• Have at least one front axle and at least one rear axle designed to be driven simultaneously
• Shall be capable of climbing a 30 present gradient with vehicle in the solo condition
• Have at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one mechanism having similar effect

Micro car

• Micro cars are usually designed and produced for economic purposes
• Less than 3 meters in length and less than 85 cubic feet/2400 litre interior vol.
• Earlier engine capacity were under 1.0 litre
• A small car with very small engines being treated as motor cycles
• Advantage in easy of parking

Sedan (Saloon)

• Type of car design consists of engine compartment, passenger compartment and a separate boot
• A sedan posses fixed roof with fixed B pillar which seats four or more
• Accommodation — 4 or more seats in at least 2 rows
• Most commonly it is a four-door; two-door models are rare

Hatchbacks

• Saloon with a hatch at the rear end of the vehicle.
• An automobile design, consisting of a passenger cabin with an integrated cargo space, accessed from behind the vehicle by a tailgate
• Opening rear tail gate
• The interior design include fold down rear seats, which can be used as a cargo area.
• The rear seat can be folded partially (for instance 1/2, 1/3 or 2/3) or completely to expand the cargo space.

Notchbacks - Sedan

• A Notchback sedan is a three-box sedan, where the passenger volume is very distinct from the trunk volume of the vehicle.
• The roof is on one plane, generally parallel to the ground, the rear window (taillight) at a sharp angle to the roof, and the trunk lid is also parallel to the ground. 

Fastbacks - Sedan

• A fastback sedan is a two-box sedan, with continuous slope from the roof to the base of the deck lid, but excludes the hatch back feature
• Typically this design is chosen for its aero dynamic advantages. Auto makers can no longer afford the penalty in fuel consumption produced by the traditional notchback three box form

Coupe

• While hard tops (without the pillar, and often incorporating a sloping back light) are called coupes
• Body — Closed. Usually, limited rear volume
• Coupe was an enclosed two-seater mainly used in towns and was driven by a coachman.
• Coupes generally two doors, but not necessarily, have two doors, although automobile makers have offered four-door coupes and three doors hatchback coupes, as well.

Convertibles

• Vehicles whose roofs may be showed or who side windows may be completely lowered
• It was activated by pneumatic cylinders, 
• The trunk lid of the convertible should be altered from its parent model
• Space required for stowing the top, because the removal of the roof leads to a significant loss of rigidity
• Need for high static and dynamic stiffness

Station Wagon

• Body — Closed. Rear shape is designed in order to give a larger interior volume
• Body style similar to a sedan but with an extended rear cargo area.
• Station wagons are based on sedan platform, having the main interior area extended to the near-vertical rear window

How Station Wagon Differ From Hatchback?

• A hatchback car would not enjoy the full height of the passenger cabin all the way to the back
• Rear glass of a hatchback being sloped further from vertical, and the hatch tending not to reach fully to the rear bumper, as it commonly would in a station wagon.
• Station wagons also have side windows over the cargo area, where as some hatchbacks have thick C pillars and no cargo area windows.
• 
  

Sport utility vehicle (SUV)

•        An SUV is a passenger vehicle, similar to a station wagon, usually equipped with four-wheel drive for on- or off-road ability, which combines the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a sedan.
•       They have a power full engine, have sufficient passenger space along with luggage compartment behind the rear row seats and are designed for all terrains.
•       They are non commercial vehicles with the BIW built on the chassis similar to a light truck or a crew cab
•       An off roader needs a long hood and an upright position. That lends the vehicle self- assuredness and power

10 BAD HABITS WHILE DRIVING

NOVEMBER 27, 2014 / RISHABH RATHI

Just check how many of these bad habits do you have.

In India, two things keep on increasing, the population and the number of vehicles running on the roads. Day by day, the roads are getting crowded with vehicles. While in that respect are exceedingly serious and obedient drivers on the route but there are cars revving like they are working to overcome the escape velocity or changing lanes like a serpent. These matters come under bad habits of driving.

