International Classic Car Informer

International Classic Car Informer (ICCI) was started by semi professional classic car restorer and racer Tim Llewellyn in the UK. It is intended to become the best source of supplier business contacts for both professionals and amateurs alike in the classic car world.

Like many, he found that while comfortable locating the parts and services he used regularly, he found he wasted endless time chasing down more obscure items on the internet, or finding good local suppliers to replace ones that were gone. Whilst the regular search engines are excellent at many searches they can be ineffective and inefficient when trying to locate items whose names are used in other contexts, or for more obscure items. In particular if the items related to a car which was made and predominantly used in another country. Too many simple searches were ending up with countless irrelevant results, or were in a language he could not understand.

After talking to many contacts in the trade, it was felt there was need for a good global online database with a search facility that is intuitive and that will give more accurate results than the other databases on the internet. Special Interest Database Company (SIDC) was thus formed to develop a series of global databases for special interest groups such as those with interests in classic cars. ICCI will never be perfect as a search facility, but SIDC intend it to be the best there is, and every user's search results will relate to classic cars.

It was felt there was a need to design this database with an old car enthusiast's mentality rather than simply being built by a computer programmer. Thus SIDC brought in fellow car enthusiast and computer expert Gus Gingell to help build the team working with SIDC to develop and run this database.

SIDC pride themselves in trying to make this not only the best, but most useful and comprehensive classic car database on the internet for both amateur and professional users to find the product or service they seek. It should also be the most cost effective forum for classic car businesses to promote what they do.

Guide to Tiredness at the Wheel

Covers:

• The most common causes of driving fatigue

• The impacts on brain function and ability to drive when tired

• Advice for staying awake while driving

• The legal implications of falling asleep while tired

Our research found that:

• Tiredness is one of the biggest killers in driving accidents. In 2019, 1,738 people lost their lives on UK roads – 300 of those deaths were as a result of someone falling asleep while driving.

• Young drivers are arguably the most at risk, with 29% stating they have started a journey when already feeling tired.

• To combat this, awareness of the effects of driving while tired needs to be increased. Driving after 24 hours awake has the same impact on the brain as someone with a blood alcohol content of 0.1%, above the 0.08% legal limit in the UK.
