http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002667004_panhandle06m.html (with survey!) In the three years since state lawmakers gave cops the go-ahead to pull over people for not wearing seat belts, the State Patrol has become creative about spotting scofflaws. But one new approach has...

Oregon looks at taxing mileage instead of gasoline By RYAN KOST, Associated Press Writer Ryan Kost, Associated Press Writer – Sat Jan 3, 7:38 am ET PORTLAND, Ore. – Oregon is among a growing number of states exploring ways to tax drivers based on the number of miles they drive instead of...

About time! Kudos to Ron Watkins and the Colorado state police. Sure, there are bigger problems, but if they're going to be enforcing traffic laws, how about looking at issues that create problems - like left lane blockers (LLBs).

They are a far far bigger threat to you than terrorists. Why are americans so stupid.?

I wanted to get some opinions about my behavior. I recently moved into a house (I'm house-sitting for a few years) and I have never had my own driveway before this move. I find myself always backing into the driveway now when I park, so when it's time for me to go anywhere, I can pull out forward,...

You remember, the one that "race pro Dick", was going to put together and beat Ferraris and Vettes with? It never materialized!!! I guess it was just all hot air, pipe dreams and Bull****, as usual, and posted to get attention. But I heard it got a new steering wheel cover. A cheap leather...

Some rational people are still able to study the issue. http://www.turnto10.com/news/4640037/detail.html F*ck you Carl, Judy et.al. Bernard

Isn't conflict of interest usually illegal? Yes, unless it is the government doing it. Government setting unresonably low speed limits, and then collecting traffic fines and keeping the money, is a conflict of interest on the part of the government. So, here's what we should do. Pass a law that...

If you watch that tv video coverage of the bridge falling, watch closely at the center of the screen where there is a pillar attached to a concrete base. You will see a blast of concrete shooting outward. That's the cause. Someone placed an explosive there. They keep saying this was not...

I decided to buy a 2002 VW Jetta TDI for fuel economy on my long trips. It seemed to have good reviews (except from the Car Talk Guys) and in real-life better gas mileage than the Prius and I though more reliable technology. At about 65000 miles there were only a series (5 or more) check...

This is subjective, in other words what I see around with my own eyes, but it seems that size and recklessness go hand in hand, all the way up to the Supersized Unnecessary Vehicles... So are they the new terrorists of the road, or just innocent suckers who fell for advertising? Just wondering...

Not clear if this applies to LLDs doing the speed limit. Wouldn't that be crazy - to make it a crime to obey the law? http://www.local10.com/news/4357777/detail.html Law Targets Those Who Enrage, Not Those Who Rage POSTED: 5:48 pm EDT April 7, 2005 UPDATED: 6:38 pm EDT April 7, 2005

I'm all for this but such a ban has to be combined with stiff penalties, not this $25 fine crap we now have. Treat cell-driving like drunk driving. http://my.earthlink.net/article/top?guid=20111213/a5da88cc-63e3-44cb-ac5e-31b011b19e32 No cellphones, no texting by drivers, US urges December 13,...

....for the foreseeable future. I chose to spend my last six months or so left in Canada in the Yukon Territory way up north, and I've picked up a few experiences from here, driving and otherwise. I made the long drive up from Vancouver BC by way of the Crowsnest Pass into Alberta and then...

Went to the bank today, pulled into a spot next to handicapped parking. The rest of the parking lot was empty. As I set the brake, a large crew-cab pick up pulled right up on my left beside me into the handicapped parking, over the parking line into my spot, with the bumper for the truck actually...

Brain Immaturity Could Explain Teen Crash Rate Risk-Taking Diminishes At Age 25, NIH Study Finds By Elizabeth Williamson Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, February 1, 2005; Page A01 By most physical measures, teenagers should be the world's best drivers. Their muscles are supple, their...

Have the people who support this lost their minds? Consumers know reorganizations sometimes fail. Issues concerning future availability of parts, resale value, and whether anyone will be around to honor their warranties will be considered by them before making a purchase from an automaker in...
