As we all know, car crashes mean car sales and GM is fighting to get drunk driving legalized and common. Their present ploy is to claim you have some sort of "right" to drive drunk and kill others and only nanny-staters oppose drunk driving. http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=40007 Article...

In theory my tires take Laclede 1038 (cable, s-type), but they're too long. The instructions say not to use those O-ring chain tighteners, but what do they know? Have any of you actually used such a tightener with cable chains? -- Cheers, Bev ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ...

instead of riding in single file down the middle of the lane? You've seen them--especially Harleys: the first rides close to the right boundary of the lane, the next one close to the left boundary, and they continue alternating like that. Some even ride abreast. How can it be safe for them to ride...

Potholes only damage cars if you hit them if you're going fast. If you cross them at 5 mph they do nothing. Besides, they help drainage out, too.

Hello. I'm 24 years old and have a anxiety disorder called ocd. If you have seen on tv or maybe the movie aviator some people have a intense fear of germs. In my case its driving. I was so fearful of driving that I didnt start until I was 18 and then only 6 minutes to work and back or the local...

I'm very frustrated by the number of driving days that require the use of rapid deceleration, evasive action, and rapid acceleration to avoid a secondary incident. I've had more than 100 incidents within the past month, and I've noticed that it has taken my driving to the border of reasonable and...

See: http://tinyurl.com/aopbc The short of it, this reporter decided to give driving at the speed limit a try for a week with some interesting results. I did disagree with a couple of things he had to say, namely when he would cruise in the middle lane for no apparent reason and his confronting...

We have 3 cars in our auto insurance policy. My 20 year old daughter has a newest car out of all 3. So basically she is driving the most expensive car. I have asked my insurance agent: What if I will be driving her $20,000 dollars car and she will drive my old Toyota truck? Will insurance be...

News item on local tv had a short about the high gas prices. Interviewed a lady complaining that she had just put $78 worth of gas in her vehicle. Yup, an SUV. At first I figured she might have some reason for the complaint until she identified it as a 2005 Excursion. That means she had to have...

For Left Lane Drivers. Left lane blockers sounds so negative. LLDs are wonderful people who save lives by slowing down the deadly speeders.

I am afraid the police are finally fooled; they won't be able to detect the photoblocker spray with their naked eyes and yet you can get away from these stupid tickets. I don't think anybody in their conscience mind will agree to these speed cameras or red light cameras. This is another way of...

Why do so few cars in the US have hatchbacks? I just think the typical sedan is retarded looking and the trunk is a waste of space- especially in a smaller car. Unfortunately, many automakers and dealers in the US don't give a choice. I heard it's because some people think a hatchback is "not...

What risks does one take when they get insurance to cover anyone driving the vehicle and a 16 year old household member wrecks the car? I know you should add the driver to the policy and pay out the ass but are you required to to be covered in case of an accident?

Scenario: you're waiting # 1 at a red light, middle lane, other lanes blocked. Emerg vehicle pulls up behind, lights flashing. Is it legal for you to run the red to allow the EV to pass?

I got in a small accident last August. At a stop light, the guy in front of me pulled out right into traffic. He then, for no apparent reason, slammed on his brakes. I had already turned, and not expecting him to for no reason stop, rear ended him. I almost avoided contact by swerving, but I...
