Sports-Car Pileup vs Auto Transport


On a trip from Japan’s southern island of Kyushu to Hiroshima sports cars worth $4 million dollars turned into a pileup when a Ferrari leading the pack of exotic cars skidded as it tried to change lanes. After all of the smoke cleared there were eight Ferraris and one Lamborghini in a 20-vehicle group. The cars were driven by amateur sports car aficionados and were deemed “narcissists” by officials. They should have used N-Motion Auto Transport to move vehicles from point A to B. A car hauler would have saved them far more money and even possibly their lives. Only ten people had minor injuries and most of them have already been cleared from the hospital. The accident happened along a 400 meter-long curve Sunday morning. Even though an investigation is still going on based on the initial interviews and the type of damage that was done the police do not believe that the accident was based on “burning rubber” like in the street racing movies “Fast and the Furious”. The cause of the accident may be because of wet road conditions causing the driver to crash into the guardrail. Along with the nine sports cars that were damaged, two Mercedes Benz were also in the pile up.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder letter against building of Bridge

To argue that Gov. Rick Snyder should have a fall-back position to resourcefully make use of Canadian bridge money to serve as matching funds for federal highway funds is ridiculous because by having a fall back position he is then admitting to defeat. Owning private toll roads and bridges were common in the middle ages but now the public should own them since they utilize it the most. The owner of the Ambassador Bridge, Matty Maroun wants to make choices for the citizens of Michigan instead of having the government do so. Auto Transportion might be affected in multiple ways, both positive and negative. Snowbird vehicle transport would be at a standstill due to inflated prices. They would then delay the car shipping process to a later time, thus creating a jam in overall traffic. The political commentator for Michigan public radio, Jack Lessenberry doesn’t think that the bridge project will cost Michigan citizens anything. By bringing in half a billion dollars from Canada, creating 10,000 jobs, and attracting another half a billion dollars in federal highway money would fix the problem. However, the state Legislature opposed this and Gov. Snyder should hold them responsible. Any legislator who has gotten campaign contributions from the owner of the Ambassador Bridge should refrain from voting on this issue because it is a conflict of interest.

Snyder considering allowing counties to charge vehicle registration fees to raise money for roads

Gongwer News Service said that Gov. Rick Snyder's vehicle transportation plan is allowing counties and regions to charge auto registration fees as a way to raise money for roads and public transit. On Wednesday, Governor Snyder is supposed to talk about his infrastructure plan as well as talk about the daring changes on how the state funds and maintains its road network and public transit. Some people in Snyder’s group are saying that Michigan isn’t investing enough in its roads. Keith Ledbetter the legislative affairs director for the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association agrees and thinks that the state needs to double its $1.5 billion annual investment in order to provide the minimum level of maintenance. The plan would let counties or groups of counties to ask voters to support registration fees. It is projected to increase revenue without increasing the state's 19 cents per gallon gasoline tax or basing a tax on mileage. The vehicle registration fees are based on a percentage of the manufacturer's suggested retail price and vehicles produced prior to 1984 are based on weight. However, the problem with a gas tax is that revenue will decrease as cars become more fuel efficient. Car carriers would benefit because they would have better roads to drive on and less traffic to deal with in certain areas, thus reducing the time it takes to deliver a vehicle.

In Virginia, GOP double talk on transportation funding

Any major attempt to improve the car transportation network involves new funding and this has been addressed by many GOP candidates. One idea is for the state to get new income for transportation from offshore oil and gas drilling. However there are quite a few problems with this idea. First problem is the federal suspension on offshore drilling on the Atlantic seaboard. Another is that almost no exploration has been done in the area in 20 years. Even if Virginia tried this idea it would be at least five years before they saw any money from it. Another idea to come up with money is for Virginia to find money for transportation is to “reprioritizing” state spending. Some Republicans are saying that if the state won’t help that northern Virginia is going to have to figure out its transportation problem on its own. The plan is that northern Virginia will have to tax itself. The good thing is that the need for new taxes is known. This, however, would kind of shift the political risk for raising taxes from lawmakers in Richmond to local boards of supervisors. The major funding for transportation is gas taxes and the last time they were raised was in 1986. Auto carriers would be would then have to increase the cost of each item transported in order to compensate for the extra costs incurred.

Where's the plan to repair N.Y.'s roads and bridges?

There could be major accidents in New York because the state is spending less money to fix its highways and bridges. This possibility might be seen because of the analysis that was seen in the records of the state Department of Transportation. A plan to fix these bridges needs to be decided by Governor Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers. Car haulers would then be able to maneuver easily through the crowded cities. This would make auto shipping a more efficient means of open vehicle transportation than it already is. A five-year DOT plan that would have spent $26 billion for repairs was rejected by the 2009 Democratic- controlled state Legislature. About 80 percent of that money has been spent, and the state needs $250 billion in order to maintain its transportation and water systems. About $80 billion of that amount is unfunded. Sen. Chuck Schumer thinks that a National Infrastructure Bank to help states fund road and bridge projects should be created. However, the problem is that state and federal governments are financially stretched but if local governments were required to help with maintenance cost it could fix the problem. This is a good time for Cuomo and the state Legislature to come up with a solution to make the bridges and roads of New York stronger.

California Turns To China for New Bay Bridge

Over $7 billion is going to California’s, San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge which is going to be their newest bridge. The bridge is going to have a distinctive design to the Golden Gate Bridge. Bart Ney, a spokesman for the project said that it is going to be the world’s largest self-anchored suspension bridge. A classic suspension bridge is held up by cables strung between two towers much like a hammock. However, this bridge features a single tower and a single mile-long cable that drapes up and over the tower and supports the deck like a sling. New bridges only increse the car haulers ability to move quicker to locations. About five years ago is when the decision for the Bay Bridge started because a contractor offered different bids for the project. One proposing to do work domestically, one proposing to do the work internationally: Tony Anziano, a manager at the California Department of Transportation said that there was a $400 million differential in the bid and because of that it would have cause the work to go international. Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries which is a state-owned Chinese company took the steal contract job and they had many advantages such as modern production facilities, ships to deliver the steel and, of course, low-cost labor. The reason they didn’t go with an American steel company is because the steel doesn’t have capacity for a job like the Bay Bridge.
