Quad Bike - ATV Security

!±8± Quad Bike - ATV Security

Datatag And iTrack

Data tag and data tool have been around in the motorcycle industry for many years and with great success returning 100's of machines back to their rightful owners. But just because the advertised in the motorcycle sector it doesn't mean that the system will not work on Quad Bikes or ATV's for that matter. Any item of value can be datataged which means that even Buggies and Minimotos could be tagged too.

Datatag were started in the 1990's with the thought of making a reduction in theft and placing the bias back into the owners hands. The system was designed with a small transmitter that would be buried onto a machine and then could be picked up if scanned by someone who had a receiver. These receivers were only available to police forces. So should the police have cause to scan a vehicle like a motorcycle or agricultural machinery then even if the identification on the machine had been removed then the transmitter/transponder would send the correct signal back to the receiver confirming the identity of the item.

Only recently a piece of plant and machinery that was hired from an A-Plant Hire Centre in the UK. The skid-steer was stolen from the midlands and quickly shipped from the UK to Gibraltar and then carried across the Mediterranean Sea and down through the Suez Canal to Oman where it was unloaded and trucked into Sharjah, in the UAE.

UK police worked tirelessly with international authorities making sure that the vehicle was kept under surveillance until they arrived. The men that were caught in possession of the vehicle were quickly arrested and charged with handling stolen goods. The datatag system was used to give clarification to the police that the item was in fact the one stolen from the uk.

The data-tag system can be placed on any expensive item and is recommended by most leading insurance companies in the UK for Plant and Machinery as well as Motorcycles and Quad Bikes. There is a substantial discount package available to people who have Datatag installed on to their machines and this is then transferred to a new owner should the vehicle ever been sold.

Unfortunately these systems are not like some of the conventional tracking devices that can be moved from one vehicle to another and have complete permanent fixture to the vehicle once installed.

i-Track is a PGS based system which again is fitted by Datatool UK. The system much like any other in it's class will show up an a screen if you ever need to find your machine if it has been stolen. As well as this it uses the mobile GSM Global Network via the masting system. This allows iTrack to constantly confirm the whereabouts of the machine as a secondary confirmation.

Below you will find some of the key areas that Datatag have insisted are big selling points with their system and, knowing the GPS market I would agree that everything seems to be covered.
Probably the smallest and most compact commercial tracking system available increasing options for covert fitment. Rechargeable internal battery back up in case the main power supply is disconnected i.e. the vehicle battery. iTrack will advise if vehicle battery or internal battery level is running low keeping your vehicle covered at all times. The most advanced movement detection system immediately alerts Datatag in case of unauthorised movement. Automatically sets a "Geographical Fence" or "Invisible Security Fence" around the vehicle and raises an alarm if the vehicle or property leaves this secure area without consent or permission. Lower battery drain than any other system currently on the market. Mud and waterproof - capable of working in the harshest of conditions means it's ideal for Quads, Agri, MX Bikes, ATV's and Buggies. iTrack is future proof - It can be upgraded to the latest UK Thatcham Category 5 status using the Keyless "Smartcard" operating system.

And looking at all of those Unique Selling Points I'm sure you would feel pretty confident that should your Quad Bike or ATV ever go missing, that you would be paired up again very soon.

Driving in Snow

!±8± Driving in Snow

Driving in snowy conditions presents many challenges, and it is essential that you and your car are prepared for these.

Your car needs to be correctly maintained to maximise safety. There are a few simple steps you can take to lessen the risks when driving on snow covered roads.

Car Preparation

Battery: In winter the battery in your car will run down more quickly than in the summer months. Heaters, lights and wipers all put extra strain on the battery. Most batteries will last around 5 years in modern cars, but giving your vehicle a long run or trickle charging your battery will help to keep you moving.

Antifreeze: A 50-50 mix of anti freeze and water in the cooling system is required during the winter months. Most modern cars use long life anti freeze and this must not be mixed with other types of antifreeze. If you are not sure which antifreeze to use please consult your dealer.

Screen wash: Grit and salt on the roads cause the windscreen to become dirty very quickly, reducing visibility and making driving difficult. Keep screen wash topped up in the correct concentration to prevent freezing.

Tyres: Ensure your tyres are in good condition - a minimum tread of 3mm is recommended for winter driving. Maintain the manufacturers recommended tyre pressure to ensure maximum stability.

The use of snow chains or snow socks will improve traction, braking and steering considerably. They are very useful to keep in the vehicle as they can be fitted quickly and easily when you come into contact with snow covered roads. They must be removed when you return to a tarmac surface. Buy snow chains from a specialist supplier to ensure you get a correct fit.

Driving in Snow

When driving in snow it is important to drive in a steady, gentle manner. Keep speeds slow and steady - going too fast means you risk losing control, but going too slow means you may lose momentum when you need it.

Brake, steer and accelerate as smoothly as possible. Braking distances will be increased by up to 10 times normal distances, you must make allowance for this. Be aware that your brakes will not respond as you expect and use engine braking as much as possible. ABS braking will also be as affected so use your gears to reduce speeds. If you need to use your brakes be prepared for the vehicle to skid. Hold the steering wheel firmly and if your car does not have ABS then 'pump' the brakes rather than using a single motion.

When approaching a downhill section reduce your speed before you begin your descent. Do not let your speed increase as you descend as it is very difficult to regain control of your speed in that situation.

What to do if you get stuck in snow:

When driving in the winter a few simple precautions can make a huge difference if you find yourself stuck in the snow. Keep the following items in your car:

Spare warm clothing or a blanket

Food

Water

Mobile phone

Keep yourself warm by running the car engine. This should only be done for 15 minutes per hour and it is essential the exhaust pipe is not blocked by snow, as this could cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
