This is 💯 Percent an Effective Training and Safety Video for all CDL & Non-CDL Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers... Why is this Video Great for Truck Drivers? Because it Highlights the 💯 inadequacy of Training and lack of Enforcement for the Millions of 4 Wheelers out there towing a Trailer. Also, it can Provide DOT Regulations Training Awareness for- 1. Training on 49 CFR 383.111(a)(13) HAZARD Perceptions, view https://lnkd.in/geuq2MKR The basic information on HAZARD PERCEPTION and clues for recognition of hazards, including: (i) Road characteristics; and (ii) Road user activities. 2. Training on 49 CFR 383.111(a)(14)- Emergency maneuvers, view https://lnkd.in/gHCE8JMW), covering- (i) Evasive steering; (ii) Emergency stop; (iii) Off road recovery; (iv) Brake failure; and (v) Blowouts. This Video should send Nuclear Verdict Triggers of Fear to Uhaul, Lowes, Home Depot and any other Business that Knowingly...Willingly... enables an unskilled Motorist to Pull a Trailer, often times WELL Past the Vehicle's Maxium Gross Vehicle Weighted Rating for Towing.

In my experience within the automotive industry, I have dealt with a LOT of intermittent concerns on vehicles. They're challenging for sure. I've put together a short article that should shed some light on why they've become more common. Have you ever had an intermittent concern eat your lunch? I certainly have!

Today my supervisor at training filmed a video while I was changing the injectors’ seals. The problem was that while running the diagnostics the car had a fuel trim of 50% while it should be maintained between 5-10%. 🤔If you’re wondering what’s a fuel trim⁉️, a fuel trim is 💡an adjustment that the engine computer makes ( either add or remove fuel) in order to keep a good air to fuel ratio (to get an efficient operation). #fueltrim #automotives #engines #injectorseal #mechanicalengineering #newinfoeveryday

Excited to share that I just completed a Functional Safety Training course with LHP/Tuv Nord, focused on the application of ISO 26262 to ensure safety of electrical/electronic systems within on-road vehicles. As we move towards zero emissions powertrains, this process is becoming increasingly relevant and often essential within automotive development. It was a well-presented and in-depth course, culminating in a thorough certification exam (results pending 🤔). Looking forward to applying this knowledge to impact both hardware adjacent development processes and direct electronic systems. #FunctionalSafety #ISO26262 #AutomotiveDevelopment #ZeroEmissions
