Protective Bumpers
Imagine a young boy clad in roller blades. The whistling cool breeze is blowing on his face and then out of nowhere an unnoticed rock came into picture and the kid just found himself kissing the cold concrete. One can only owe so much to a geared helmet knee pads and elbow padsstanding up injuryfree. Such a scenario is akin to riding an automobile. Vehicles demand a need of protection too. A good number of automotive parts and addons are made available in the market like the bumpers for protection purposes.
Unfortunately about 1.2 million perish brought about by road accidents. With an alarming statistic it is very essential that automobile manufacturers do add necessary safety features in the vehicles these companies produced. Bumpers happen to be one of those ingenious innovations in the automobile industry. With once was just a strap or flat iron bumpers continued to evolve just like the vehicles. Strategically placed at the rear and front portions of the vehicle bumpers have the primary task of protecting the vehicle’s frame whenever a frontal or back collision occurs. Bumpers are designed in such a way that these will be able to absorb the impact during collisions. Whenever a car collides with another car or object the bumpers can lessen the damage to the car’s frame and most importantly help protect the driver and passengers.
As early as the 1920s bumpers were already geared with fellow protectors like brush guards and push bars amongst others for added protection. Bumpers and the other bumper addons provide improved protection for the vehicle’s frame up a notch. These aftermarket parts are usually installed on the bigger vehicles like trucks and vans.
Bumpers however do not just promote protection. Aside from the safety features of bumpers these also some points in the aesthetic level. These auto parts give that extra form and toughness to the vehicle. There are a lot of bumpers taking pride in style but it will be better to remember to install not only the goodlooking bumpers but also reliable ones.

Pilot Program Allows Mexican Semi Trucks Across U.S. Borders
Each year in the United States there are approximately 5000 deaths and over 100000 injuries from 18wheeler accidents. The thought of allowing Mexican trucks free access to our highways has caused an outcry and protests in 2007.
In September 2007 under the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA the Bush administration approved a pilot program that would allow Mexican trucks to freely traverse US highways. However the period between September 2007 and February 2008 saw only 247 Mexican trucks make long haul trips under the program.
Administration Promises Full Inspection Of Every Vehicle
Mary Peters Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation told the congressional committee that held hearings concerning the opening of our highways to Mexican trucks in March 2008 that the pilot program would require a thorough inspection of every truck before it crossed the U.S. border. This was in an effort to put to rest any questions of unsafe vehicles entering the country that might contribute to additional 18wheeler accidents. Critics of the plan however doubt that “every truck every time” could be inspected.
Truck Inspections Raise Several Questions
The current highvolume of traffic flows brings concern that inspection centers lack the space manpower and technology to monitor and catch problems that would reduce 18wheeler accidents. There are also significant differences between Mexican and U.S. truck safety standards.
In the United States every truck must meet U.S. safety standards. Public Citizen a major critic of the Bush pilot program fears that the Department of Transportation assumes all trucks produced after 1996 that are used by Mexican based companies are built to U.S. standards. Further more since there is no current reliable method to verify manufacturing date of Mexican trucks the DOT is going to just rely on statements from Mexican companies that their trucks meet the criteria.
Drug Testing Concerns
Conducting reliable drug tests on Mexican drivers adds additional concerns. Mexico does not have a drugtesting lab that meets U.S. standards according to Public Citizen. A 2005 drug and alcohol survey related to 18wheeler accidents estimated that 1.7 of drivers used controlled substances while driving.
The public advocacy group The Teamsters Union the Sierra Club and other trucking and safety interests in the United States charge that the U. S. government doesn’t have enough inspectors at the border to thoroughly check each truck and driver from Mexico making “every truck every time” a hollow promise.
Truck drivers in the U. S. have strict rules regarding the number of hours they can drive without a rest since driver fatigue is a factor in fatal crashes. Truck drivers who spend more than eight hours behind the wheel have twice the chance of an 18wheeler accident according to The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety from a study they conducted.
It’s Been 15 Years Since NAFTA Was Signed
January 1 2008 was the date NAFTA went into effect after being signed by Mexico Canada and The United States. Canadian trucks have freely crossed the border over the past 10 years while Mexican trucks have been blocked. The United States agreed to remove restrictions by 2000 if the Mexican trucks met U.S. standards. There were however disagreements and in 2001 Mexico filed a challenge under NAFTA. They won and the U.S. was forced to open its border to Mexican trucks but the Bush Administration put into effect the controversial pilot program in September 2007.
