Car, in whose honor the call segment in which it is located, by design, very conservative, and likely a new generation will also in an evolutionary way. If you focus on the teaser, the body shape will not change, but side podshtampovki will become more profound and will be located above, along the door handles. Headlights can become more narrow and get the daytime led running lights of the new form.

The rear part also can be changed only in details:. more strict geometric forms, and otherwise will be resolved punch on the trunk lid. Certainly the changes will affect the rear bumper.

The premiere of the eighth generation Volkswagen Golf is expected next year.

Most often we put the main picture a picture of the best machine in the next batch of tests, but today I decided to go back. Here is a new model, whitepsace to earn just one star. Learn?

Association of Euro NCAP reported on the testing of nine models: Audi Q3, BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe, Jaguar I-Pace, Peugeot 508, Volvo V60, Volvo S60, Jeep Wrangler and Fiat Panda. Or rather, was smashed eight cars, as a result of the versatile V60 counted and related to the S60 sedan. Five star model didn’t surprise (although there was subtleties). But a couple of cars of the concern FCA experts discouraged. SUV Wrangler is a new generation scraped one star, but the Panda didn’t get one. But a subcompact can be forgiven, at least for the old age: this generation of Panda is on the line since 2011 and has survived since then just different upgrades.

Right of the photo machines shows a graph of the distribution of the load on the dummy driver. On the left, in a frontal collision with an offset in the mid — side impact on the pillar, right — reconstruction of rear-end collision. Legend: green — good protection, yellow for adequate, orange for slight, brown — weak, red — bad.

In the conventional coloring of mannequins sitting in the crossover Audi Q3, there are only green and yellow zone loads. When checking the bumper, bonnet and front struts on the impact of the pedestrian was found a few red spots. However, before such a collision is still necessary to reach: a set of tests of various auxiliary systems, including automatic braking with detection of pedestrians and cyclists, passed with a “green” overall rating.

Additional electronics “x-fifth” worked perfectly, pulling the overall performance of the model to five stars. But to overloads during crash tests, the questions were (see the caption to the above video). Mannequins depicting children during the test, anything criminal did not show. Pedestrian protection is generally good, however, when confronted with him are ruthless to the front edge of the hood across its width, where the conditional parameter loads came in the red zone.

The creation of the Hyundai with some controversial moments should be commended for honest safety. Unlike some models in Santa Fe final five stars largely is due to body strength and low loads (frontal shock — 7.9 and 7.8 points out of eight, side — 14,8 16). But the additional electronics worked tests me automatic braking in front of cars works well, but pedestrians and cyclists car sees on the level of “yellow” and “orange” (as I understand, the rating here is set in the same color coordinate system, and that the beats).

Jaguar electric car I-Pace as well as Santa Fe, a well-or adequately respond to the approach of other vehicles, and pedestrians and cyclists determines less confident. When hitting the latter will have to rely on the friendliness of the hood (no red zone). Inside the car the inhabitants did not particularly threatened — by the standards of these tests, of course. But the protection against whiplash injury in the second row were in the orange zone.

Moderate loads on the dummies and stable power structure of the body brought the five stars model Peugeot 508. With electronics, the situation is slightly worse. Prevention of collisions at urban speeds was relatively green, on a country road have yellow, and also yellow level assessed the reaction of pedestrians and cyclists. That’s a shame that the entire lower part of the windshield not shown strictly to test the pedestrian’s head (where the red area).

Wagon Volvo V60 is all right with the body, and stress. Electronics generally assessed at the highest green mark, even pedestrian detection worked fine, but cyclists are only on the second, yellow level. Meanwhile, on the front edge of the hood and the windshield is full of red areas, which means that the injury collision very likely.

Slight protection of the child’s head during a side impact, the red area of the load on the chest of the passenger on the second row when hitting the front, noticeable deformation of the floor and the risk of heavy impact of the knees on the front panel are listed as disadvantages of the Wrangler. This is coupled with the almost complete absence of electronic assistance systems on Board just a reminder seat belt reminder the seat belt and speed limiter. The experts were surprised — a new model arrived on the market without tracking markup and automatic braking.

In a small car a Fiat Panda to a serious injury is possible in both frontal impacts (then, as the choice of the chest of the driver and passenger of yellow, brown, red and orange, plus brown, the head of the driver when out with a rigid barrier) at the side (the orange load on chest), and a rear impact (the orange load to the neck on the first row and the red in the second). Children for the purchase of Pandas parents is not praised in two different tests of the two dummies of different ages red zone of congestion of the head. Praise the Panda experts were able only for the rigid body, since the geometric dimensions after the frontal impact did not cause. However, this is not enough even for one star. Especially that of electronic assistants in the model, there was only the reminder of the straps.

This stems from the decision of the Supreme court, which ruled that the yard is not a Park but rather a place to travel.

At the end of December 2018 will come into force the document under which the local authorities should prohibit the introduction of paid Parking, including in adjoining areas. However, this administration still be able to compete. As it turned out, according to the current rules drivers can’t leave the car parked at the house in which they live. In the yards are only allowed temporary Parking.

One enterprising citizen decided to find out whether it is legal Parking in the yards? With this question, he eventually reached the Supreme court. He said that the yard is not a Park, but a place to travel. As notes “Kommersant“, this does not mean that all car owners need to urgently take out the machine outside of the local area.

We are talking about the fact that according to the current rules it is impossible to do from the yards of the Parking lot, however, temporarily leave their vehicles. This option is suitable to those who regularly uses a personal vehicle for travel to work. However, if, for example, the driver deprived of the rights for a year, the machine should not stand all this time in the yard, it will have to look for another place. This was stated by the Chairman of the Union of housing organizations in the capital Konstantin Krokhin.

According to the norms SanPiN and article 6.4 of the administrative code, in the courts, there should be no Parking permitted only so-called “guest spots”. According to the latest document for Parking in your own backyard owner can be fined: for individuals provides the penalty from 500 to 1 000 rubles. The publication notes that the Supreme court’s decision creates a gap in the law.

In fact the authorities can accept all of the Parking in the yards outside the law. According to the Chairman of the Board of the development Fund of the local government Zoe Shargatova, in the end, the tenants of apartment buildings whose ground is not formalized in the joint share ownership may face with Parking facilities in their own backyards: we are talking about those sites which are according to the law of urban land.

Problems with Parking are in many large cities of the Russian Federation, particularly affected are the residents of Moscow. Recently it became known that the soon to Park in the city will be more expensive. December 15, 2018 on the busiest streets of the capital , the price of one hour Parking will increase from the current 200 to 380 rubles. On these land plots will cancel free Parking on Sundays. The DMV said the changes caused by the expectation of new year’s eve traffic jams.

Earlier Kolesa.ru reported that the court had to figure out what is not considered as paid Parking. In the end, after the proceedings, the chief justice decided that a machine out of a Parking space (but within the city-paid Parking) penalty for non-payment should not be. These motorists should be punished for another article – for ignoring signs and markings.
