Seat’s latest Ibiza has been a major hit, proving both desirable and affordable. Its snappy looks, practibility around town and range of engine sizes are some of the reasons the Ibiza is a popular choice for those in the market.

The range of engines that are on offer with the Ibiza have been dubbed “a little confusing” by some, as long as you know what you want to start with though, it shouldn’t prove too daunting.

The petrol engines available are 1.2, 1.4 and a 1.8T. The first two have a nice sporty sound and are good performers round town, while remaining relatively economical. Up from this there is the 1.8T, which along with the diesel 1.4 and 1.9 TDI offer considerable pulling power, making overtaking a breeze – even in 4th!

Overall the Ibiza handles very well, with the smaller engines not offering as much enjoyment as their larger counterparts. Round corners, the Ibiza feels very confident, with little body roll. Although the stiffer suspension does offer a “sportier” drive, it can prove slightly uncomfortable on less than perfect roads.

The cabin is relatively airy, although the curved back offers less headroom in the rear. The boot offers a modest 267 litres and although there is a 60/40 split on the backseats, its practicality is hampered.

Equipment wise the Ibiza is pretty well stocked. The range starts with “Reference”, which comes with electric windows, remote central locking and ABS. Moving up from this sees the addition of the usual “extras”, with the range toping “Cupra” adding electronic brake assist, 17-inch alloy wheels and SEAT Racing brakes.

If you’re on the look out for a car that isn’t going to empty your wallet, then the Ibiza may be the perfect option, with cheap car insurance premiums generally being the norm. It scored an excellent four out of five on Euro NCAP’s safety tests and all models are kitted out with twin airbags, deadlocks and an immobiliser.

If you opt for one of the smaller engines, the Ibiza can also work out very economical, this coupled with its low CO2 emissions further help bring down motor insurance and tax costs.

1. BMX racing with that bad back.

2. Skiing on that bad leg.

3. Mountain climbing with that neck injury.

4. Snowboarding with that knee pain.

5. Motocross racing with that wrist sprain.

6. Snowmobile racing with back pain.

7. Sled dog racing with a migraine.

8. Running on two bad knees.

9. Rock climbing with a fractured hand.

10. Avoiding going to see a doctor for that swollen ankle.

Now here are ten useful tips of advice from a motorcycle accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident.

Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

Seventh, call a good motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most motorcycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

If you’ve had a motorcycle accident in Carson, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Long Beach, Venice, Santa Monica, Camarillo, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oxnard, Brentwood, Cambria or San Luis Obispo, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Carson Motorcycle Accident Lawyer and your Torrance Motorcycle Accident Attorney. Be sure to hire a California law firm with auto, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, car, bus, train, boat and airplane accident experience, wrongful death experience and insurance law expertise who can ensure you are properly represented and get the compensation you deserve.
