Here are ten useful tips of advice from an auto accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle an auto accident in Ventura, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learning how we can assist you.
Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it may have been a few hours since the accident. However, if you ever have another accident, or if it’s only been a few hours since you were hurt, here’s what you should do from the start.
First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.
Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.
Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.
Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.
Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.
Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.
Seventh, call a good auto accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good auto accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good auto accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most auto accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.
Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.
Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.
Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

Lexus Presents Two High Performance Vehicles at the 2007 Naias
In Detroit: Lexus has unveiled two of its pride, the IS-F high performance luxury sedan and the LF-A sports-car concept at the 2007 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
The all-new 2008 IS-F high performance luxury sedan is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine that delivers 400 horsepower. The LF-A supercar concept on the other hand is equipped with V10 engine that produces more than 500 horsepower. These two cars exemplify Lexus’ high regards for power and performance.
The IS-F and LF-A are two distinct vehicles but share the same DNA, design, heritage and philosophy. The F-designation can be considered as the prominent factor in both vehicles and first conceived nearly twenty years ago as part of an internal project under the codename “Circle-F” in which F stands for “flagship”. This was later turned into Lexus Division.
The Circle-F further evolved to code name Flagship One or F1 which produces Lexus first F1 concept vehicle– the LS. The creation of the LS signifies the beginning of Lexus’ special vehicle program which involves outside the normal engineering and developmental process.
According to Bob Carter, Lexus Division Group Vice president and General Manager, “Lexus has long been perceived as the maker of mainstream luxury vehicles, but the unveiling of the IS-F and LF-A not only changes this perception, it also introduces a new Lexus marque. The ‘F’ shared by both vehicles is the signature for a new high-performance marque conceived by an engineering team that dared to turn their dream of ‘a Lexus like no other’ into a reality.”
The LF-A sports car concept is not entirely new as a matter of fact it was first presented at the 2005 NAIAS as a means of reflecting the bold and dynamic direction in styling that the Lexus brand is heading. The objectives set for the new LF-A are not that different from the original concept which is to build a supercar that has world-class performance and at the same time is uniquely Lexus.
The styling for the new LF-A was based on the design direction called L-finesse which was also the same styling used for the original LF-A concept. But to give the new LF-A with a distinct look, Lexus has further redefined styling by means of using greater curved surfaces and unique details.
The new LF-A’s running gear is likened to that of the original concept and powered by a potent high revving 500-plus horsepower V10 engine. Its high quality Lexus parts like its rear mounted radiators, together with its front mid-engine placement and rear mounted transaxle provide excellent weight distribution. Plus, its amazing horsepower, superior aerodynamics, as well as its revised styling make sit possible for the LF-A to reach a top speed of 200mph.
Choose Luxury Cars and Best Car Quotes
Determining exactly what constitutes a luxury car gets tricky because the criteria seem to vary. For example, you may define it according to a certain price range or manufacturer, or the technological and comfort features a vehicle offers. Nowadays there are also more than just cars to consider…luxury now abounds in many SUVs, wagons, compacts, and even pick-up trucks.
Remember the old saying, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”? Luxury varies by individual, so let’s define a luxury car as one that offers the most in the way of convenience, creature comforts, and drivability to a specific driver. Entry-level luxury cars can cost in the neighborhood of ,000 to ,000.
This category attracts people who want the prestige that comes from driving vehicles made by automobile makers known for high quality. Examples include Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Cadillac, and Lincoln, to name just a few. Some manufacturers not generally considered producers of luxury cars also make high-end models with enough bells and whistles to be considered luxurious.
In any event, comfort, convenience, and great engineering in varying degrees ultimately determine luxury. Things such as quality leather seats, thick, lush carpeting, real wood trim, quiet, stabilized ride, a solid build, and a smoothly purring engine with enough power to never be sluggish constitute luxury for most drivers. In this age of technology, each year brings a new tool, and now we can navigate by watching an in-dash screen, listen to incredible sound systems that completely surround us in the car; and even let our cars parallel park themselves. Even more importantly – safety features continue to evolve as well.

