I know it's obvious that I shouldn't get a powerful car, but size is a trivial issue for me.

I feel that if I get a small car, I would be less tempted to take passengers with me, allowing me to concentrate on the road more. This is a big factor, since every extra passenger multiplies the chance of an accident. However, I would need space for my stuff for college, and if I ever decide to take a road trip or whatever. I'm also worried that if I get in an accident, physics alone will tell me that if I'm the lighter car, I'm screwed.

If I get a larger car, my friends would nag me for a ride, which I would probably give in to. I can also carry much more stuff with me, and if I'm in an accident, I'm more likely to be safe. Then again, in a bigger car, wouldn't I be a bigger danger to drivers on the road?

My husband is dead set on not wanting a car. We don't want a truck or van so that only leaves SUVs. We like the small size SUVs (we own a Hyundai Santa Fe now) and we're currently looking at those. But - cars are cheaper and better on gas usually! He said he doesn't like cars because they feel so low to the ground. Can anyone out there tell me a car that is up kinda high off the ground and would comfortably fit 2 car seats and stroller in the truck? Thanks a lot!

I'm 18 at the moment, and I want to learn to drive a motorbike. Is it true that at my age I can only ride a bike of a limited power? And what's all this about a CBT? And roughly how much does it cost for lessons?

Cheers everyone

I have been giving some thought to this for a while. I have been driving 38 & 44 tonne trucks for 20+ years, and I would buy a top spec truck from each of the manufacturers - Scania (Topline,) Volvo (Globetrotter), DAF (105 XF), Iveco (Stralis) & MAN (Roadhaus),.( £500k well spent) Then I would rent a plot on a disused Airfield to park them on. Every day I would go there armed with an AK47 & blast them to pieces, or take a selection of baseball bats & beat the cr@p out of them for the misery they have caused me over the years.( Bad back, & endless rows with the"boss" - my missus! for being late, or not turning up for family meals) A bit drastic , but VERY rewarding lol. When I got fed up of that I would buy a golf club - any one would do, and turn it into an adventure playground for my family & selected mates to race the above trucks into the ground. then I would probably waste the rest. The only thing hurt would be the feelings of those posers who hit balls with bent sticks !!!!!

I have been driving for over 40years and I only learned this today.
Have you ever been driving a strange car and pulled in for petrol
and had to get out and look which side you fill up.
Well there is such an easy way. Look on your petrol gauge there is a small icon of a petrol pump. Whichever way the the filler pipe points either left or right that is the way you fill up.
Why have I never known this, it would of saved me many a creacked
neck hanging out of cars looking for the filler cap.
Is this just me or is this common knowledge.

With petrol prices now going over the pound a litre, and NO sign of any protest, why dont we are motorists stop using the 2 biggest suppliers of fuel - Shell and BP. The one way of trying to get companies to reduce prices to to stop using these companies and just use the Supermarket, before long Shell and BP will start to lose money, and then it will hit there profits which in the long term will mean a fall in prices. Everyone I know have already started using BP and Shell and in the area I live other people are now only using Supermarkets, if we all did it through out the UK, how long would it be, before BP and Shell started seeing a hole in there profits.

STOP USING BP
STOP USING SHELL

FILL UP AT SUPERMARKETS ONLY

Lets make a stand together

It's obvious American automakers are finally getting the idea of the subcompact cars, a market the foriegn automakers have dominated for years, and the American companies are finally warming up to hybrid vehicles. However the hybrid technology for American Auto makers is far inferior to the japanese counterparts. Chevrolet now has a hybrid version of the Malibu, but the hybrid Malibu only gets 2 mpg better fuel economy then the non hybrid powered Malibu. What is the problem with American Auto Manufacturers? Do they not get it? The Market is demanding better fuel economy in there vehicles and Ford, Chrysler and GM are ignoring us.
