I have never liked those as a replacement to the standard yellow colored ones. All those blue ones do is blind oncoming traffic. Especially if you have cataracts, like I did. I was finally able to have my cataracts removed, but I can't stop thinking about those people who can't yet. Cataracts have to be a certain size before they are deemed surgically removable. This growth can take years. I was 28 when I had both eyes operated on to remove mine. (I had the ones that you can get at birth, which is why I was so young.) And I did not have a choice but to drive because I HAD to get back and forth to work and things. I was often driving at night and when a car with those blue headlights was coming my direction, that was ALL I could see. I could not even see the car in the lane directly in front of me anymore. I wonder, did the manufacturers take that in to account when they started putting them on cars?

My boyfriend had a car accident yesterday. The car is my car. i dont believe my boyfriend should be held responsible. I have no car insurance. What happens if i dont agree to pay the damages? since i dont agree thats its our fault. I am located in Sydney,Australia. What is the law concerning that in Australia? Can i get a fair go if we go to court? the other driver has already made a claim with her insurance company. Is there any where i can go to to make a complaint about this law? i think it is so unfair that the law is, if you rear end another vechile you are at fault. most of the time its the front driver who caused the accident by breaking hard and giving no warning. the law is that we have to leave at least 2 meter gap when driving. With the legal speed right now being 60km - 70km, and 110km on a freeway. It is impossible to break fast enough even if you were at a 4 meter gap, let alone 2 meter! how can we get the law to be changed? what can they do to me if i dont pay?

the truth is the only state pocket bikes are not street legal is in california. as long as they meet the following criteria they are street legal in all other states: it must have DOT approved headlight that is iluminated whenever ridden day or night that is above 22 inches from the ground, must haveturn signals, an engine larger than 50cc, be registered with local dmv, and the rider must wear DOT approved helmet. if i missed anything please correct me. i have done all my research for my own pocket bike and do not recomend driving on the streets unless you have a death wish people have hard time seeing you, and most people in this country cant drive worth crap anyways.

i was recently in a car accident where the right passenger side door was rammed by another car. we called the police and wrote down reports and such.

now, the main question. my dad is the policy holder and i was driving the car with his insurance and registration. his insurance company asked if there are any other drivers at the time and he said no. At that moment, i had a license not too long ago about 4-6months. would my dad's insurance policy cover me? or will my claim be denied?

I recently posted my CBR600RR bike on the internet. I received three different emails about the bike from people who said they wanted to buy it. All three of these emails had the equivalent of 9th grade level writing abilities. I mean, it was hard to understand what they were saying. I have a lady who wants my home number, cell number, address and all that so she can make a check out for the bike. I have a gut instinct saying they are trying to find out where the bike is and jack it. Any ideas of what I could say to extract more information from them? If anyone wants to read what the emails said you can email me at YZFRydn@aim.com, it is just a junk email thing I use so people don't use my real one but I will check it just in case. Thank you.

I am on a two-way street and I am in the left lane. When I arrive at the intersection, the light is green with a left turn arrow. The lane I am in is not a left turn only lane. Am I allowed to go straight through or do I have to turn left?

I was driving on a 2-way street and reached the red light. At the same time the person across from me also came up to the red light. We were literally the only two on the street (spooky). He had his left turn signal on, I also had mine. There is no left turn lane and there are no green arrows at this intersection. So, the light turns green and both of us look at each other waiting for the other person to turn left.

My question is: who had the right of way?

Or is the answer, we both turn left at the same time? It just seems like there isn't enough room to do that.

My second question is: We have the same situation. I am turning left, the guy across from me is turning left. However, this time he has a guy behind him wanting to go straight. On a left turn you must yield to oncoming traffic. However, do I have to wait for the guy to turn left, then wait again for the next guy to go straight through? Or do I go at the same time as the guy turning left?

I am not a confident left turner.

Living in Atlanta I come across MANY bad drivers. I've been a lot of places and for some reason people here in Atlanta are the worst. We drive faster and more reckless than any other place I've been. With that being said, I think people everywhere not just here should have to retake their driving test every 5 years. My reason why is that people get in the habit of driving badly. Thats just the way they drive and they know no different. With taking the test again it may get some very reckless drivers off of the road. Does anyone agree?

My car has a cracked block and the repairs are probably going to be more than the car is worth, will an insurance company total the car if I file a claim and the car was not in an accident?

Hello! I am in the process of trying to sell my SUV. And was wondering how to get out stains in the carpet and the seats. Also, is there any way to get dark stain out of the plastic? I don't know what caused them but I can't seem to get them out. And do you have any suggestions on how to sell cars. Thanks!
