A bad hub bearing can make funny noise (moans, chirps, squeals) or ghost vibrations at sporadic points during the drive. This will reduce driver concentration and leads to crashes and near-crashes.

Parents are very worried about their teenagers during weekend nights. However, statistics from the American Automobile Association (AAA) say that the number of teenagers getting involved in car crashes is also high during after school hours. In fact, the organization does even say that compared with weekend nights, the number for after school hours crashes are more or less the same.
Robert L. Darbelnet, the president and CEO of AAA does say that, “Parents are right to be worried about their novice teen drivers being on the road during the high risk evening and late night hours when most state licensing programs correctly limit teen driving. But parents also need to be engaged in their teens’ driving activities during the after school hours when so many teens are on the road and, tragically, many are involved in deadly crashes.” He does even further explain, “Many after school teen trips – driving to part time jobs and home from sports and other activities – are appropriate as teen drivers gain experience. Yet during these unstructured hours between the end of school and when parents get home from work, many teens do dangerous things behind the wheel in cars loaded with passengers.”
Worrying is one thing that parents are in the habit of. Despite loading their vehicles with the top notch Daihatsu body parts to add to the security and safety of their cars and vehicles, most car crashes are actually due to the kind of behavior drivers have behind the wheel.
Crash data from the automobile organization also do say that between the hours 3pm and 5pm, there are as much sixteen year olds and seventeen year olds who are involved in crashes that are quite fatal. In fact, in specific numbers, for the year 2002 up until 2005, there were about 1,100 crashes during after school hours and some 1,237 for weekend night crashes.
The very reason for such a high number is that such hours are when there is quite a huge amount of traffic on the roads and streets. Not only are the teenagers on the roads, but there is also a huge amount of commuters and other people making their trips before heading out for home.

Do you believe if I say driver distractions are playing a vital role in most vehicle crashes and near-crashes?
According to a study released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), 80% of crashes and 65% of near-crashes involve some form of driver distraction.
According to the NHTSA and VTTI study, the major reasons cause distracted driving and lead to vehicle crashes are:
• cell phone use.
• reaching for a moving object inside the vehicle.
• reading.
• looking at an object or event outside of the vehicle.
• applying makeup.
Here are few steps you can practice to avoid distractions.
1.Do not answer mobile phone while driving. When you are answering the mobile you will not hear emergency warning sounds around the driving environment. Also the conversation may catch your attention. Soon you will loose the concentration on driving. Pull off the road and answer you mobile.
2.Do not read while driving. Reading needs high concentration. Hence you will have less concentration on driving.
3.Do not apply makeup while driving. You can do those stuff at the office or home. If you forget to do so, why don’t you wait until you reach your destination?
4.Do not eat or drink while driving. Getup early and have a meal.
5.Put seat belts to children. Then you don’t have to worry about them playing around.
6.Don’t drink and drive.
7.Keep your vehicle in good condition. Noises and vibrates make you frustrated and distracted.
8.Avoid lighting up or putting out cigarettes, or dealing with falling ashes while driving.
9.Concentration on driving. Yes, there are pretty girls on the road. Let them go.
