Crane & Driver (TM) The Ultimate Guide - Water Protection For Crane Electronics
1. Intensive POWER WASHING of the crane electronic components. Most electronic components are rated to the European standard "IP16" for spray water resistance. 3. Cable STRAIN RELIEFs usually provide direct access to enclosures with many electric components. Reused or insufficiently tightened/wrong diameter strain reliefs provide an easy space for water to flow through. If a cable is replaced, we strongly recommend replacing the strain relief also. 4.

Driver Distraction - Battle For the Dashboard

How much can the driver handle? We've watched the pieces come together and also followed the discussion about driver distraction. What's shaping up, or should be shaping up, is a major debate over the future of human autonomy, privacy and safety.
Trusting humans
The distraction issue is not new. In short, there is no lack of media attention to the driver distraction issue.
For a long time, it's been obvious to experts on driving that one of the biggest problems plaguing drivers is distraction. This has been a problem long before mobile phones and navigation systems. If there are no technology distractions there's that other, perhaps even more dangerous distraction -- absentmindedness.

Divided attention
Driving is a task that depends on attention dividing. How do we drivers train our vision instincts.
Today's training is more about getting a license than dealing with the problems that beset experienced drivers.
Drivers, laws, and technologies
Over the past decade the role of 'telematics' in driving has accelerated. The enthusiasm for all this technology will be evident if you type "telematics" into the Drivers.com search box and search our site.
How the safety issue plays out may depend as much on politics as the realities of safety and driver distraction. Can drivers be trusted? Hopefully, informed public discussion will play a major role in the outcomes.


How to Choose the Best Golf Driver For Your Game

High handicappers tend to have slower swing speeds and should purchase a driver with a high degree of loft. The shaft of a driver is also important for golfers of all levels and should be matched up to swing speed. High handicappers or golfers with slow swing speeds should get shafts with more flex but less torque to help keel the club face square. The face of the club as it relates to a golfers swing should be promoting spin in the opposite direction. Although custom fit carries a premium in price, we recommend Forgan of St Andrews custom drivers, which can be custom fit online, and offer the best value custom golf drivers in Europe.
