Good news is that they can enjoy the ride as a co-rider. So how do you
secure their safety? Here are some pointers to follow.
Motorcycle Apparel
Just like the adults, kids need superior protection. Moreover, you have to make them wear quality gears that are especially catered to kids. Helmets, gloves, boots, denim or chaps and so on.
Another apparel to consider is the eyewear. Studies have shown that children who earlier started wearing eye protection while engaging in outdoors have better chances of avoiding major eye health problems later in life. To be sure that you are getting quality lens, try polycarbonate plastic lenses that block 99-100% of both UVA and UVB.
The comfort of the passenger should not be overlooked. It is not the driver’s comfort that should be solely considered. It has to be both the passenger and the driver. Solid support should be given to the head, feet and the central part of the body. These parts are likely to suffer more than other body parts.
Understanding the Co-rider’s Rules
Make your kids understand the co-rider’s rules. Teach them where to focus their eyes, where to hold on, when to tilt, to bend, what to do in times of mishaps and other crucial information. They have to know it early on to be cautious and ready.
In a nutshell, teach them the basics. They will surely appreciate it in times that they have to pull something within them to survive a certain situation.
Understanding the Co-rider’s Responsibilities
Aside from the well-settled rules, your kids should know their responsibilities in order to act on them properly. They must be aware of what they are doing and its possible consequences. They must know their limits. Tell them that it is not always play time when they are mounted on the motorcycle. They have to be responsible in all their acts. Thus, spreading their arms like an eagle must be avoided so as not to invite danger.
Riding with kids is a fun experience. However, it can turn out to be your worst nightmare. Avoid it by being prepared, responsible and protected.
Ride hard, gear on!
Will writing is sometimes a complicated business and people do not always realise the implications of what they leave to the people they leave it to. Anything over 300,000 pounds for an individual would incur inheritance tax and combining a couple's nil rate allowance was a little complex.
The couple would need to own separate shares in a property as tenants in common and set up a discretionary will trust when writing a will so that anyone inheriting their estate would not have to pay inheritance tax until they breached 600,000. pounds.
Although these so-called new changes are giving people what they already have, it does make the whole process easier. This change affects around 35,000 people a year in the UK which may not seem a lot overall but that is a lot of money that tax man makes!
By 2010 it is promised that the nil rate tax band for inheritance tax will increase to 350,000 pounds per person, or 700,000 pounds per couple. This is something that needs to be taken into consideration when will writing so that arrangements can be made for your children to receive as much as possible without paying penalties.
Opposition parties suggested the upper limit should be closer to one million pounds but The Chancellor put a stop to this and promised to spend the extra revenue on health and education. He has also promised that inflation and current house values will be taken into consideration when setting tax limits and as we all know this is a turbulent area of the country's finance at the moment.
Civil partnership couples will also receive the same tax benefits as married couples but not those that simply live together; proper arrangements need to be made when will writing.
There have been several occasions reported in the press, and many that have gone unreported, where will writing has not taken into account the difficulties of inheritance tax. This recently happened to an elderly woman who had lived with her sister all her life in one house. When one of the sisters died without proper consideration to will writing, the other was forced to sell her home in order to meet the charges of inheritance tax.
This seems rather a cruel way to end your days and if inheritance tax is not taken into consideration when will writing it can lead to the inheritor becoming deeply in debt. Never leave these matters to chance. Never assume because you have written down your wishes that that is the way things will go after your death.
When will writing, always ensure you get a professional to check over it and see if there is anything you can do to relieve the tax burden on those you wish to help after your death.
Over two million homes in the UK are now worth more than the 300,000 pounds inheritance tax bracket and the incidence of problems are occurring are becoming more widespread. By 2020 it is estimated that over four million homes will be subject to current inheritance tax laws. A tidy little some for the chancellor to inherit if will writing is not undertaken correctly.
