Don't think I mentioned yet, but I got new tires... by Cory Dunkle
I got new tires put on a while ago, the end of last month. I got them from tirerack.com, but they took a little longer to get here since they were out of stock at the local warehouse. I ended up getting BFGoodrich Radial T/A in 225/70/15. I like them, they handle much better than my old tires did...

Question about a term in the MUTCD by DYM
All these references to the MUTCD and speed regulations got me to actually read (parts so far) of the manual. In section 2B.13 Speed Limit Sign (R2-1) under the heading Option B: The pace speed. What is the pace speed? How is this defined? DYM

World wide, it's about the revenue. by Brent P
Once again, those in the profit stream behind automated traffic enforcement are caught with either sloppy use of the equipment or outright setting it up to generate more tickets. http://www.pistonheads.com/speed/default.asp?storyId=9689 GATSOS OVER-READ YOUR SPEED Gatso-based evidence could be...

safest car for driving expressways by ap
Hello, I need some of your opinion. What sedans/wagons are the safest to be in when driving on the expressways? Here in atlanta, the roads are pretty wild with cars and many trucks weaving in and out, not to mention following too closely. I have a 01'Honda accord which was rear-ended

Anyone heard the new NFL Ring tones? by [email protected]
These tones rock! Every time someone calls Torry Holt tells me to pick up the phone, lol. Anyone try them yet? I found them in my phone under ring tones/pictures/downloads. There were others I saw like Priest Homes and Michael Strahan too. Actually, there's wallpapers in there as well.

Speed limits are not personalized by MidnightDad
Speed limits are tuned for the _average_ driver in the _average_ vehicle. Just because you think YOU have the catlike reflexes and the ultimate driving machine to handle speeds well above the posted limit, that doesn't mean you are issued an exemption. There's only one speed limit posted.

I drove below the speed limit today. by Bob Flaminio
Coming down the peninsula on I-280 today. Raining like a sum'bitch. Heavy traffic. Foggy. The speed limit is 65 mph, but I chose to drive 45-50 mph, because that was a more appropriate speed for the conditions. On other days, when it's been clear and traffic light, I've driven the same stretch at...

Come on, let's get this thing moving!!! by Tim
What the hell is with people that drive 20 MPH up a straight onramp? I kid you not, 20 MPH. The other day I turned onto an onramp behind a driver that was going 20, and I kept waiting for him to speed up, but he never did. The ramp is long enough that you can give 50% throttle once you turn onto...

helmets in cars- a right that should be recognized by Magnulus
Is this legal in Florida? Why is it illegal in many states and countries? A small open-face motorcycle helmet (the cheap one that doesn't cover the ears) could cut fatalities in side impact crashes by about 50 percent, and it would be safer/easier than getting a car with a side-impact airbag...

airbags and hats by Magnulus
Has anybody got any idea how an airbag deployment would affect a person wearing a rigid or semi-rigid hat (such as a cowboy hat or pith helmet, that sort of hat?).

Passing driver that pulled over & slowed down by Larry Scholnick
I'm driving along behind a car that is traveling slightly above the posted 35 MPH. He pulls over to the right (into the parking lane) and slows down substantially. As I pass him, he decides that he want to return to the regular traffic lane and resume traveling at his previous rate of...

US needs to do something about SUV's and trucks by Magnulus
Too many people are buying them. It's getting out of hand. If you are in an accident with one of these things, your chances of dying go up alot. The worst part is when the suspension is all jacked up on them- then the bumper will go through a window or over a hood. They need to, at the...

Not even pretending any more... by Brent P
This article is typical of recent articles I have seen on traffic 'enforcement'. The pretext of 'safety' is not even mentioned any more. Simply how much revenue is generated. Speeder-Catching Cams To Really Pay Off http://www.wcpo.com/news/2005/local/01/06/speedercams.html Reported by: 9News Web...

mystery solved, faith in humanity misplaced. by Nate Nagel
I've always wondered about something... One of the ways I go to work (I sometimes vary my route to break up the monotony, but the one I'm describing is the shortest route, thus the one I generally take) takes me down a somewhat windy, somewhat hilly 2-lane road. Now this road has literally two...
