Overspeeding – A major problem with the drivers!

Over-speeding is the increasing problem of every driver these days. Kids of age 10-13 are learning how to drive just because they want to over-speed initially to show off. Over-speeding is taking lives every day, whether it’s a bike or a car.

Why is overspeeding necessary when it’s dangerous?

Day by day technology is increasing. There is invention of new technology and cars every year. As the quality and acceleration of cars is increasing, youngsters are up ahead to buy the latest model. There are modification shops from where a normal sedan car is turned into a sports beast.

An example of this can be found on Sundays; early morning at Karachi track. A group of racers are there early morning for the race. There is betting going on and cars like Mercedes Benz C200 are turned into sports cars. A road where speed limit is 70 Km/H, these racers drive insanely, at 170 Km/H.

Sometimes speeding is required. During emergency situations you speed up but there is a reason for speeding. However, these days, over speeding is a trend. In a city like Karachi, it is said, ‘you don’t know how to drive unless you overspeed and win a race’

Every year the number of accidents are increasing and the major reason is overspeeding. The drivers show off so much that they do not tighten their seat belt.

Recently, death of famous personalities in Pakistan died in road accidents. A major example of Hollywood is Paul Walker. However, Paul wasn’t driving himself but his friend was, he over-sped and could not control the car causing Paul Walker’s death, known to be one of the best drivers.

Moreover, accidents don’t ask before taking place. Accidents occur on their own! Drive safe and take care. Follow traffic rule to avoid accidents.

WHEN IS YOUR PHONE GETTING ANDROID 8.0 OREO? WE ASKED EVERY MAJOR MANUFACTURER

It’s that time of year again. With a brand-new Android version comes the immediate question: when will my device get the upgrade? As a general rule, if your phone was made in the last two years, there’s a good chance you’re in luck — though every manufacturer is different and it really depends on what you own. Before Android 8.0 Oreo broke cover, 7.1.2 Nougat was the latest version of the platform, and it’s still unavailable to the wide majority of currently-supported phones. Still, that didn’t stop us from posing the question to all of Android’s major manufacturers. Here’s what they had to say. Alcatel Alcatel’s track record with Android updates is unfortunately spotty, and at the moment, there’s only one phone we expect to receive Android Oreo: The just-released Idol 5S . The Idol 5S is currently Alcatel’s only product running 7.1.1 Nougat. The company’s lower-priced handsets, the A50, A30 Plus, and A30, all launched with 7.0 Nougat. Alcatel also promised to eventual...

ANDROID 8.0 OREO REVIEW

Got milk? 'Android Oreo' hides all the good stuff inside Android Nougat is so 2016. Like it or not, a new delectable dessert is in town: Oreo. It’s the name given by Google to the latest version of its Android mobile operating system. Android 8.0 Oreo follows Android 7.1.2 Nougat , and it continues Google’s tradition of alphabetically naming its version updates after desserts . It’s the second version of Android to use a brand name. The last was Android KitKat in 2013. Android 8.0, like its predecessor, has more under-the-hood changes than visible overhauls. There are plenty of new features (see our Android Oreo roundup here ), but they’re all relatively minor. Still, these new additions and improvements show us how much more mature Android is now, and they make version 8.0 an update you don’t want to miss. As a note, we have been testing Android Oreo on a Google Pixel . While all the features will be similar across other Android 8.0 devices, there may b...
