Is this insurance fraud?

Mrs. Sandr

my husband and i rear ended someone at 2-4 mph,we hit their passenger corner with the our driver corner.
Now we are being billed fro $10,000 chiropractic bills for husband, wife and 2 toddlers. we received $1,000 bill for repair to the car but the estimate was only $300 (they took the car twice 6 month apart!) we are receiving $500 in maid bills.

it just seems drastic to me. taking kids to chiropractor, hiring a maid and taking the care to get fixed twice.

Answer
yeah. my fiance just went through this, actually. if the car repair place does not fix it correctly the first time, it is up to THEM (the car repair place), not you and your insurance, to fix it the second time. you paid to have it done right, it is not your fault that they didn't fix it right the first time. besides, the driver probably caused more damage to his car over the next few months, but that's not necessairly his fault if the car repair place didn't fix it right the first time. hiring a maid is in no way related to a car accident... what, are they going to start sending you their electric and water bills too? i suggest you go to your insurance agent's office pronto and get this sorted out. if they aren't being helpful, they might be ripping you off, in which case you'd better get yourself a lawyer. how can they possibly justify you paying their maid bills? it sounds like they are taking serious advantage of you, which is especially sad considering they have kids and are teaching them to pull crap like this. as far as the chiropractor bills are concerned, you deserve to know EXACTLY for what everyone is being treated, and you need documentation proving it is related to the accident. i was hit a few years back in a very minor accident, but i did sufffer some bad whiplash from it. but i just got some pain killers and it was gone within a couple days. the other person's insurance did have to cover the meds, but i didn't milk it for all it was worth. you need to step up and get documentation and proof of all this crap because it sounds like you are being cheated badly. if it turns out they are cheating you, you should not only be reimbursed, but you should also sue for the insurance fraud that caused you so much financial/emotional trouble.

is long haul truck driving a tough job?

electric cars for kids 12v image

sasa s

Answer
Can be. Like someone else said, if you have kids/family at home, it's hard to meet your family obligations when you're gone all the time. Most long-haul jobs want you gone a minimum of 2 weeks, and you can plan on being out a month at a time if you want to see any money. There are regional/local opportunities out there that make it easier to be home more, though.

If you're single, laid back and pretty flexible, it's not that bad. When I started I was single....I put all my stuff in storage and I'd stay out here 3-4 months at a time. I met my husband out here and we still do the same thing, only we're not as lonely/bored at times! We run hard for months and take our time off in 1-2 week "chunks" wherever we feel like it....if we want to go to Vegas or see the Grand Canyon, we schedule time off in that area, rent a car/hotel room and GO!

You don't have to eat in truck stops- there are 12V coolers and hot-plates that plug into your cigarette lighter. Or you can put an inverter in your truck (converts 12V into household current) so you can plug in a mini fridge, microwave, crock pot, electric grill....not to mention a TV/DVD/game system, etc. Most Wal-Marts on the road have truck access and you can do your grocery shopping there, fix meals on the road and eat much better (and cheaper!) than in the truck stops.

Some truck stops are clean and have decent showers, some of them are crap-holes. But you learn where to go and where to avoid. You can usually ask on the CB whether or not a place has decent showers....you may get a good answer, you may not. Just wear flip-flops in the shower and carry a spray-bottle of disinfectant cleaner to spritz the shower floor & surfaces if you're going somewhere that doesn't look so nice. The water's clean and it'll get YOU clean, and that's the main thing.

It's by no means a glamorous lifestyle....there is bad weather, traffic, idiot drivers, jerk dispatchers/shippers/recievers. There's breakdowns, delays, sitting-and-waiting for no-particular-reason. There's loneliness and boredom. There's the difficulty of finding medical care if you get sick. There's driving in the Northeast, LOL....or any big city for that matter, it can be a headache. You will have days where you wonder why in the world you picked this career.

But if you're lucky, you'll have other days where you see beautiful places, see interesting things, meet good people, and realize that you're lucky enough to be free from the 9-to-5 rat race that most people suffer through. You'll sit in rush hour traffic in Chicago, and realize that even though it's aggrevating, at least YOU don't have to sit in it EVERY SINGLE DAY on your way to work, like the poor schlubs in the cars all around you. You won't get to work and have some boss breathing down your neck, or obnoxious gossipy office workers playing games of office politics.

It's all in how you look at it, your preferences and your priorities. I love it, clearly other people hate it....all I can say is try it and see what you think.

DC Motor size for a project?

Greg Z

What size DC motor and controller should I use to power a small car (simmular to a Little Tikes Car) with a 200lb person in it? Please include all specs of the motor. Thanks.
try to keep it cheap

Answer
The power can be determined for several situations:
How fast to go when cruising, and the friction and wind load under this condition.
Maximum acceleration with weight of completely loaded vehicle.
Maximum climb rate with weight of vehicle.

If it is just walking pace and no grades and minimal acceleration, I would say 200W. The motor size will dictate battery size too. It will need gears to match the motor speed to the wheel RPM. If you intend to run with this size motor and a 12V battery it needs to be a large 12V x 60-100AH battery to work well, though that will run for quite a few hours. A bigger motor is better with a 24V battery, and more as it gets bigger still.

Usually these things are determined empirically - experience with other similar vehicles determines what is satisfactory. It is best to look at similar ride on cars. Some kids cars may be more like 50W with a small battery but that doesn't work for long or well.

Consider electric disability/mobility scooters. These are only expected to run on flat hard surfaces, an the sizes mentioned above are something like the top end of these. I expect golf scooters are more powerful as they are intended to run on grass with grades. The third link shows an electric wheelchair for tough conditions with almost 1KW of motor power.
Motors will be specified for RPM and mechanical power in watts (the torque can be calculated from that. They are also specified for voltage to provide this RPM and maximum allowable current. Other important considerations are the cooling (if it has a fan it may not be able to run slowly without overheating), the gears built in or how to mount gears, bearing life, waterproof. Mobility and other scooters mentioned are often available second hand, and would be a good source of all the parts you need. You also need a speed controller and a battery charger to suit, and probably wheels and steering., axles etc.

The links below might give some ideas.
