What to do with a
cracked Windshield... The scenario is all too common. Drivers are traveling down the road, and a pebble gets kicked up and hits into their windshield, causing a small chip to appear. Slowly but surely that chip turns into a spreading, snaking crack that only gets worse with each bump and pothole. Having a broken windshield is not only unsightly and a big inconvenience, it can also be illegal. That’s because the crack reduces the efficacy of the window safety composition, meaning it may shatter in the event of an impact accident and cause extensive injuries. The crack also may impede a driver’s ability to see the road clearly. It’s important to note that liability car insurance typically doesn’t cover a cracked windshield that occurs in a collision. Instead, drivers hoping to be covered need to have collision insurance on their vehicle. However, not all windshields crack in a car accident. Many are damaged in nonaccident related circumstances, whether this be a tree branch that falls on the car or a rock kicked up from the roadway. It’s important to read an insurance policy thoroughly to be sure that nonaccident related cracks to the windshield will be covered. Even if the damage is covered, it may not be worth the expense of paying the insurance deductible and filing a claim, which may end up raising your rate in the long run. Many small nicks can
be repaired easily with a kit purchased from an automotive supply store. Inexpensive and userfriendly, the instructions guide users through the process of sealing the crack and preventing it from spreading. If the crack is beyond the scope of a do-it-yourself fix, a windshield repair service that specializes in this type of work might be necessary. These companies use products that harden quickly and reglaze the windshield so that the crack may not even be noticeable afterward. Upon inspection, a mechanic or a windshield replacement company may determine that the crack
A windshield crack is something that should be remedied soon.
is not something that can be mended. The entire windshield will have to be replaced at this point. In some cases the windshield can be removed and replaced in the same day. While there is no way to prevent a cracked windshield entirely, there are certain ways to reduce the risk. This includes avoiding running over any debris on the road that can be kicked back at the windshield.

Boat Detailing an Important Part of Maintenance Most boat owners desire to maintain that fresh-from-the-showroom look on their boat, even if the vessel is several years old. Detailing a boat on a regular basis is a way to ensure it is not compromised by the elements and continues to look pristine. Detailing a boat is similar to detailing a car. It generally begins with giving the boat a good washing. It’s important to choose a cleanser that is designed for the boat. Wood boats may need a different soap than fiberglass boats. There also are boat soaps that are organic and will not pollute the waterways where the boat is docked. Surface grime should be washed off and any scaling on the hull from contact with salt water and marine life. Use soft cloths on the delicate areas. Brushes can be used on troublesome spots that need a little more elbow grease. Immediately dry the boat afterward with a chamois. This will prevent the surface from streaking and ensure a dry surface on which to apply wax or buffing compounds. Unless it is a small boat, wax or buffers should be applied with a
commercial buffer. This will prevent arm and hand fatigue and make faster work of the job. Wax should be applied in circular movements, allowed to dry and then wiped off with a cheesecloth or another chamois. It’s best to do small areas of the boat to ensure the proper wax curing time has taken place and it can be wiped clean in a timely fashion. One must judge the air temperature and the sun to determine just how long the wax should remain on. Next use a cloth to wipe down all upholstery. If desired, use an upholstery cleaner on leather to give it a nice shine. There are also metal cleaners that can polish chrome and other detailing on the boat. Use a dusting cloth to go over the instrument panel and be sure to wipe down any glass windows so they are streak-free. Afterward, step back and enjoy all of the hard work. Proper maintenance and cleaning ensures that the vessel will continue to look good and perform for many years to come.

Hig can be dangerous
way ypnosis A long, monotonous trip could induce a condition called highway hypnosis.
Road trips are a popular getaway once the weather warms up. People take to the roads in droves, whether for vacations or simply to enjoy the scenery along the way. With more people on the highways, there could be a heightened risk of accidents for a number of reasons. Though road rage, driving while intoxicated and other road dangers are well documented, many people do not know about something called highway hypnosis -- which could be responsible for erratic driving on roadways.
Think about a time when you were behind the wheel of a car on a long stretch of road, such as an interstate. Perhaps you lost track of the exits you passed or wondered how you 14 – DRIVE / drive.lubbockonline.com
ended up in a particular location when you don’t remember getting there. Maybe you actually fell asleep or drifted off of the road. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration, the main cause of roadway departure crashes is driver drowsiness and inattention. Driver fatigue is often caused by highway hypnosis. Highway hypnosis, also known as “white line fever,” occurs when someone has been driving a vehicle along a long stretch of roadway for an extended period of time. The monotony of a long drive can induce sleepiness or forgetfulness. It can lull the brain into a sort of trance, and the body is essentially operating on auto pilot while the mind is off somewhere else. Highway hypnosis is most common during the late-night hours when the time of day also plays a role in drowsiness. The concept of highway hypnosis is nothing new. In fact, engineers who created the Indiana Toll Road in 1957 designed curves every two miles on average to allow for
a variation in the road conditions. Many other roadways are built with rumble strips or other variations in the scenery to reduce the monotony of the road. Highway hypnosis occurs more than people would like to believe. However, there are ways to help prevent highway hypnosis. * Take frequent rests on a long trip to stretch your legs and get some fresh air. * Try not to drive during the hours that you are normally sleeping. * Bring a road trip partner along and make conversation. * Don’t eat a big meal before beginning a long car ride. * Open the windows and get circulation going. * Keep your eyes moving between your mirrors and the road to improve conscious thought. * If you are still unable to fend of feelings of drowsiness or some of the other symptoms of hypnosis, pull over and take a long rest until you feel more capable to drive.
