Observed from my shuttle bus window yesterday morning: A white Scion Xa, with a young 20something female behind the wheel, pulls up next to the bus. This chick is hip - she has a Blackberry perched on the center of her sterring wheel; her right thumb is busily hunting-and-pecking out a vitally...

I am applying for my first license and I am 19 and so will probably apply for a Class C license. I am asking coz the first avbl date is...

It was an all-too-typical scene: idiot driver wants to merge, slows down, turns on signal, and WAITS. There is a space in the adjacent lane more than large enough for her to merge into, but still she hesitates. Through the open window she begins giving hand signals to the driver in the target lane,...

Yesterday, in northern Michigan, was raining torrentially, and visibility was almost zero. Almost everyone was driving with their lights on, except for the GM cars, which had only their headlights (DRLs) on. Real helpful on the road in poor visibility conditions! Lots of GM cars have DRLs and...

Just got an Impala last night (company car... not actually mine, mine is at a dealership somewhere because someone who was supposed to do some paperwork was on vacation... but I digress) ANYWAY... any doubt in my mind that the automatic headlights are a bad idea has now been erased. When you...

I think I have seen her! I got a letter from Grandma the other day. She writes: The other day I went to a local book store and saw a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day, because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a...

With three states raising speed limits this year I decided to make a map of where America stands: http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/speed/states.gif The map shows the highest speeds posted in the state; in the case of Texas I anticipated the posting of 80 MPH speed limits later this year. The corresponding...

The other day I had to listen to my red neck neighbors and their friends complain about idiots using cell phones while driving. My neighbor was one of the most vocal. Today I see her drive her car down the left side of the road to her driveway, turn in front of me with no clue that I almost hit...

While driving my pickup truck to the hardware store yesterday, I got temporarily stuck behind a Sloth Coaster driving an SUV. The posted speed limit was 55 MPH, but because there was a red light a half mile down the road, this SC was puttering along at about 35 MPH. After a couple cars in the next...

Hi, I have a NY driver license and want to get PA license. Does anyone know if points get transferred with license? where could i get this info? Thanks

Driving the right lane tonight (yeah, I know, hard to believe) and the other guy comes up like he's going to pass, and pulls even and slows to match my speed. Goes on like that for a couple miles. I finally get fed up with it, as other cars are accumulating behind, and I hate to be followed...
