A question arises from time to time weather professional F1 drivers wear prescription glasses during a race? Some of them did. The 1997 F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve and Sebastian Bourdais wore sunglasses during a f1 race. Italian driver from the 70’s, Andrea de Adamich, wore glasses with large black frames. The choice of many drivers, like Timo Glock, Giancarlo Fisichella and Ralf Schumacher, wore contact lenses. A small danger in driving might occur when using contact lenses. Driving in high speed, the air that comes through the helmet can dry the lenses, and high lateral G-force on the corners can move the lenses in the eyes. It is likely that the drivers used varifocal prescription glasses instead of bifocal prescription glasses which are mostly used for reading. The difference between varifocal and bifocal spectacles is that the former is used for better focus, while the later is mostly for reading. The lenses are separated in two part, the upper part for distance and lower part for closer look up. Imagine a driver using bifocal prescription glasses where he uses the lower part of the glasses to see the buttons on the steering wheel, quite humorous. Continue reading

Keith Moon is one of the most famous rock and roll drummers of all time, and the story of him driving a car into a swimming pool is one of the most retold, infamous stories in rock history. Many people believe that this incident was the catalyst for the outrageous behaviour of many rock stars since that date, setting the bar for the rest of the bands out there.

But did it really happen? Many people now dismiss the famous story as folklore, suggesting that it never actually took place and rather was simply used as part of the bands’ mythology. There is a huge amount of debate between rock historians as to whether or not a young Keith Moon pulled off this stunt in a US hotel – I want to look at if it happened, how it happened and what car the young drummer decided to drive.

Top 7 reasons to use a mobile car detailing service

I remember that as a child I loved going through the car wash. All the whirling machinery, rhythmic sounds, and bubbles-a-plenty invoked a real sense of wonderment in my little mind. But now that I’m an adult I’ve found new and better things that excite, so I prefer to let the car wash come to me whilst I get on with life as a grown-up.

Mobile car detailing provides us with a modern-day convenience that is just too good to ignore. It’s a service that brings very many benefits, but there are seven primary ones that stand out as the real deal makers. Hence, this post is devoted to the top seven reasons to use a mobile car detailing service.

1. Cars are ubiquitous
Cars are a big part of our lives, especially in Western cultures. In fact, it has been reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics that in 2003 there were 10.4 million registered cars and station wagons in the country, when the population was at 19.8 million people. Now that the Australian population is estimated to have reached 22.4 million people in 2010, we can extrapolate out the growth in cars and station wagons to arrive at a current estimate of 11.8 million vehicles, and this doesn’t even include trucks and motorcycles. That’s an average of one car for every 1.89 people, or to put it another way – it’s a lot of cars!

A particular case in developing eyewear is making bifocal glasses, even trifocal. which they have 2, respectively 3 different kinds of lenses in a single pair of glasses, requiring a conscious refocusing every time you want to use the other lens.
