Are Quad Bikes Road Legal and If So Do They Need Insurance?
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 29, 2009 – Quad Bikes are becoming ever popular with teenage males as an alternative mode of transportation to the usual scooter or moped. These four wheeled pocket rockets are very robust and quite often very powerful, and so are a becoming a very fashionable item. Designed as an off-road means of transport, they are now commonly seen on the road.
However, are they legally able to be used on the road? And if so, do they require the same legal documents that a scooter or moped would require, such as insurance, tax and an MOT?
Most Quads are designed to be purely used on private property or licensed events. To use one on the road it will require the same basic features that a bike or scooter poses to pass an MOT. This includes; headlights, indicators, rear and brake lights, mirrors, speedometer and number plates. The rider must also, by law wear a motorcycle helmet at all times and be over the age of 17. These items can either be fitted to off-road quad bikes, in which case the work would have to be carried out by a professional company and passed by an MOT centre, or road legal quad bikes can now be purchased.
As far as legal documents are concerned, the law states that quad bikes require the same documentation as any other road vehicle. This entails being registered with the DVLA, having a valid MOT certificate, full motorcycle driving licence, road tax and insurance. Gaining insurance for quad bikes can be quite challenging if you go to a generic insurer. Some are very reluctant to quote because of the niche nature of the machines. A good idea is to try a specialist quad bike insurer such as Bike Sure who have enough information to give a well rounded quote.
In conclusion, quad bikes can legally be used on UK roads as long as the laws are followed. As with all things, a person can have many years of happy riding if safety is adhered to.

DT Research Deploys Digital Signage at Beijing International Airport
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 27, 2009 – SAN JOSE, Calif., - DT Research™, Inc., an industry leader in the development of information appliances for vertical markets, today announced the installation of the WebDT SA3000 based on the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor, the latest in their line of signage appliances, at the Beijing International Airport. In a press conference today in Beijing, top executives from DT Research, Intel Corporation, and AirMedia will announce the deployment and showcase their digital signage technology.
As the busiest airport in Asia, based on scheduled seat capacity, the Beijing airport hosts a highly desirable target audience. AirMedia will deploy 600 of the SA3000 signage appliances to deliver dynamic, quickly updatable advertising content shown on 82” and 108” displays to the over-150,000 travelers who pass through the airport every day.
Dr. Daw Tsai, president of DT Research, noted, “As one of the busiest airports in the world, it is imperative to provide this technologically savvy audience with the best possible performance. Intel’s Core platform enabled us to deliver a state-of-the-art signage appliance for the AirMedia network. Not only does the WebDT SA3000 offer enhanced processing performance, but it has low power consumption and runs cooler than comparable systems.”
“Low power Intel Core 2 Duo processors are ideal for high-performance signage appliances,” said Joe Jensen, Intel’s General Manager of the Embedded Computing Division. “Integrating Intel® architecture into digital signage application designs, such as the WebDT SA3000, enables a top-quality, optimal visual experience for a sophisticated market.”
With the WebDT Content Manager software system, available with the WebDT Signage Appliances, AirMedia is able to remotely manage the content displayed in the airport. Administrators at AirMedia offices off-site can schedule playlists, set up content layouts, update last minute changes, and provide proof-of-play for their customers.
AirMedia’s newest digital signage network will be installed in Beijing Airport’s recently built Terminal 3, with the first installment in the baggage claim area, and the second phase at the entrance gates for the domestic and international departure halls.
The WebDT SA3000 by DT Research features the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded operating system, and full high-definition resolution, up to 1920x1080. With options for wireless networking, the SA3000 supports major media file formats, real-time or scheduled content playback, flexible screen layouts with multiple zones and layers, and automatic content download recovery. When connected to a display, the WebDT Signage Appliance is ready to deliver timely, targeted communications to capture an audience’s attention at key decision-making locations.

Celtic Campervans.com: Your Online Resource for Planning a Self-Drive Holiday in Ireland
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 27, 2009 – CelticCampervans.com has a wealth of useful tips and information on where to go and what to see among the massive variety of attractions and beauty spots which Ireland has to offer.
Camper hire in Ireland is a hugely popular way to see the country, and Celtic Campervans has been spearheading this method of travel for over three decades. Offering freedom and flexibility that few other types of holiday can match, campervan rental in Ireland has become a favourite way to explore the Emerald Isle for families, gap-year travellers, honeymooners and festival-goers alike.
The self-drive holiday in Ireland page on CelticCampervans.com helps you plan your trip; particularly helpful when faced with the multitude of options Ireland offers the holiday-maker or traveller. Choose from famous sights such as the Blarney stone and the Giant’s Causeway, natural beauty spots like the Cliffs of Moher and The Ring of Kerry, or a tour of the cultural delights, from art galleries and museums to culinary hotspots. There are so many sides of Ireland to enjoy, far more than its relatively diminutive size would suggest: the Ireland of rich history; the Ireland of breathtaking natural beauty; the Ireland of tradition and folklore; the Ireland of cosmopolitan culture; the Ireland of epicurean delights.
It was Ireland’s tourism that was of primary interest to two of Celtic Campervans’ latest customers to book a self-drive holiday. RTÉ’s Radio 1 Morning Ireland programme sent two reporters – John Murray and Cian McCormack – on a tour of Ireland in a 2-6 berth Celtic Campervan to report on the current state of tourism. On their first day, before setting off to Tramore in County Waterford, John and Cian spoke to Stephen Bradshaw, Managing Director of Celtic Campervans, who showed them round their spacious motorhome equipped with all the mod cons. The reporters went on to ask Stephen how Celtic
Campervans were finding this season to be shaping up given the reported drop in tourism. Stephen explained that although the season was more unpredictable than in previous years, with job uncertainty meaning fewer people were planning ahead for their holiday then before, Celtic Campervans were still seeing a very healthy number of bookings. It certainly seems that self-drive holidays in Ireland, especially in campervans, are still just as popular as ever and bookings in this area don’t reflect any reported drop in tourism.
When you take a Celtic Campervan around Ireland, the only limitation is your imagination. Get started by stoking your inspiration at CelticCampervans.com, and ask yourself: what side of Ireland do you want to experience? For inspiration, a wealth of information and seasonal offers, visit www.celticcampervans.com.
