One foot over the line by
Larry Scholnick
Here's the situation:
The parking lot is nearly full.
A Nice New car is parked almost a foot over the left-side line into the next parking space.
There's enough room for me to park entirely within the lines of the (remaining) space.
There's at least an inch of clearance between my right-side...

Cop Dirty Tricks by
Dave Head
Went to a movie at a mall 45 miles away. Since I had to take I-95 in Virginia
to get there, I left _really_ early in case the traffic was at a crawl.

How many of you parents would like the driving age raised to 18? by

"the motorcyclist's No. 1 nemesis remains the inattentive driver. So
listen up: Your job as the driver is to drive. Period. Your attention
is focused on what's happening outside, not inside. Period."

about the environment, if...
