Well it makes a lot of sense. In the dark the main way of telling if a car is getting closer or further away is whether you can see white lights or red lights (combined with white numberplate on front and yellow on the rear). Medical vehicles use green lights, which means others shouldn't be able to use them etc. --- Post updated --- You know what though, part of me would really like to see more jap sports cars with neon underglow and body kits, they are so rare these days. You can tell I grew up playing midnight club... xD
Just so you know, the emergency lighting code in NY state allows for reds and blues on the rear, and only reds on the front. White lights can be used by anyone, and orange lights are only for utility vehicles.
Yeah, but it would likely cause confusion for a lot of people who won't be expecting to see them. Plus if you had red underglow and someone pulls out in front of you at night, then frankly you should be to blame for that, because its the defacto by regulations way of identifying vehicles at night.
I don't like getting distracted while driving. Also, I don't like the look, but everyone has their own tastes.
From what I remember under glow is illegal here, my cousin had blue under glow under his ford escort before he totaled it...
I'm not certain on what the state-wide laws are, but around here it seems that police vehicles have red and blue, fire and rescue has red, and ambulances have blue. However, my cousin is the local fire chief, and while all the village owned trucks have red lights, Illinois says his POV can only have blue lights.
A Honda Jazz weighs in at about 2,500 lbs according to google compared to a lot of American sedans that weight around 4,000 lbs.
Well the Hyundai I40 that I mentioned is around 3500lb and that has around 130hp. Which is fine. It is used to tow a 2800lb caravan and it does the job. There is an argument to be made that an extra 20hp could be useful with that car. But any more than that isn't nessasary, even if it is nice to have. A more solid clutch on the other hand would be useful for steep inclines while towing, cause the one Hyundai put in there obviously wasn't specced with the cars towing limit and hills in mind
My sister in law has a 4 door Honda Fit, and I can literally pick the back end of it up and roll it around. Everything about that car is comically small. And also absolutely terrifying if you're on the highway with it, it's about like going out into 70 MPH traffic on a pit bike. I assume by caravan, you're referring to what we would in the US refer to as a camper? If so, a 2800 lb camper would have to be in the Ultra-Ultra lightweight class, The only one I can think of that is that light would be the old fiberglass Scamps.
Its what I learned to drive in It seemed pretty happy at 70mph although an extra gear would have been nice to keep the revs a little lower. Obviously there are cars that are far more happy and civilized at those sorts of speeds though. But at no point did it cause any problems. I Would say doing close to 60mph on the straight country lanes around here was more worrying, cause those seats aren't holding you in place and those roads ain't flat either. --- Post updated --- One of these (not my photos) By European standards its midsized. Any bigger and you need dual axles. The I40 can tow some of them as well depending on weight, but for that sort of thing a larger mpv is better suited like a Ford Galaxy, S-Max or VW sharan/Seat Alhambra.
There is no way in hell that thing is 2800 lbs. That single axle being so close to the center also looks very unstable.
