I'm a bit of a novice driver, and live in an area where using a freeway is not a common occurrence -- in fact, roads very rarely have more than 2 lanes in either direction, and the ones that even have that many are usually within the town centers. Since I'm a newbie and I've never really had...

This is BS. Laura bush KILLED someone by her reckless driving and was never charged with anything!!!! http://www.jsonline.com/news/metro/jan05/295825.asp 5 charged in election-day tire slashings Sons of prominent Milwaukee politicians among those facing felonies By DERRICK NUNNALLY Posted: Jan....

See lots of republiguns buy it but no one else. You end up paying like $4 for two quarts of water!!! Just buy the str8 antifreeze (which is getting expensive enough BTW) and add your own water.

I have to chuckle at the cattle I encounter on the highways. I'm not referring to farm creatures, rather the ones behind the wheel. What is it about some people that makes them "hang" with others? Last night I'm driving down the highway. I pass a car, gain some space then pull in front. They...

Mr. Griffey: <snip URL for OP's own auction -- spamming isn't classy> Your auction warns against being "fooled" by flashers that "claim to be electronic, they use relays or moving contacts that can pit and burn". That's more than a little disingenuous. Theoretically, sure, turn signal flashers...

All of you who were saying that driving in the left lane is bad, were very right. Driving in the left lane is very, very bad, immoral, illegal, politically incorrect, taboo, offensive and insensitive. Stick to your right lane, suckers, and leave LLBing to me. The fewer of you I have to share my...

That's why one should never trust goody-goody I KRETP fatsoes from the South. I bet the were Jesus-freaks too. Why else would they flee to Utah? http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/02/04/family.torture/index.html

This morning I got a speeding ticket...I was on a two lane road, with a 30mph speed limit (if you are familiar with the area,16th street towards silver spring). I was coming up to a red light with a car and a cop in the next lane over...the red turned green and I sped by both at 30mph (the limit) -...

Two years ago I was getting photo-radar tickets every three months. Then I saw a FOX News report that showed how well this PHOTOBLOCKER spray worked. It showed Denver police Department testing it and cops actually called it surprisingly effective. I have tested the spray myself. I triggered one of...

I've heard this advice alot. My question is, why cover your break at an intersection- what use does it do? Suppose I enter an intersection with a green light at 30 mph (following the usually defensive driving advice to slow down a bit), and I just happen to see that pickup comming at me at 40...

Driving at 85 MPH vs 70 MPH only reduced my mileage by .3 MPG. So take that you speed kills freaks and tree huggers. Anyhow... This is in my '68 Galaxie 500 with a 302, FMX, and 2.80:1 gears. The reason I believe it made no significant difference is because my engine has a lower BSFC at 3000 RPM...

The advice "go with the flow" is wrong. The safest and most stress free way to drive on congested interstates is to keep your distance from other vehicles by waiting for a break in the traffic. When a break comes, THEN go at a speed so your distance remains constant from traffic far ahead and...

When you buy a car you get the listing of "scheduled maintenance": 750 miles, have basic checks, 15,000 miles, more of same, etc. My question is, if you have most of that stuff looked at during regular oil changes and other fluid maintenance and are reasonably sure the 7500 or 15000 checks are not...

The other day I was driving to the mall. I went down a road in the rightmost lane. When I was approaching the intersection, I started signalling, checked my mirror, and there was a big pickup off to the left. Well, I thought this guy, being a bit over the speed limit would GET A CLUE and slow...
