Drivers not getting the message Jessica Barrett jbarrett@nsnews.com

BRITISH Columbia’s distracted driving legislation banning the use of electronic devices behind the wheel came into effect Jan. 1, but some drivers still aren’t getting the message.

The West Vancouver Police Department has issued 34 tickets for operating electronic devices while driving since Feb. 1 — the date tickets began being issued after a onemonth grace period.

The number may seem small in comparison to the 330 total tickets issued by the WVPD during the same time for traffic violations, but Const. Jeff Palmer cautioned distracted driving remains a serious threat to driver and pedestrian safety.

“I’ve personally been aware of a number of accident investigations where driver distraction is a factor, whether it’s a cellphone or texting,” Palmer said. “We had one circumstance where even at relatively low speed in a

legislation isn’t just limited to cellphones. iPods and other audio players, GPS systems, hand-held microphones, video games and televisions all fall under the ban. Using the devices includes talking, watching, holding or operating its functions, such as pressing buttons or fiddling with dials.

The new law stipulates that drivers in B.C. only operate such devices when they are safely parked off the roadway or with hands-free activated by voice command or a single touch. Drivers caught violating the new law are subject to a $167 fine and three penalty points.

A better picture of how many drivers continue to text and dial behind the wheel should be available soon.

Scrap the beater, get cash for new wheels Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

ESPECIALLY when times are hard, it’s tempting to try to wring a few thousand more kilometres out of that beloved old beater.

But in addition to mounting repair bills and raised valet eyebrows, an old car can be a serious environmental menace.

Cars built before 1995 belch out 19 times more greenhouse gases per kilometre on average than an equivalent model built

since 2004.

A new ride might be more attainable than you think.

If your “character vehicle” is model year 1995 or older and you have insured it continuously for 12 months, there are a number of incentives to help you let go.

Scrap-It is a nonprofit society that works in partnership with the federal and provincial governments, TransLink, AirCare and other agencies. If your car meets the requirements above, Scrap-It will give you $550 towards your new car, provided you visit

one of the many participating dealerships around the Lower Mainland. Buy a Chrysler or a Hyundai and you could be eligible for an additional $1,000 to $1,500.

If you’re looking to make a more radical change, ScrapIt can also trade your smoke machine for a nine-month, three-zone transit pass, or $700 towards a new bicycle, or several months worth of West Coast Express passes, or a $1,000 credit to use a car sharing organizations or simply $300 in cash.

To illustrate the impact

trading in an old car can have, Scrap-It followed three families before and after they got a new vehicle. In the most striking example, a 1986 Chevette, still soldiering on after nearly a quarter-century, emitted 5.08 grams of nitrogen oxide and 2.3 grams of hydrocarbons for every single kilometre it traveled. The owner scrapped it for a 2009 Mazda 3, which produced .02 grams and .05 grams respectively.

HOW ARE YOUR BRAKES?

So as the sun starts to re-emerge, it’s a good time to carefully go over your car or truck to look for rust.

Corrosion can advance quickly once the protective paint layer is breached, and few things drag down both a vehicle’s appearance and resale value faster than rust.

Fortunately there are a number of innovative products available that can slow down oxidization and possibly even prevent it.

Spray-on products like the Rust Check paint line work by pushing aside moisture and replacing it with an oil-based paint. This keeps the steel away from the air and moisture that react with it to make rust. What makes Rust Check different from simple spray paint is its ability to “creep” into small spaces and bond with rusted metals. Rust Check also makes a product called Converter, used to prepare a particularly rusted area for repainting by converting rust — iron oxide — back into iron.

While decaying bodywork is unattractive, car owners should also make sure to have a

Zab Sarvari understands cars better than almost anyone on the North Shore. Having trained as a mechanic since the age of 15, he has seen every part, every system and every innovation imaginable.

Starting at the age of 19, he began his career as a full time mechanic and has worked in auto repair in Toronto and Vancouver. He’s worked on everything from simple components like brakes and alignment to new complex engines, hybrids, transmissions and diagnostic systems.

A certified welder as well as a mechanic, Zab has also received 60 additional trade certifications on different automotive systems while working for 7 years in the automotive repair shop at Carter GM in the North Shore Auto Mall. Up to date on the latest problems and solutions, Zab also taught auto mechanics at Vancouver Community College before taking

look at as much of their vehicle as they can — the underside, wheel wells and engine compartment in particular are vulnerable to undetected rusting.

