Emissions Testing & Registration Renewals in Utah [2018]

Posted on by

What happens if I’m caught without proper registration for my vehicle?

First off, let’s talk penalties for those first-time vehicle owners or anyone just needing a refresher.

By the time you got your license, you’d probably seen police officers pulling people over on TV often enough that the phrase, “License and registration, please” started to sound like a cliché. But don’t take it for granted, as many new drivers do, if on the first time you’re ever pulled over in a friend or parent’s car, you manage to find that elusive piece of paper in the glove box. Someone had to go through the trouble of putting it there, and now that you have a vehicle of your own, that someone is you. Here’s what you stand to lose if proof of registration isn’t available when a police officer asks you for it.

As of May 12, 2015, driving without registration was classified in Utah as a class C misdemeanor with a minimum fine of $1,000! This fine can be reduced to $200, however, if proof of registration is given at the time of the hearing, and if the vehicle had not gone unregistered for more than a year. But why play those odds? That’s still $200 you could’ve spent on something else. Worst case scenario: you could have your car impounded.

Before January 1st, 2018, Utah was among 16 states that required annual safety inspections for personal passenger vehicles, but no longer. These inspections checked off the status of things like brakes, headlights, and windshields, but the legislation, passed in March of 2017, is projected to save Utah drivers as much as $25 million a year, since drivers are no longer required by law to get those things fixed in order to register their vehicles.

How Temperature Affects Tire Inflation

Posted on by

Owners of tire shops knew that tires can easily get deflated as soon as fall comes. This is because the outside temperature has some impact on tire pressure. When the temperature is high, gas particles tend to move freely and swiftly causing the tire air pressure to go up. However, when the temperature cools down, these particles move very slowly causing a drop in the tire’s inflation. Know more about this situation through this infographic.

  1. The air pressure of the tire can go low for about 1-2 psi for every 10 degrees change (low) in the temperature.
  2. However, whenever you drive the car, it is warmed up that can increase the air pressure for 1psi for every five minutes in the first 15-20 minutes of your travel time.

Are You A Business Owner Or Manager And Experiencing That Lonely Feeling At The Top?

Posted on by

Being a business owner is the ultimate dream of many people these days. Aside from the independence from the corporate setting it offers, most budding entrepreneurs also think that running their own company will provide them with more time to pursue their personal interests as well as to have more time with their loved ones. However, these are often not the case.

The constant pressure to produce results, along with the prejudice that they can always figure out things on their own has made many business owners feel alone at the top – this despite all their success and endearment that surrounds them.

If you’re a business owner and feeling this way, check out this infographic from Business Coaches Sydney which details some tips to avoid feeling lonely at the top.

Driving While Texting Laws By State

Posted on by

With distracted driving becoming a leading cause of teen driver accidents, we decided to create this infographic to help new drivers become aware of the dangers associated with driving while texting.
Every day in the United States, more than 9 people are killed in crashes involving a distracted driver, and 1,060 people are injured in crashes involving distracted drivers. About 3,300 people are killed in crashes involving a distracted driver each year, and 18 percent of crashes in which someone is injured involves a distracted driver.
There are three main types of driving distractions. The first is visual, in which a driver takes his or her eyes off the road. Another are manual distractions, which involve a driver, taking his or her hands off the wheel. Cognitive distractions occur when the driver takes his or her focus off of driving.
Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous (and contributing) factors to automobile crashes and fatalities. Texting while driving combines all three types of distractions; it takes a driver’s attention and visual focus away from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. At 55 mph, that’s the equivalent of driving the length of an entire football field, distracted!
By raising awareness of this important issue, we hope to do our part in helping drivers understand the importance of remaining focused and safe on the road.
