Does it make sense for the police to send videos of irregular motorists?

Our reader asks

Dear Leader!

Let’s pour clear water into the glass when sending the on-board camera footage to the police! Barom commits X. I will upload the recording from X anywhere not publicly, I will send a link to the relevant police station by email.

A police officer sees a violation of the rules, a duty laid down by law to act. What happens next? How much time does the cop have? Why do they never respond in life? How many such notifications were received in 2020 and how many cases were dealt with? Will my data be released to the offender? Should I call the offender for confrontation? etc.…

Dear writer!

“A report is any form of communication, not brought to the attention of the authority, which contains facts or data suggesting a crime or irregularity committed by a specific or unknown person. Reporting is a right for anyone, which can be done by a legal and natural, known and “unknown, anonymous” person. ” (www.police.hu)

For certain violations, unauthenticated e.g. dash cam recording cannot be used, but it can be used for most violations, provided that the identity of the perpetrator can be unequivocally identified from the recording. In our view, an appropriate infringement procedure or administrative procedure should have been initiated on the basis of a letter containing a specific description of the perpetrator’s identity and prosecution.

If you are not a victim of the act, you will not receive any further information and notice. However, they were still able to proceed with the proceedings.

Is the aging Suzuki replaced by a larger Korean?

Our reader asks

Yours sincerely, Mr. Varga.

I am the owner of a 2006 Suzuki Swift, the car is really free but we want to rejuvenate. Hyundai I40 has been singled out.

We drive approximately 40 kilometers daily. Please ask for your opinion on the type, its faults, be it petrol or diesel? The car I looked at with a 2012 vintage diesel ran 354,000 thousand miles.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Dear László!

The Hyundai I40 can be a great choice for reliability with either a petrol or diesel engine.

For gasoline engines, a timing chain tensioner failure or a timing chain elongation is a problem. A factory replacement period is not specified; if it rings, it must be replaced as soon as possible.

Even with diesels, there are only the usual diesel crumbs: Carburetor, high-pressure pump, turbo… Dual-mass flywheel is not yet available in the 2012 models, so it is a fuss less. The fuel system is BOSCH, therefore their repair or renovation is not a technical problem. In the cabin, the radio tends to rumble and the immobilizer likes to forget the key. The steering gear has a hard time bearing the road conditions in Hungary, so you can knock ahead of time.

Beyond these, the I40 is also not perpetuum mobile, so anything else can happen. There are plenty of former taxis on offer either from home or abroad. I suggest you check with a professional before buying.

Are we replacing the Passat?

Our reader asks

Dear Tibor Varga!

I would like to ask your opinion on car replacement. We live in a small town, the family is 5 people, so I bought a Volkswagen Passat B5 1.9 TDI AFN 110Le station wagon in 2013, because we could fit in it comfortably and it could absorb many packages.

Many times we went on longer trips together and performed in our daily lives as well. Now, in 2020, I started to think about whether to replace it, because even the youngest child is 18 years old, the other 2 children no longer live at home, we go much farther far (about 5-6 times a year), even then almost only 2 -I.

It is mainly used by my wife (95%) for city (work, shopping…). I have next to me a 2001 old 1.3 + LPG Suzuki swift for a second car in town. My question would be whether to replace the Passat e.g. a gasoline Suzuki Ignisre v. For Honda Jazz (would my wife use it) or keep the Passat while he goes? There is really no problem with the car, there is very minimal rust.

Thanks for your response!
Joseph.

Dear Joseph!

This is primarily not a technical issue, but a size and budget. If you are happy with the Passat and it is in good condition, it is the cheapest to keep. The B5 Passat can only be sold for buttons, the next car needs to be rewritten and put in order. Suzuki will not consume less either and you already have another Suzuki in the family. Of course, buying a car isn’t just about math. If it’s too big, difficult to park with, or would have to spend too much on, it’s better to sell and buy a smaller car.

You can also find parts for the Passat demolition anywhere and a small car will never be as comfortable as a German whale, but its chassis is quite expensive to maintain. Almost anything is cheap for the Suzuki and as simple as woods, but he likes to fuck, just like the older Jazz.

The bottom line, then, is that they may not be better off replacing the car, but for practical reasons, it may be worth releasing the Passat.
