Commuting

I was right at the front of the ques to turn right at the junction of Camden Rd and Holloway Rd. There were cars next to me and behind me. An ambulance approaced in my lane a few cars back. I edged forward onto the padestrian crossing (still going through the first light, but not crossing the road). There was a people ambulance next to me in the other lane and the driver indicated that I should drive on as the ambulance still couldn't get past (as was still stuck behind the cars behind me. I did and crossed the road. Now I'm worried I'm going to get a ticket! Anyone know about these things?!

Personally I can not understand car drivers who do not read the roadsigns. For example we have Bus Lanes in our town which cannot be used during certain times by cars, outside of these times they can be used BUT the car drivers insist on not using them and changing lanes at the end of the Bus Lane. Plonkers!!!!

Would a car that ran for 30-50 miles between recharges on electricity only, but could switch instantly to conventional hybrid electric mode when the batteries ran low work for your lifestyle?

Some hybrid vehicles can be converted to have a longer electric-only range and recharge overnight, but so far the major auto-makers don't sell that option from the factory. Would you be willing to pay a premium over the price of a conventonal hybrid vehicle to get a 30-50 mile range of electric-only operation (short commute or day shopping) with an electric-only operating cost cheaper than that of a conventional Internal combustion engine or HEV? If so, what factors might influence you? Electric-only range? Initial-cost? Initial-cost versus fuel-savings? Fuel-savings alone? Eco-friendliness?

PHEV's can be both cost-effective, and more eco-friendly! If we can show that market demand is there, perhaps they will come sooner!

then they will act tough with you cuz they (assume) are safe inside their car. But when you call their bluff, they reach for the cell-phone to call 911 instead of getting out of the car. Why pick a fight, if you are a coward.

I got pulled over a couple months ago for going 38 in a 25 I still don't believe I was going that fast.. anyways my dash lights were all burnt out when I went to the dealership they told me it was some switch and it would cost about 300 to fix I couldn't afford it so i put it off. well the night I was pulled over I was on a very very dark road no other cars were on that road at the time I could not see any of the dash. .Since then I have gotten the lights fixed and I have a receipt it was actually my bulbs and I got it done for way less than what the dealership quoted. I can't get this ticket I have a pretty bad driving record and if I get another moving violation dmv will suspend me for 45 days and I'm a single mom who works fulltime and I take my daughter to school everyday..
please tell me what you think I should do I'm so nervous about court and I really believe I'm not guilty help!!!

i live about ten-fifteen minutes away from usc. is it worth moving out next year, or is commuting from home good for another year? consider this:
tution is about 40g a year, and one-bedrooms are about 1200/month, or at least the one i am eyeing. (my parents pay for my tution already, so i will feel pretty bad asking them to pay for that apartment.) also, the area isnt too nice .. but i will be only a walking distance away from the school, which also means i have to give up my new bmw (i cant have a new car AND a new apartment, get it?) i will have more "freedom" i suppose, too, but my parents dont really restrain me from anything nonetheless.. so it wont matter on that part.

i could point-counterpoint forever, so i need help.

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer. I fill up the tank and don't even drive 50 miles and the indicator is already moving down. I am getting so sick of going to the gas station so often. I would also like to know is there is a "fuel additive" I can use to help? It's a 4x4/6 cylinder. I don't drive it "hard" and I get all the service done on it. It seems like I don't even get 14 mpg. Am I expecting too much out of this vehicle or is this the way they are. I have spoken to other "Explorer" owners and they say they get about 400 miles on a tank full of gas.

I have always wanted to do this but thought it was completely inappropriate. I moved further south recently and have seen people do it a few times, unless they were flashing their lights at slower cars for reasons unbeknownst to me.

I'm talking about people going 68 in a 70MPH zone in the left lane, no room to pass on the right, not showing any indication of moving, maybe even talking on their cell phone or chatting animatedly with their passenger, you know this person is not paying attention.

Can I flash 'em?

Volume is a simple retail concept. Often, you can sell more of something if you lower the price and usually make more money in the long run. This is the idea that made Wal-Mart so successful. So in the long run, wouldn't the retail gasoline industry see incentive to lower prices if people always bought the cheapest gas they could find, even if it meant driving farther? People aren't going to stop driving, and many drive the same amount regardless of the cost of gas (abliet they complain more). But if everyone bought the cheapest gas all the time I think prices at the pump would decrease some as companies tried to compete with one another. Of course, there are many other factors that determine the price of gas, but do you agree that this principle could work to some small degree, if everyone practiced it? I only ask because of a recent article on Yahoo, denouncing driving farther to save a few cents on gas as a "whaste of money". Only in the short run, I say.

If you can give the number of train cars, or scheduled train runs, as well as the number of train passengers, so much the better. Geographic breakdowns, or links to them, are also a plus.
