For using selective yellow HID bulbs in my headlamps. I actually got these bulbs back in early January and have had no problems (till today). I wasn't cited in either case (probably because they're not explicitly illegal in VA). I wonder if they thought I just had my parking lights on? Anyway,...

The real funny thing is this idiot constantly refers to the speed enforcement as "photo radar," when, in fact, there is no radar involved. Just goes to show that uneducated people can still be loud-mouths. http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/0106sat1-06.html Speed kills;...

It would seem like a no-brainer. If someone is killed on the freeway by some nut doing say 85 mph, you'd think the victim's family would sue the manufacturer for making a car DESIGNED to break the law. Should be easy for the family to win. And yet i've never heard of any such lawsuit. I suspect...

I first spotted this story in another ng. http://www.wtsp.com/news/specials/popular/article.aspx?s=popular&storyid=43783 In a nutshell: in Florida, a Hyundai driver had to brake hard for a tractor doing 25 on the Interstate. Some kid in a Toyota hit the Hyundai driver, sending him first into the...

http://tinyurl.com/ymc6sr The poll results about what the speed limit should be are somewhat encouraging. At least most people realize that speed limits really don't make a difference with regards to road safety (since traffic speeds don't change that much). The only complaint I have about...

The Green Light Jumping Sloth. You've seen them, they're waiting for the light to turn back to green, first in line. They keep edging up farther and farther (one guy today had his REAR wheels over the stripe), ready to pounce on the green light so they can drive 10 under.

I saw an ad for a Lincoln Navigator SUV. They were bragging about its power running boards. What the hell? Why would anybody need power running boards? This hulking beast of a vehicle represents everything that is wrong with modern vehicles.

I often wondered if such a bumper sticker would have any effect? I think many people tailgate because theyfeel there is no consequence . With a bumper sticket like that it would mean the driver does not appreciate being tailgaited and would likely do something retaliatory. On the other hand, i...

I've always been sympathetic to drivers who say it's no one's business whether they wear a seat belt or not but consider these points. 1.) If the driver loses control, a seat belt keeps him in place and lets him regain control before he crashes into another car. 2.) If the car is involved in a...
