Commuting

I just finished a 404 mile trip in 5.25 hrs and I thought that was pretty good. Thats about 77 mi/hr average, I felt like I was driving the 24hrs of LeMans!

How can we we make public transportation more appealing to the masses of people who drive their cars to and from work every day?

Mine was on a winter night. I was driving with my best friend. It was freezing cold. and we were driving down a road with woods on both sides. The road was asphalt. Then it suddenly became dirt! Then we drove thru an opening at a fence for a farm, more dirt, and the road curved, we drove past cows!, finally the road ended where you turned left, or right, at a main 2-lane road. We drove left for a few miles, finally found our way back to my home. The entire trip took 3 hours. But what a road, what a night!! We looked, during the daytime, for this road, found it again 5 years later. That was years ago, and to this day, I cannot remember where this road is.

Does it make a difference if you do or do not, let off of brakes? I had heard before it helps, but then heard differently.

I used to indicate, then wait for an appropriate gap before moving across.
Spending some time on the M5 today I finally realised why it was taking me so long. The correct proceedure appears to be;
indicate (optional)
immediately move over into the lane you require (this may be one or more lanes at a time)

don't worry, it'l be fine, everyone slams on their breaks for you.

Worked so much better for the people I saw use this method!

If so, does this reduce the trucks gas mileage?

I'm thinking to take bus from the 42nd Street Bus terminal.
Which bus will take me to the Six Flags Hurrican Harbor in New Jersey and how much would it cost me?

I have to get back to school and I need to pay for all the gas. Can somebody help me figure out how much gas will cost to get from Sterling, MA (about 40 minutes west of Boston) to Steubenville, OH (about 40 minutes west of Pittsburgh)? I'm driving a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe if that helps. I dont know if there are tolls along the way either. Thanks for the help!!

Old people need their licenses taken away.... As should the minivan driving soccer moms who think they shouldn't go so fast with their kids in the car. Not only does this piss everyone off, but it actually hurts the flow of traffic and reduces efficiency which can lead to more accidents.

What do you think?

How high will gas prices need to affect people?

When will it affect how people drive?

It strikes me as unusual that people really don't do anything with their driving habits when those same people drive like maniacs. I will be at a pump and someone will be complaining about how high gas prices have gotten and gripes and b!tches when gas prices get higher. But is the same person that speeds off like a bat out of hell, weave in and out of traffic with no regard for the speed limit.

Most people in general refuse to utilize public transportation (with exeptions like New York and Chicago and places with a large metropolitan downtown area), or carpool, and the single most effective way to reduce fuel consumption is slowing down. Yet very few people do.

How high will the prices need to go?

It seems like everywhere I go people are always in a hurry and tailgating and driving too closely behind another car. It happens to me sometimes, and I don't know how to handle it. I drive the speed limit or 5 over sometimes and never drive and talk on my cell phone and I think you shouldn't while you are driving because its distracting.


So, what I want to know is, how do you handle tailgaters?

I generally drive the speed limit and I don't live in a large city where you simply must speed just to go with the flow. I used to and understand how to drive when in a city. But some people tailgate when they could easily go around or just wait a minute until there is rooom to do so. And it angers me. Sometimes I tap my brakes, sometimes not. And sometimes when I tap my brakes and it doesn't have any effect, then I "apply" my brakes for a second or two, hoping that will get the people to back off.

I was on a Virginia interstate driving home, the same interstate for 4 years now. I got pulled over for APPARENTLY driving in an "HOV" lane (high occupancy vehicle lane, you must have two or more people in the car to travel in the HOV lane). OK, get this.....I WASN"T driving in the HOV lane! The HOV lane is the most left lane on the interstate and clearly marked with double lines. I was driving in the right lane (slow normal lane). The cop told me that ALL lanes on the interstate are HOV lanes, yes ALL 4 LANES! But this major interstate (Interstate 66) has at least 4 lanes and the left one is the only one that has the sign on it and is marked with double white broken lines. I have been driving like this for years, hundreds and hundreds of cars are on this interstate with only one person (driver) in the car. What is going on here? I have never in my life heard of this....ALL lanes on interstate are HOV lanes! How does one go home? Did this cop give me an illegal ticket? What do I do?

I've been wondering if some companies fuels are better for mileage than others, and if the octane rateing is worth the extra cost for improved mileage. I drive different routes to different job sites, so can't keep an exact record over the same route every day.

When will all the rubble be cleared up and on what day will the bridge be repaired/replaced with a new one? When will that bridge open again? Also, how does traffic look now for the rush hour commute? Where do the cars have to drive to detour?

I've travelled the M5 from Bristol to Gloucester for 2 years now. The speed limit is broken by many by cars and vans that pass me doing at least 80 to 90 mph.
I rarely see police cars or speed traps.

This is not a question of the validity of the 70 mph limit, this is about why this law is not enforced.
