Is it illegal to drive in Ontario, Canada without insurance?? ok, me and my friend were driving to the gym last night when we accidentally rear ended our friends who were in the left hand turn lane infront of us. My friend was driving and couldn't stop because the brakes were absolutley drenched from driving through some enormous and unavoidable puddles in terrible weather. Our friends in front of us who he hit have insurance on their car but my friend who hit them has no insurance. We didn't file a police report or anything because we all know each other, but the insured car's insurance company phoned the rear-ender last night with a claim of approx $5000 on the hit car. No injuries. What happens next ??

I've had a couple of flat tires and both times, Discount Tires suggested to replace the tire because they cannot repair it. They said that the puncture was near the sidewall. It seems to me that they never repair a tire (although they offer the service for free), in addition, they pull a scare tactic such as "The tire will bubble and explode..." It looks to me that if you have a flat tire, you need to replace it not repair it.

I was driving home from work in my 1988 toyota tercelan it just cut off. I went to the side of the road to try to start it. I step on the gas pedal several times.It would run for a few seconds then cut off. It is acting like it is not getting gas. I had it tow to my local mechanic. he has done eveything he knows to do and it is doing the same thing. He put a new fuel filter and fuel pump on it and it is still doing the same thing. do you have any ideals what it could be. It is also fuel injected. ** thanks**

These Ceilings look cheap and tacky and are not an improvement on what was there before. Also at Kings Cross it is making the platforms smaller by putting fake walls along the original ones and loosing about a foot of space along the platform, why?

I have 90k miles on a 2001 Integra and it's never been in for a regular servicing, I've just done brakes, tires, etc. as it's needed them. What types of things would you expect it to need when I bring it in? Also, there is no Acura dealer nearby, so my choices are a Honda dealer, a Sears type garage or a local spot. What's the best choice?

OK so i bought a car from a used car dealer and i drove the car home,then i left again to go to the store and on my way back home the gears start to slip and it will cost me a few thousand to fix so i took the car back the following monday (because i bought the car on a satuday and they were closed on sunday) before the check cleared and asked for the check back and he said no and he still has my check so i have a freeze on my account which means any other checks i wrote will be returned and on top of everything he threatened to take ME to court!! Can he do this when he has the vehicle and the check??? is he legally obligated to give the check back?? can I get in trouble for this??please help me!!!!!

Actually, I drive a 1997 VW GTi VR6. Sometimes, I have to go to other countries for a few months and my car battery runs out every time. I cannot get my car to start. Is there any way that I can deal with this situation all by myself? Buying a battery chargers? What kind? How many voltage? Thanks!

I bought a 94' cavalier for $200 and I knew it needed work. But When I drive It the coolant ends up boiling and smoke pours out from under my hood. lol
While coolant is boiling oil starting pouring out of somewhere. I was thinking it might just need a new thermostat and a few gaskets...

I'd like to get some feed back and ideas.

if someone bumped my car and left a note w/their first name and a phone number and they don't call back, would my insurance be able to find them? or should i just let them go?

Hi,
First of all, I'm not very knowledgable about cars.

I'm bought a 1996 Ford Taurus (125K miles) in June, and made about 4000 miles since then. I took it to Ford Service and have it inspected, everything was fine except a ball joint which I had it replaced. Never had any problems until today.

This morning, it took a few seconds to start the car. Normally it starts instantly. I drove for 5 miles to the bookstore, stopped half an hour there and returned home. After 20 minutes, I had to drive again, but this time the car did not start at all. Tried a few times with waiting 10-15 seconds in between, but did not work.

2 hours later, I tried to start again but still did not work. I don't know if it's the battery but the headlights, radio and inner lights were working fine. So, I was about to call to have it towed but in the next try it started instantly. Drove 3-4 minutes, stopped again, tried a few more times and again it started without a problem.

Any idea on this issue?

Is there anything I can buy to make it look normal again? Like a replacement bottle of clear coat? Do I have to sand off the pieces that are visible?

eg Like... a road to Tesco, a road to the corner shop, a road to the launderette, a road to the jobcentre, a road to Pizza Hut, a road to the pub etc etc..

that way we could all get to where we are going a lot quicker..more direct. Dont you agree?

Ok, this is kind of a weird question..I just got my liscense and we're currently trying to find insurace for me..now the car I'm gonna drive i share with my dad. Let's say I wanted to drive somewhere tomorrow and I bring my dad along and he sits in the passenger seat. Is that illigal? If I get pulled over and they ask for liscense and registration, can we just tell them I'm 'praticing' (which I am) and going to get insurance soon?