Thus, here is a list of most common bad habits people possess while they ride:

1. DRINKING and DRIVING

We totally know how disastrous this is. Consumption of alcohol slows down the blood flow to the brain and that leads to dizziness and at times senselessness resulting in accidents. This is the reason why everyone is advised not to mix drinking and drive.

2. SPEEDING

Yes, we can see you have got a BMW Z4 but that doesn’t mean you make it an aircraft. Over speeding is foolishness and is necessarily a habit you need to get rid of.

3. NOT USING TURN SIGNALS

Many of us face this everyday. A speeding SUV suddenly turns right and you have no idea what went on.  The turn indicators are meant for a purpose and not just flashing decorative lights. Learn to use them!

4. USING MOBILE PHONES WHILE DRIVING

Taking a call from your boss while driving just to avoid getting late to the office doesn’t make you smart. People update their Facebook status’ while driving. It is being foolish by any means.

5. NOT FOLLOWING TRAFFIC RULES

The light turns yellow and you step on the gas! And then you crash. Driving without wearing your seatbelt is also violating traffic rules. Please respect this Nils Bohlin’s creation and add more years to your life.

6. NOT CARRYING VALID DOCUMENTS

There are many people who don’t have a driving license but are driving. The basic documents required to drive on the road include your DL, vehicle’s RC, Insurance and Pollution certificate. Do carry them with you always.

7. LOW MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLE

A great deal of traffic jams occur due to the breakdown of vehicles. Improper servicing can lead to disastrous results. Always take care of your car and it will take care of you.

8. FAILURE TO CHECK BLIND SPOTS

Sudden lane changes are common on our roads. Sometimes, the driver fails to check the blind spots causing trouble. So, keep calm and drive on!

9. SLEEPLESSNESS

If you feel uneasy while driving or it is difficult to open your eyes wide, avoid driving. Get proper rest and be safe on the roads.

10. TAILGATING

Although, it is less observed since we are great at overtaking from every possible corner but tailgating should be averted. It irritates the driver in front of you, and can result in a collision if suddenly brakes are used.

Always abide by the traffic regulations and dodge the above listed bad habits (and the not listed ones too) for safer roads.!!

IP not able to assign network connection is hidden from the network connections windows xp (Solved)

The IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX you have entered for this network adapter is 
already assigned to another adapter Name of adapter. Name of adapter is hidden 
from the network and Dial-up Connections folder because it is not physically in
the computer or is a legacy adapter that is not working. If the same address is 
assigned to both adapters and they become active, only one of them will use this address. 
This may result in incorrect system configuration. Do you want to enter a different 
IP address for this adapter in the list of IP addresses in the advanced dialog box?

• This issue occurs if a network adapter with the same IP address is in the Windows registry but is hidden in the Device Manager (My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager). This hidden adapter is called a ghosted network adapter.
• 
  

1. Using the Show hidden devices option in the Device Manager (View > Show hidden devices) does not always show the ghosted adapter to which that IP Address is assigned.

2. So how do we fix it? First make the ghosted network adapter visible in the Device Manager and uninstall the ghosted network adapter from the registry:

1. 3. Click Start > Run.
2. Type cmd and press Enter.
3. At the command prompt, run this command:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

Note: If this command does not work (a possibility in Windows Server 2000 and 2003), you may need to add the parameter to Windows and set its value:

a. Right-click the My Computer desktop icon and choose Properties.

b. Click the Advanced tab and select Environment Variables.

c.  In the System variables section, click New.

d.  Set the Variable name to devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices and set the Variable value to 1 to enable the parameter.

e.  Click OK to add the variable to Windows.

4. Start the Device Manager by running this command from the same command prompt : start devmgmt.msc

5. Click View > Show Hidden Devices

6. Expand the Network Adapters tree (click the plus sign next to the Network adapters entry).

7. Right-click the dimmed network adapter, then click Uninstall.

Now assign the IP again,
