Safety

I am teaching impulse-momentum theory and want to use the real world example of a car crash, but I don't know how long it takes for a crash to happen. Any ideas?

I was entering on a highway that was moving very slowly due to congestion. There was an open space that was about three car lengths in size.

I check my blind spot and merged into traffic when the guy behind me sped to block me out. I swerved to the right, but we still made contact.

Who would be at fault? I can understand if I just merged into him without looking, but the guy sped up to block me. Wouldnt he be atleast somewhat negligent for the accident?

What is the term for when you are driving fast, like on a highway, then come off onto local roads and perceive your speed as being slower than it actually is? Meaning, you were going 50 and come off to where the speed limit is 30. You are still doing 50, but because your perception is out of whack, you think you are driving 30. I know there is a word for this condition and it is driving me nuts!

Seriously, intersections are just an accident waiting to happen! Here is the trick people, when you are approaching an intersection, speed up, and roll the stop sign, because when you do a full stop, Mr. 10 minutes late, still thinks its HIS turn to go! But if you find yourself getting there at the same time as someone else, let them go first, ALWAYS look to see if they will let u go or not, even if you are right, it is not worth getting in a fight with some whacko that could shoot you for it. Any other advice?

Our 17 year old son has been caught speeding 3 times in past 7 months! He was 16 when he got caught first 2 times. Lawyer prevented loss of drivers license. If we, as parents, take his license away, the full burden of delivery/pickup falls on us. His school is 25 miles from home & he's a 3 sport athlete; drive to girlfriend's house is 50 minutes. We're talking major burden. Is loss of license the only thing that will work? I realize the danger of serious injury is first & foremost without a doubt. Has anyone tried anything else that worked for them? I'd like to hear from parents and a teenager who also had a "lead foot".

And campaign for a traffic free school environment ?
Or should I just let everyine drive in front of school so that one day a kid is killed by a car ?
Will you all join me for a campaign for traffic free schools ?
After all, anyone driving their kids to school can use a car park !
Is it unreasonable to demand people use a car park and keep their SMELLY, DANGEROUS, POLLUTING and DEALDLY machines OFF our School lawn ?
(by the way i lead by example I refuse to drive and go everywhere by train with my kids, which is quite easy here in Switzerland).
By the way, you're all most welcome here !
Come on over and have a family holiday on the train
and explore the lakes and mountains !
Welcome, especially all you folks over there on the other side of the pond !

ok so here's my story...my husband and i went to blockbuster to drop off some video and when we pulling into the parking lot there wasn't any parking space left so my husband got out of the car while i pulled to the side and right when he got out i pulled into the handicap parking space to do a 3 point turn so that when my husband got back - the passager door will be on his side. anyways when i was doing a 3 point turn, right when i pulled into the handicap zone waiting for a car behind me to pass by before i pulled out, the ticket guy pulled up and gave me a ticket for $345. I told him that i wasn't park there and that i was going to make a 3 point turn and my car was not a park or i didn't leave my car sitting there. the ticket guy told me that it does not matter if my car was on park or not that california has a strict rule about a car being on a handicap parking area if i don't have a handicap parking sign on my car. so i'm planning on fighting this ticket and wonder if i can win

I have a mustang and I was wondering how do you prevent a skid from happening. I was going slow in the snow and I skid to the right and I almost got into an accident. What do I do to prevent this from happening because I dont have 4 wheel drive.

I have driven a Kia Picanto through a flooded road. The water came over the bonnet as I drove through the flooded area. The car seems to be working fine, the electrics are all OK and the brakes are OK - but I can hear water sloshing around when I drive the car. Where is the water likely to be and does it matter if the car is working OK ?
