J. Owoeye A. A. Department of Transport Management Technology, Federal University of Technology, PMB 65, Minna, Ngeria Doi:10.5901/jesr.2014.v4n5p165 Abstract Since the first Ford’s Model Ts vehicle in 1908 which has metamorphosis into the present day hybrid vehicles, yearly auto-crash leads to the death of 1.2 million people, injury and disability of another 50 million is challenging. This study assesses road users’ perception and responses to red signal-lights of new/second hand vehicles imported into Nigeria and theoretical review of human vision. Questionnaires were administered to urban road users at public garages, oral interviews with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC, Nigeria) and traffic cops and personal observation at intersections to assess drivers’ perception of red turning signal- lights. The result reveals that 76% of the road users have low perception of red turning-signal and that poor utilization of turning- signal are responsible for 45% intra-urban road crashes. In conclusion, it is recommended that the federal government through the relevant agencies should redefine her stand on the US and World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations, WP.29 in the furtherance of road safety crusade in the country. Keywords: Turning Signal-Light, Visual Perceptions, Vehicle Blinkers, Traffic Safety, and WP 29. 1.

As always, it was well attended. Plenty of ice cream, with toppings, and of course Ed’s famous auction. A good time was had by all. Speak- ing of a good time, I think everyone had fun and plenty to eat at the potluck, at Hart Park. I think we had sixty five members and 15 Model-A’s. Nice turn out! I know the weather has been a little hot and I’m not going to complain. May- be next month when I get my electric bill! The warm (should I say Hot) weather hasn’t kept Dianne and me from driving our Model-A’s. We made a few trips to Shoreline Village in Long Beach, Redondo Beach, and Huntington Beach. See the pattern here? We always seem to end up at the beach. It’s a great way to spend a summer evening and you meet a lot of nice people every time you stop.

  • The M.G. 1 ¼-Litre Saloon
    May 14, 1947. May 14, 1947. 1947 CARS The M.G. 1 ¼-litre Saloon A New, Independently Sprung Model From a Famous Sports car Factory EW cars made in this country have ever endeared themselves to so many enthusiastic drivers as has the F M.G. Midget, which has been popular in different forms ever since 1928. Owners have always lamented the fact that, when growing families made an open two-seater unsuitable for them, they were obliged to buy a more touring make of car. Now the M.G. Car Co., Ltd., can offer them a four-seater saloon, powered by an engine of the same dimensions as the TC series Midget, combining comfort with a lively performance. The price of £671 11s. 8d., including purchase tax, exceeds that of the 2-seater model by only some 25 per cent. The most striking innovation in the new 1¼-litre model is undoubtedly the adoption of independent springing for the front wheels. Eleven years ago the R type of racing M.G. Midget featured independent springing of all wheels, but only now have the manufacturers been sufficiently satisfied with their test results to incorporate independent suspension on a production model. The potential gains from the elimination of a rigid front axle are very substantial. There can be some reduction in FAMILY LIKENESS.—The new model combines accepted M.G. lines with new standards of small-car comfort and refinement. unsprung weight, to the advantage of’ both comfort and road Engine Dimensions: Transmission – holding. Flexible springs can be used Cylinders 4 (Contd.) without any wheel tramp or steering Bore 66.5 mm Prop.

  • The Square Rigger
    The Square Rigger Quarterly Newsletter of the Chesapeake Chapter of the New England MG-T Register HTTP://WWW.CHESAPEAKECHAPTERMGTCLUB.COM The Square Rigger SUMMER 2020 Edition Published – June 2020 BE KIND, HAVE GRACE, GIVE THANKS, SPEAK LOVE, & STAY SWAGGY 1 WORDS FROM OUR CHAIRMAN Greetings! These last few months were pretty much at a standstill for most of us as activities either were postponed or cancelled. Like most people I had plenty to do either completing things around the house, especially in the garage, or improving on the curb appeal of the house. However, looking through the current Sacred Octagon issue, you can see John Tokar working in his garage on his MGTD – finally catching up his restoration project. As you know all Chapter events for 2020, except for the Fall Ramble in October, have been cancelled. As it stands now it is still taking place as scheduled. There was a book review of Why We Drive by Matthew Crawford which I read today. It explores how the joy of driving is being replaced by the boredom of navigation screens, self-braking devices and other gizmos which result in a less attentive driver. Cannot say that about driving our MGT-Series cars. Since our last TSR issue appeared, a couple of CCNEMGTR members volunteered to fill the two club officer vacancies. John Debelius will serve as the Treasurer/Secretary and Jim Bradley has stepped forward to be Regalia Chairman. We appreciate both John and Jim for helping us by filling these slots. Wishing you well and encourage you and your family to keep taking the needed steps to remain healthy and safe.