Convert Your Car Engine to Run on Water
Everyone is affected by the increasing prices of gas and everyone wants solutions to get rid of this expensive gas. But many people convert their car to run on water thanks to some TV shows like Project Energy, Fox News, which presented a while ago a method to convert a car on water and improve mileage while saving gas. Let me explain you how this technology works.
Take water from the cooling system and route it through a ¼” copper tube wound tightly around the intake multiple runners. Then provide a return to the cooling system. You must choose the pick-up and return points to provide a pressure differential. The water will circulate through the tubing rather than just sitting there. A similar approach can be taken with exhaust gas. Install a pipe fitting in a high pressure area in the exhaust manifold, near the head and conduct the hot gas through a ½” copper tube to the intake manifold. Braze the tubing to the intake manifold runners and then connect the tubing into a low-pressure area of the exhaust system, preferably below the muffler. You may wish to pick up exhaust gas at several points with several tubes from the exhaust manifold. Alternatively, route the copper tubes inside the manifold runners. It may be necessary to use tubing smaller than ½”. The tubes must run continuously through the manifold so that no coolant or exhaust gas is cycled into the fuel mixture. Drill holes for tubing entrance and exit and after installing the tubes, braze the holes shut.
The advantage of this variant is that heat is available to vaporize the fuel mixture quickly whereas the disadvantage is that the tubes reduce the volume of fuel mixture flow to the engine, thereby reducing power at full throttle. If your car has a water heated intake manifold, it may be possible to increase the flow of hot water through the manifold heater. This can be done by increasing the size of the water entrance and exit ports. Also, installing a thermostat will help. This also improves fuel vaporization within the combustion chamber. Most engines have a heat-riser control valve. You may be able to modify the controls on it to increase manifold heating. Above all, make sure that the valve is working properly. Often it gets rusty and sticks in one position. Many engines today have a thermostatic control or flapper valve on the air filter intake, to admit hot air under certain circumstances. You can adjust the control to provide hot air to the carburetor more of the time. Then fill in the gaps. Write down the specific changes you will make to the fuel and ignition systems. Devise a plan for cold starting and raising the compression ratio that best suits your engine.
You can get a 50% improvement in mileage if you convert a car to run on water. Also you will spend 50% less on gas. If your monthly fuel expenditure is 1000$ , then you will be able to save 500$ every month. So imagine that you can pay your rent or the lease for a new car with that money.

Cool Fast Cars and Performance Vehicles
In the world of fast and mean machines we often find a few brand names which catch our attention due to their reputation, style and price tags. European cars are most of the time the ones who take the all the glory due to their extreme attention to detail, speed and power; some have even said that the only thing some of the fastest cars are lacking, are wings. With so much horse power it wouldn’t be surprising to hear one of those cars went airborne.
While some of the most powerful and fastest cars are fairly new, some movies such as the fast and the furious have brought sexy back through some old and powerful models, that is the case of the fully tweaked 1970 Dodge Charger, the 1965 Ford Mustang, 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona, the 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner GTX, etc. These classic cars are surely attention grabbers since their original design is really unique compared to most modern cars.
Among the newest models featured in such film we have the fully customized 2003 Honda Accord, the 2005 Ford GT, 2005 Shelby GT500, 2006 Mazda RX-8, the 2005 Dodge Viper SRT10, the 2003 Nissan Fairlady, the 2005 model APR Mitubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR, etc.
There are several categories each car performs best at, so we can’t compare them all on a 1 to 1 scale, some are faster, others have more control, others are better for drifting, etc. In speed competition we can compare the acceleration times until each model reaches 60MPH, and these are the results:
To go from 0-60 the following models make 4.9 seconds: 1996 Ferrari F 355 Berlinetta, 2002 Acura NSX, etc.
The 2000 Porsche 911 Turbo and the 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 are tied on 3.8 seconds.
