars imported from the U.S., and there turn signals - red? And tuning (angle) headlamps in the U.S., Europe and in Russia (regulations) are different. And what do those who have the front bumper is equipped with a "kengooryatniki"? Now these cars, according to the regulations, is unlikely to pass inspection will have a minimum rent "kengooryatniki.

Council 

For such options would recommend passing inspection at the place of temporary registration (in the outback). First, its cost is significantly lower, by the example of the Vologda Region about 600 rubles (new prices from February 2010). Secondly, cheaper and insurance - on a temporary registration, it cost me 892 rubles per year for four-wheel drive passenger car foreign car with 110 hp Third, upon presentation of the car on inspection in the province of traffic police inspector completely satisfied by inspection (not always have a special station SO and computer diagnostic equipment), "kengooryatniki" shoot do not need lights to change, too, Draw your own conclusions.... 

And one more thing ... At the time of registration may be less expensive than, for example, in Moscow, "bump" category on the management of vehicles. Go to the category "C" (cars with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 3.5 tonnes) to the category "E" (cars with trailer) in my hometown of cost (including courses in driving school) to 19 000 rubles, Verhovazhskom District, Vologda Region - in 7500 rubles. Similarly, we can get right to the tractor, snowmobile, Jet Ski and boat up to the boat (the last two options - in Vologda GIFT Department, State Inspectorate for Small Vessels), costs a fraction of financial assets.

How to buy a car and not be deceived?

The famous phrase "car is not a luxury but a means of transportation" in the recent past, the majority of Soviet citizens was seen with a certain amount of humor and skepticism. At those wages, prices and volumes of the market "iron horse" was by far not everyone can afford. 

But times change, and rather quickly. First car ceased to be unavailable deficit, and today it's functionality is much greater than the obsolete concept. What are the roles played by cars in the life of modern man? 

It is hard for something not to miss. Contemporaries quickly had forgotten that once the four wheels were just a means of moving in space. Today the car - this tool and a tool for relaxation, hobbies and entertainment, a measure of prestige and an indicator of affluence, self-expression and realization of plans, objectives, and in some situations, the goal itself. 

Yes, exactly! The car - a goal of modern life, temporarily left without iron friend. How much effort, time and money we spend to achieve that goal! How many dangers and pitfalls waiting for us on the path to the secret acquisition! 

It would seem - there is nothing easier. If you have money - go to a showroom and choose what one likes. Not enough money for a new car - on the market is full of second-hand in good condition for a variety of prices. Automotive industry around the world offers the buyer make and model narrow realm of expertise and a broad, diverse shapes and sizes, all colors of the rainbow, for every taste, able to satisfy the broad needs. 

Market Auto insatiable as unlimited human needs. In the area of car sales "turns" huge money, based on the cost of a single purchase - your. 

Unfortunately, money is always attracted swindlers. Car market - not an exception to the general rule, but rather a popular place for hangouts fans quick profit. People buy cars infrequently, and therefore the shopping experience they have a little bit. An inexperienced buyer - a favorite object of frauds. From their point of view there is nothing easier than the "Provisional Government teapot" rusty tin can at the price of a Formula 1 car. 

Fraudster not interested in how to get his money to the victim. Fraudster not interested in what will happen to the person deceived, his family, work, and mental health. Fraudster only interested in money. Your money is allocated for the implementation of long-cherished goal - buying a car. 

In the arsenal of scam many intricate combinations. They are built on two things - lack of attention of the buyer and his ignorance. You can dismiss board - look better. But not so simple. 

In the market of used cars is important not just watch, we must know where to look and that there can be seen. Each latent defect has its visible manifestation, would know just what to look for. The disadvantages, of hidden really, not so much. 

Adoption of this is true not only in relation to technology. The human soul - the darkness, but the identity of the seller for an experienced buyer - an open book. Unless you know what language this book is written, how bold typed and on what page the necessary information. 

In an unsophisticated buyer may get the impression that the "divorce" only when buying used cars with it. They say dangerous buy an ad or on the city car market, seething evil "Kidal" with unshaven faces. 

In practice, not rare deceptions in showrooms, where buyers are not random encounters seller rumpled denim jacket, a smiling manager in an immaculately white shirt. Remember, do not you never heard someone slipped bituyu car under the guise of a new, or sold to two buyers in the same instance, delayed a car out of the cabin after the payment, provided documents that are not put on the record ... 
 
Shoulder to shoulder with cabin scammers plies bankers and insurance agents. For example, offering a "paltry" interest for the use of credit, but his conditioning insurance purchases for "symbolic" price from damage due to floods in the Sahara. 

And how can frazzle the nerves routine procedures of your purchase! Wait - we're waiting for, sign in the adjoining room - and we are moving forward again, and write it to pay - and we pay ... for what? But just because you have money to fraudsters who really want to take. 

Which would not have chosen a niche for its fishing car thieves - all united by one thing, a burning desire to profit at the expense of the buyer? Like a wolf pack, they, until a certain time, tail between his legs, wander around the intended victims, choosing a convenient time to chop off a piece of juicy. 

Memorize once and for all: going for the purchase of a car, no matter where, at the city market or in a prestigious salon, you go into battle. You will receive a real battle for your dream and your money, even if outwardly composed most blessed situation. 

The success of any battlefield depends on the ability to fight, ready to fend for themselves and their goals, equipment, availability of allies. The easiest option - to hire their allies during the battle, turn to professionals to help you choose the car, inspect it, to find hidden defects, tell you where and how to get a loan and purchase. 

Simple - not the cheapest. Employment specialist qualifications certainly effective, but good work and is expensive. Imagine that heeding the advice you gave up the first option, second, third... 

But you have to pay in any case. As a result, the buyer can get something from which sought to protect. A much better option if buying a good car for the price of two, taking into account broker fees than buying pimped for a reasonable price? In addition, in all honesty, who can give no assurance that hired a specialist does not lead you by the nose? 

The only reliable option - be ready for battle himself. You can interview friends and acquaintances, as buying a car passed them, analyze the situation, draw conclusions and predictions. But on the one hand, people tend to forget whether they can recall the necessary details? On the other - a lot of you have such friends? But if much, much needed time to talk with each? And it is not a fact that of all the stories in practice, you can use at least one. Lesson clearly yielded promising results. 

However, conscientious professionals who choose the means of livelihood services for fellow citizens to choose a car, working constantly in the field of selling cars accumulate over time, a huge and invaluable experience. They are not afraid of any frauds, the latest just do not communicate with those who are familiar with all the hidden techniques of deception. 

Specialists are ready to share with you the fact that they know and can do. Their experience is collected, processed and systematized by the authors of educational video course "How to buy a car and do not be deceived. All and all variants of purchase” . 

In an accessible and understandable format video course acquaints with virtually all versions of cheating in buying a car, simple and effective tips collected in step by step instructions, the use of which would protect car buyers from losing money. 

After reviewing this video training, you will be fully prepared for situations developing when buying a used car in the city market and abroad, the new car in the saloon, credit registration and insurance. You will be informed of the legal subtleties and technical secrets, learn how to legally save huge sums, obtaining favorable credit, choosing a balanced and reasonable insurance. 
 
Statistically, when buying a car is wrong 97% of potential car owners. Not all errors are fatal, but agree with crooks a huge field of application of their abilities. 

On error learning. Most people - by their own mistakes, to correct that require time and money. And only a minority of drawing conclusions from the experience of others. Stay in the minority, click on the link to view the videokursom, Find out all about scams, save your money, health, good spirits and good mood.
