Roundabouts can cause unpleasant associations for inexperienced motorists.

Roundabouts can cause unpleasant associations for inexperienced motorists. The fact is that such areas are regarded by drivers as the most dangerous. Significant difficulties arise when you need to choose the correct trajectory of travel. Since not all motorists know the Rules, mistakes are still made.

Statistics show that in areas where roundabouts are organized, the least accidents with serious consequences occur. More accidents happen at intersections that are equipped with traffic lights. Such statistics can be explained by the fact that motorists on the ring are focused on the situation. They better analyze the actions of other road users, and also slow down during the lap. In addition, there is no oncoming traffic - it is isolated by a ring, so there is no exit into the oncoming lane.

At intersections that are equipped with traffic lights, motorists feel more free. They rely solely on traffic lights and ignore the environment around them. As a result, accidents occur when vehicles from different directions collide with each other.

When the traffic light turns yellow, motorists do not slow down, but increase their speed and enter the intersection at a red one. This is not only a violation of traffic rules, but also the cause of the accident. Recall that motorists who move around the ring have priority. The only exceptions are those cases where additional precedence signs are used.

There are certain rules that should be observed when driving through such a section. So, when entering the ring, you need to turn on the turn signal to the right. To leave the ring, the motorist must change lanes to the far right and turn on the right turn signal. If a motorist leaves the roundabout from the left lane, he can create a major accident on the road.

The secondary car market in Russia is fueled by parallel imports and is gradually normalizing.

The secondary car market in Russia is fueled by parallel imports and is gradually normalizing. There is no shortage of vehicles inside, and the cost is getting smaller. But until recently, the cheapest class, in which Soviet and Russian models are presented, is in no hurry to drop prices, but even with such a price, cars continue to be sold.
Winter events dealt a serious blow to the Russian automotive market. At that time, almost all models rose sharply in price. In modern conditions, Russian cars are valued as expensive as the old Japanese, who have not yet had time to leave their resource.
“Muscovites” is a classic that is not included in this trend. But if we consider the common Zhiguli for daily use, you can buy a car from 150,000 rubles ($2500).
This is too high a cost, but it has already formed in the market. Since ads disappear from sites, we can conclude that even with such a price list, cars sell well. A logical explanation would be bargaining, which is included in the cost of cars in the secondary market, but most of the sellers are not ready to discount the price set initially. In the best case, the discount reaches 5%.
Experts have found an explanation for this phenomenon in the market. So, the citizens of Russia heard enough news and concluded that buying a foreign car in modern conditions may be unprofitable. As a result, many have decided to purchase cars that are as simple as possible in design, which do not cause maintenance problems. This category includes Russian and Soviet models.
However, buying a domestic car does not free you from problems. Most of the copies on sale were produced before the 1990s. The design uses low quality parts. In addition, many cars are redoing - converted to meet the requirements of our time. Repairing such a vehicle is not easy.

The car received a combined electrical installation, which is capable of consuming electricity and hydrogen.

The car received a combined electrical installation, which is capable of consuming electricity and hydrogen.

The Russian premium car brand Aurus plans to sell its first hydrogen-powered sedan for $597,000. This is reported by the Mash Telegram channel, citing sources familiar with the situation. The hydrogen sedan has already been demonstrated to the public several times at various events. In July, the car could be seen at the Innoprom forum in Yekaterinburg, and in August the car was brought to the exhibition of spare parts and auto components MIMS-2022 in Moscow.

In turn, FSUE "NAMI" refuted information about prices. They explained that so far the model exists only in the form of a test prototype, on which NAMI engineers work out the possibilities of hydrogen technologies.

“Information about the cost and further sales of a car powered by hydrogen fuel,” the FSUE NAMI emphasized.

When the Aurus hydrogen sedan will go on sale is unknown. While the production of the car has not yet started. At the moment, it is obvious that the car received a combined electrical installation that is capable of consuming electricity and hydrogen. The power reserve of the novelty is 600 km. Acceleration to “hundreds” takes the sedan 4 s.

Earlier, FSUE NAMI announced plans to produce a whole line of hydrogen cars. Rosatom, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and Gazprom are also participating in the project. What kind of cars will be included in the line of hydrogen cars and how many there will be, is still unknown.

Aurus mass-produces Senat sedans and limousines. Initially, the most affordable model of the Russian brand was estimated at $398,000. However, in April, the Ministry of Industry and Trade warned that prices for premium models would soon rise. The department explained that this will allow the manufacturer to fulfill import substitution plans and expand the line. If you now look at the announcements of dealers, then it is cheaper than $497,000. Aurus can not be found.

The next novelty of the Russian brand will be the Komendant SUV, the premiere of which may take place before the end of 2022. Aurus Komendant will receive the same powertrain as the Senat model: it is a hybrid unit based on a 4.4-liter V8 petrol turbo engine, paired with a compact electric motor and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The total output of the units is 598 hp.
