Clarence, please help to "decorate" the blog with tag boards, song related to road accident and weather (LOL).... and just make the blog look good ... but not cool...
Thanks in advance,

PS I hope you can find a background for the blog that is something to do with road accidents and/or weather... It will be the best if you find something like a sports car in the rain or something like that....

Facts
What I know
Tires become worn out after a period of time due to friction. It becomes a danger as it can cause vehicles to skid of their path and surely, someone would get injured.
Ideas
What I think
Friction can be a nuisance or a help to us. If we can make tires that would get worn out less easily, it would be great and there would be lesser road accidents.
Learning Issues
What i want to find out
I want to find out if maybe plastic can be used to make tires.
Action plan
What I can do
I can make a prototype plastic tire and test it out on a tamiya car and see whether it will slide here and there.

Edmund Mong (08) Reflections
Facts
What I know
There will be more accidents during the raining season, since the road will be extremely slippery, and causes road accident especially if the driver speeds during the raining season.
Ideas
What I think
Rain causes more road accident than normal as the frictions between the road and the car tyre and the road is very less. If there is more friction, the tyre would worn out very easily and it must be change frequently.
Learning Issues
What i want to find out
If there is a way to increase the friction between the road and the car tyre without making the tyre worn out easily.
Action plan
What I can do
Find out more about The relationship between road accidents and weather on the internet.
