While it is always better late than sorry, Europe has finally decided to join United States and Canada in making ESP (Electronic Stability Program) a mandatory feature in all cars that are on sale come 1st November. Any light goods vehicle that are under 3,500kg are to be sold with ESP as standard too. This is excellent news according to Bosch, who is the market leader for ESP systems in the automotive industry because the company claims to have saved an estimated 6,000 lives and 190,000 accidents since the ESP’s introduction. While the numbers might seem exaggerated, we should not doubt them since they have already installed more than 100 million such programs since 1995. Currently, around 59 percent of all vehicles under 3.5 tons sold around the world comes standard with ESP. Other than Europe, United States and Canada, all cars sold in Australia and Israel also comply with the need for ESP to be fitted as standard.

Had to say this after reading a thread about the rich and poor in our nation and how education affects your chances of ending up in either state. My controversial but honest take... Education is just safety chute. If your main parachute doesn't open, at least you have a safety chute to depend on. But whether or not your safety chute works the way you want it to is another thing. One thing MUST be said. Working for others is one of the worst ways to try to become rich. It is statistically proven - throughout the developed world - that being your own boss increases your chances of making big bucks. Of course being your own boss carries greater risks than having a "stable" job. I say stable with quotation marks because I believe that that stability is only an illusion for employees cause I believe you can't really be safe when your financial well-being depends on someone else other than you. Right now I'm at it on my own. I'm at the beginning throes of my start-up and I know i'm burdened with a high level of risk as compared to my peers who graduated with jobs. I've had friends and family tell me things like: - "You've got good overseas qualifications, studied more than most people sure can get high starting pay one. Why go risk it?" (My housewife auntie actually told me this). - "Just get a stable job first. Think about business ideas later. Don't rush into things when you're young." (Friend) - "Most businesses fail one leh. So many friends I know failed already. It's very hard to make these days esp in Singapore (Friend #2) I never took their advice. Why? They're all employees. Why would I take business advice from people who never tried to start something on their own? Some successful relatives and friends who own business say very different things when they hear about me starting out on my own: - "Starting business? Mmm. Good. Must work hard." (Uncle to owns a few market stalls with pri sch education, but now owns landed property with 3 cars). - "It's going to be hard. Most important thing is you must have focus." (Another uncle who's doing quite well.) You can tell the difference in attitude. One play safe, okay can oredi. The other side's realistic about how hard it is but never say "don't try". My philosophy is: I'm young now. Got significant savings and money from good decisions when I was a teenager. So I must give it a shot. If I fail, i've got my education and youth. May not do as well as peers but I won't starve. Sad thing is, in the past people had less education and hence less to fall back on. But they were so much more gutsy. Today? So many of my peers are graduates but they've lost that go-for-it attitude (i partly blame our country's lack of safety nets for this). And my opinion to others who snigger at me when I don't do well (IF things don't turn out the way I hope)? I dare to try. I'll never have to say "if only..." when I'm older. If I fail, i'll try again. And again, and again, until I know time's running out and money's all gone. Money isn't everything to me. It's whether I dare to try to be as happy as I can be. If I end up as an employee ten years down the road after failing, I'll still be happier than if I never tried at all and end up working in an office anyway even with higher pay. So if you wanna make it rich, start out on your own. If you're working for someone else, chances of you being rich is very remote. And your job is not truly stable because you being employed depends on another person. If you throw a stone into a crowd of wealthy folk, chances are the person you hit owns his/her own business.

Good news for buyer of Next generation Odyssey and JDM Accord. According to the latest press release this will be an option for JDM Ody and Accord. I guess it will be quite an expensive option. --------------------- Corporate September 4, 2008 Honda Offers New Motion Adaptive Electric Power Steering Assist and Driving Stability Support Technology in Japan TOKYO, Japan, September 4, 2008

bros and sis, heard so many times that such and such make is heavier so it is more stable at high speed. I thought about it for a moment, it is not the only thing that make a car stable. I just reason out with my limited physics knowledge. Please anyone chip in with your thoughts. A heavier object need higher force to get the moving and once it is in motion, it take larger force to slow it down. for example, at Mini Cooper needs less braking power comparing with a Mercedes limosine in order to stop from 100km/h to 0. why? I think the answer is inertia. Inertia can work in favour of the Merc in the scenario where by , eg. both car hit a brick the size of a fist. the mini has to fight very hard to stay on course. but the Merc could be not affected so much. by telling the uninformed about stable at high speed , it is only tiny bit of the whole picture. F1 car 600+kg only, they are stable and agile. The moral of the story is, there is a lot more that just weight to make a car stable at high speed. and weight is not neccesary a good thing. when the SE try to sell a heavy car, listen carefully. weight -> drink more petrol, only contribute to the inertia and momentum which can be good or bad. depends on what that car is for. :) stablility-> tyre grip, aerodynamics setup, suspension setup, centre of gravity.. just my thoughts.
