I just read this article:http://www.nzz.ch/2007/05/09/il/newzzF1HHI9IO-12.html The 1032 riders, who are possibly dead or worse injured in the event of an emergency, are themselves to blame. But the unsecured children can’t do anything for it and there are my hair on the mountain. Also not to strap on yourself is stupid! I don’t even notice anymore, when I put on the seat belt, that’s a reflex. So excuses like: “that’s too cumbersome for me”, “costs unnecessary time”, “have I just don’t understand Airbag” etc. Also the fairy tales of a little heavier people, like: “I’m strong enough, I can support myself”, or “I’m sure I’ll stay in the seat with my weight” testify to zero idea of physics. I had a nice example of this 3 years ago during a driving safety training: One of the passengers in our car should not buckle up. The instructor was at the wheel. He drove on, at about 10 km/h and then braked fully. fat guys on the passenger seat (approx. 180kg live weight) catapulted it only from it with full force on the dashboard. Of course he was stinky-sauer learned his lesson but then… What do you think about the topic?

Hello, I’m looking for a beautiful elk logo that I want to integrate into our new user map. I haven’t really found yet. The only logo that I found was the website alter-swede.de (see picture). I want to insert the logo into the map at the top left so that we can identify more with the moose 😉 Somewhere in the thousands of postings I’ve already read that various logos have already been created. urden. Who knows more? Who can help? Who might provide us with a logo? BoisBleu

Hello everybody, I’m not sure if it really affects as many people as is always said. With my car it’s basically that the windows are dirty or smeared exactly in my field of view. This morning again. The windshield is bare and absolutely clean. But at some point on the ride comes a bit too much dirt on the disc. You think “don’t wipe” yourself. But after Murphy gets even more dirt on the disc, so that you eventually get to the Wisc The wipers are already on the move. …wipe…ready… while you’re despiriting the wiping success or trying to see through it dawns on you. Hadn’t I… Had I already noticed, then everything gets clean, except the piece of disk exactly in my field of view? No? Yes. The whole disc is clean – except for the spot I look forward. How do I do that? I’ve been following this for years now. At the moment I have normal Bosch leaves on it, with the left wiper additionally having a spoiler. Tomorrow I’ll get a new windshield (rock sequence with crack) and I’ll also buy the car new wipers. If I prefer to use spoiler-free wipers this time or rather take the full blower Bosch Twin with power glider – or was that something else now 😉 What does it mean? Do you have any tips on the subject? What are your experiences? Greetings BoisBleu

Hej together, at the trade fair in Detroit was officially announced that from autumn 2006 a small Volvo named C30 will round off the pallet downwards. Swedish newspaper aftonbladet writes that Volvo has shown a 15-second spot of the C30 at the press conference. Logically, not the entire vehicle was presented almost 2 years before market launch, but the rear view is at least ventilated in the silhouette. The attached picture shows the car. More Unfortunately, there has not been any new information yet.

Have a question about driving licences in EU countries.. If an EU citizen moves his permanent residence to another EU country, he must then also make a new driving licence? For a few years I have been representing our company in the Czech Republic and have my residence here. Yesterday evening a legal guardian explained my German driving licence is not valid. According to EU law I have to apply for a new driving licence here!! To conclude the contract then the request, i I’m supposed to leave my car and walk home, after all, I’m not in possession of a valid driving license. Is anyone familiar with the legal situation or has had similar experiences? Best regards Volvo 174

I drive a S80 2.0 T, am super satisfied with the dare. When buying I had a 10x CD changer installed by the dealer and started the problems with it. Due to improper installation they damaged me of the middle console, the radio part and the telephone part. Everything nice scratched. I pick up the dare from it was already dark so not exactly everything looked after. I noticed the defects only the next day. The result my dealer of “detaching” had to put on warm clothes. I The phone also had to be replaced because they had to destroy the card reader however they managed to do it. The damaged center console (outside) I got replaced nciht. Since this new phone there are problems. Despite that it is sounded off it rushes in the speaker in the headrest. It was allegedly played up at the dealer of my Veertauens a new software but it did not improve anything. Can I in d his direction someone further help???? Thank you

After the Drängler discussion found so much support, now the opposite. Yesterday I drove on a three-lane highway about 160 km/h. On the right lane, because no traffic. In front of me on the left lane I pick up another vehicle. On the right lane also trucks appear now. I reduce my speed and switch to the left lane (meaning continue free). Then I drove with due distance behind the left driver. He drove 120 km/h. I didn’t overtake the middle lane on the right, because I didn’t allow it. After about 5min I get noticed and then the left-hand driver changes to the middle lane and I can overtake. What would you have done? It was a clear violation of the right-hand drive. Is this a coercion in such a case? I’m really curious about your opinion. Oh yes and I don’t want anyone to feel provoked by this topic. Is just a general opinion. ße Selenum

Well, an attempt not to become too obvious OT…. About the (unfortunately decreasing) quality of the seats in our elks has already been written a lot. Unfortunately, the best seats do not help if you are lying on the wrong base at night (Machos: Shut up! ) In search of new mattresses I was suggested by some sellers water beds as optimum – possibly also because of the prices: about 2000 teuros for a single bed. Does someone have practical = own experiences in the forum? Bi IG Richard (threatened by the intervertebral disc incident…)

Hi together, I took the time this evening and had to put 3 different vehicles in a dark (but always the same) position as possible and make a long-term exposure with my DigiCam. I switched off the vehicles, switched on the stand light and opened the driver’s door (or at the rear left). The camera fixed to 10seconds exposure adjusted and pulled off. I want to show the view that a biker has on the car AND how well he can guess. I think pretty much everyone here in the Volvo Forum has complained that the new Volvo models lack the door lights. I remember the answer from Volvo (IAA 2005/FFM): “The light design has been changed and makes a door lamp unnecessary.” Here in the picture my XC70. …

quite incredible thing, of which the new york times reports: California sues “General Motors, Toyota, Ford, Honda, Chrysler and Nissan”, because they carry the environment of the state of California through the exhaust gases of their vehicles. the lawsuit is an attempt to assign concrete responsibilities – but imho already in the starting point so løchrig, that there probably hardly remains any more as a symbol effect. however, in the eye do not have the time to read the whole article… dear gruss oli
