Chevrolet unveiled five dramatic Camaro concepts at the annual automotive aftermarket extravaganza known as the SEMA Convention, each representing a different vision of style, personalization and performance. The Camaro concept vehicles include: A race-ready, twin-turbocharged V-6 concept built for talk show host and auto enthusiast Jay Leno.

Powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L direct injected V-6 that is standard in Camaro LS and LT models, Leno's Camaro blends high performance with surprising efficiency in a racing-ready package. A pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers blows through a custom air-to-air intercooler, force-feeding the engine about seven pounds of boost and lifting its horsepower level to about 425. That's about 40 percent greater than stock and in normal driving (when the turbochargers aren't making boost), there's virtually no penalty in fuel economy over the non-turbocharged 3.6L engine.

"Jay's Camaro offers style, performance and efficiency in a big way," said Dewar. "It delivers the power of a Camaro SS on demand, but with the fuel economy of a V-6."

Supporting upgrades for the turbo system include a larger-capacity Be-Kool radiator and a custom exhaust system, as well as a Centerforce-supplied clutch and pressure plate for the six-speed manual transmission. The tubing for the turbo system is powder-coated blue. The powertrain was designed to deliver consistent, controllable power for both the street and race track. In fact, road racing was a primary mission for the car during its development.

Additional vehicle also support its racing intent:

* Brembo six-piston brake package
* Pedders coil-over lowering kit
* New front fascia with custom fog lamps and integral brake cooling vents
* Air extractor-style hood

The exterior styling of Leno's car is the most radical of all the Camaro concepts at SEMA. The front fascia and hood are one-off creations, as are the unique upper and lower grilles and the ground effects package (including a rear diffuser). The heritage-inspired vent styling in front of the rear wheels has been replaced with functional brake cooling ducts.

Refresher on Traffic signs/rules..

Mandatory / Regulatory Signs

Information Signs

Cautionary Signs

ADVICE TO TWO-WHEELERS -

Take care you are the most vulnerable on the road.

Two wheelers occupy less road space, consume less fuel and hardly damage roads. All plus points. But, unfortunately, there are many irresponsible two wheeler riders. For you and for other road users, driving can be pleasant if the following rules observed.

ADVICE TO CAR DRIVERS -

Think of pedestrians and cyclists, particularly in bad weather.

You are one of the privileged few who own cars in our country. It is a great convenience. You can make driving a joy by observing a few simple rules when you are behind the wheel.

A GOOD DRIVER IS ALWAYS

CONSIDERATE -
towards pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers. Tries not to frighten them by approaching at a threatening speed. Does not blow horn and add to the high level of noise in the city. Does not use headlights at full beam and blind the on-coming drivers.

COURTEOUS -
by giving way to the traffic on the right; by slowing down to allow pedestrians to cross the road; does not show impatience by repeatedly blowing horn or threatening gestures; by helping another driver in distress.

SAFE -
doesn't overspeed; doesn't overtake recklessly; keeps his vehicle in good condition; follows lane discipline; observes traffic signals and parking restrictions.

Tips on Good Driving - Traffic Do's & Don'ts

Do's & Don'ts
Dos	Don'ts
• Do dip your headlights while behind another vehicle or approaching it • Do drive slowly in rain fog • Do give way to traffic on your right • Do get the emission TEST done periodically • Do maintain your vehicle in good condition • Do allow space for vehicles for free left turn - do not block the left lane at junctions where free left is permitted • Do slow down when taking a curve • Do not decorate your vehicle with garlands and buntings - they restrict your vision and divert attention of other drivers • Do carry copies of your driving license and registration certificate at all times	• Do not use horn except to avert danger • Do not use headlights on well-lit roads • Do not use headlights on full beam on city roads • Do not weave between traffic lanes • Do not drive under influence of liquor • Do not park in "no parking" areas • Do not park more than 15 CMS from the pavement

Negotiating Turns

LEFT TURN

• Ensure that the turning path is clear and no one is coming up behind you on your left • Give the left and signal by hand or indicator • Keep as close to the left as possible - just before during and after turn • After completing the turn, slowly and smoothly merge with the traffic RIGHT TURN

• Make sure that the traffic behind is at a safe distance • Give the right hand signal and gradually slow down • Leave as much room as possible for other vehicles to pass on your left, and take a position just left of the middle of the road. • As soon as you find a safe gap between you and the coming traffic make turn swiftly but safely