Before applying a rust inhibitor, it’s good practice to remove as much of the existing rust as possible. A wire brush or a wire wheel on a rotary tool is an excellent way to do this. Less rust buildup means less work for the penetrating rust paint to do.

Rust Check spray cans are available for less than $10.

For those who prefer a more technological solution, there is a product called CounterAct. A black box, literally, CounterAct is mounted against the firewall, either at a dealership or a home, and creates a negative electrical charge in all of the vehicle’s metal parts.

Adapted from industrial anti-corrosion technology, CounterAct works on a different principle than the cathodic protection systems often found on boats. The charge is harmless and undetectable by the driver, although some users say they can hear a very faint hum.

The main advantage is that CounterAct works on the entire vehicle, including every impossible-to-reach nook and moisture-trapping cranny. The downside is the manufacturer doesn’t guarantee complete protection — 80 per cent — and the $299 price tag could buy you quite a lot of spray-on rust paint.

Finally, at the most basic level, regular carwashing is invaluable to prevent corrosion.

Not only does it wash away salt residue, it will make it easier to see any of the chips and scratches in the paint that will lead to rusting.

Maplewood Automotive Fixes Your Car the First Time, on Time ownership of Maplewood Auto at 229B Riverside drive in North Vancouver.

“When people bring their car to Maplewood Automotive I want them to know that it will be fixed the first time,” says Zab. “We have all the latest diagnostic systems, scanners, tests and tools for all automotive mechanical repairs.”

As well as taking care of mechanical problems, Maplewood Automotive is a designated government safety inspection and Air Care centre.

They’ve also added a car washing and vacuuming service so that when you get your car back, it’s clean as well as fixed.

“I want my customers to have good memories of coming to Maplewood Automotive. We’ll treat you honestly and fairly.”

Feeling sick? It’s time for a filter change DOES your car make you sick?

If you get headaches, allergic reactions or breathing problems riding in your car, it’s probably time to change the cabin air filter. Cabin air filters clean the incoming air and

remove allergens, and should be replaced every 20,000 to 25,000 kilometres, or per the owner’s manual, according to Car Care Canada.

More than 80 per cent of new domestic and imported vehicles sold in North America today come equipped with

cabin air filtration systems or a slot where one can be installed.

“Many people don’t even know they have a cabin air filter in their vehicle and most others aren’t aware of the health benefits of maintaining their vehicle’s

books

Making the most of your MG ■ How to Improve MGB, MGC & MGB V8, by Roger Williams; Veloce Publishing, 224 pages, $69.95.

IN the classic car world the MG series still has an enormous following.

The cars are well supported by a vast selection of aftermarket parts that are readily available, making the MG an ideal car for restorations. Beneath the smooth lines of the car’s easily recognizable exterior lay an abundance of opportunities to improve the performance and handling. Author Roger Williams takes a detailed look at these options beginning with engine improvements that cover the four-cylinder, six-cylinder, V8 and V6 conversions. He goes on to examine gearbox, driveshaft, suspension, brakes, electrics and more.

In every section Williams gets right down to the specific items and sizes of the various parts utilized in the upgrades. Colour photos accompany all the descriptions showing exactly what is being worked on. Bodywork and trim alterations are shown to have many subtle options that will improve the car without ruining its classic look. Any lover of this iconic car looking to enhance their model will find a wealth of valuable information in this easy to follow book.

cabin air filter,” said race car driver and Car Care Canada spokesperson Kelly Williams.

“It’s a simple preventive maintenance step that goes a long way toward protecting passengers, as well as the vehicle’s heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system.”

The cabin air filter helps trap pollen, bacteria, dust and exhaust gases that may find their way into a vehicle’s air conditioning and heating and ventilation systems. The filter also prevents leaves, bugs and other debris from entering the HVAC system.

A dirty or clogged cabin air filter can cause musty odors in the vehicle and cause contaminants to become so concentrated in the cabin that passengers actually breathe in more fumes and particles when riding in the car than when walking down the street. A restricted cabin air filter can also impair airflow in the HVAC system, possibly causing interior heating and cooling problems. Over time, the heater and air conditioner

Most filters are accessible through an access panel in the HVAC housing, which may be under the hood or in the interior of the car. An automotive service technician can help locate the cabin filter and replace it according to the vehicle’s owner manual.

Some filters require basic hand tools to remove and install the replacement filter;

others just require your hands.

Filters should not be cleaned and reinstalled; instead, they should be replaced.