The 2002 Ferrari Enzo and the 2002 Pagani Zonda C12-S 7.3 are also tied on 3.5 seconds.
The 2003 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron reaches 60 MPH in just 3 seconds.
And to top them all the 1994 Dauer 962 LeMans reaches 60 MPH in just 2.6 seconds!, how is that for a fast car?
Fast cars attract a very specific young group of people but for those who prefer style and sleek lines, there are newer models which have been released to the market fairly recently, these are the so called “Eye Candy” models:
The 2008 Porsche Chayenne which features the brand new TechArt Aero Kit, this stylish SUV. Another sleek car which was made famous by one of 007 movies “Casino Royale” is the Aston Martin. There are so many cars which would fall in this category a full blown blog is necessary!. Cars are part of the American culture but wherever you are, if your culture doesn’t involve cool fast cars, believe me, it will soon.
Nada Names Cars Fit for the Winter Season
As the winter season draws nearer, car owners will be facing the hazards and inconveniences that the season brings. NADAguides.com recently offered a helping hand to consumers looking for a new car to buy ahead of the winter season. The company provides auto information on the Web and recently named new vehicles which are suited for the coming season.
NADAguides.com named trucks, SUVs, cars and crossovers which “make the grade in a variety of inclement driving situations”, according to theautochannel.com. One of the cars named by the company is the 2008 Audi A4 sedan. The said sedan is offered with an optional cold weather package. This adds heated rear and front seats, removable ski sack, retractable headlight washers, and the patented Quattro all-wheel drive system. The A4 sedan has good traction on a variety of road conditions.
Another vehicle named by the company is the 2008 Cadillac STS. The said luxury vehicle is offered with an optional all-wheel drive system. The said system gives the STS good traction on any road condition. With the power transmitted to all four wheels of the vehicle, it can tackle slippery roads. The STS also comes with an all-speed traction control and a stability control system. Other features that will come in handy during the winter season are its window defroster, heated exterior rearview mirror, and a remote starter system.
The 2008 Chevy Tahoe is also recommended by NADAguides. Heated exterior mirrors, halogen fog lamps and a remote starting system make it a shoo-in for the list provided by NADAguides. The powerful engine of the Tahoe is complemented by the SUV’s AutoTrac system. The AutoTrac allows the vehicle to adapt to changing road conditions by maintaining traction on all wheels.
The 2008 Ford F-150 is also recommended by NADAguides. The truck has always had the reputation of being a tough vehicle – as durable as Rancho shocks. It is offered with an optional snow plow prep package. Other features include rear window defroster, heated exterior mirrors, fog lamps, and a rack-and-pinion steering. As usual, towing is no problem with the F-150. Its powerful V8 engine with a four-wheel drive configuration can tow up to 11,000 pounds.
NADAguides also recommends the 2008 Hummer H2. This vehicle has been under fire from environmentalists for its gas-guzzling attribute. But when it comes to traversing treacherous roads, the H2 is a friend to any car owner. Its V8 engine provides 325 horsepower. With a four-wheel drive configuration, traction is not a problem. Aside from that powerful engine, the H2 is also equipped with other features making it suitable for cold weather driving. Traction control, dual-zone heating, triple sealed doors, heated exterior mirrors and all terrain wheels are features that comes in handy when winter comes.
The 2008 Jeep Wrangler is also recommended with its remote staring system, stability control, and an all-speed traction control. Other vehicles equipped with cold weather driving-friendly features are the 2008 Land Rover LR3, Subaru Outback, Toyota FJ Cruiser, and the 2008 Volvo XC90.
Don Christy, the president and CEO of NADAguides, said: “One of the most important things people can do to prepare for bad weather is to equip their vehicle with proper tires. In fact, if you own a rear wheel drive vehicle, a good set of snow tires may be all you need for improved performance. However, if your vehicle comes equipped with every safety feature on the planet, there’s no substitute for safe driving. When it gets right down to it, careful driving is the most important safety feature of all.”
