NYT columnist calls for return to 55 mph speed limit by
Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/21/opinion/21friedman.html?hp

It baffles me that President Bush would rather go to Saudi Arabia
twice in four months and beg the Saudi king for an oil price break
than ask the American people to drive 55 miles an hour, buy more fuel-
efficient cars or accept...

fuel economy in car commercials by
Magnulus
I've noticed three times in the past week fuel economy has been mentioned
in a car commercial I have seen. It's interesting to watch because
normally I don't think fuel economy is mentioned at all.
The Toyota Prius car commercial didn't talk about actual fuel economy much
(other than a vague...

Speeding sucks by
Magnulus
It's bad because it makes getting into turn lanes hard. I was driving
home today around rush hour, and on this one road close to home everybody
was doing 45 mph in a 35 mph zone. And everybody was in the left lane too,
the right lane only had a few cars. I kept looking for an opening on...

Entering a Freeway by
Rayvan
What would be the best way to educate people on the proper way to
enter a freeway? Driver training sure doesn't cover it. I think all
they do in driver training is teach people how to pass the tests.
Seems more and more, I see people that wait until they're completly
merged before they realize...

Should traffic lights be higher?? by
Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS[_1_]
You're making a left turn right behind some semi or fedex or ups truck
and you can't see the light but you follow the truck anyway while he
slowly makes the left and when the light is finally visible to you it's red.

"Sobriety Checkpoints" by

As my fellow Coloradoans are aware, they just wrapped up their holiday
weekend "The Heat is On" campaign.
This may have been answered elsewhere, if so, point me in the right
