Safety

I see rigs and such on the highways driving around tossing debris on other cars. I personally have had my windshield cracked from this but have never pursued a legal course of action.

I have seen that some of the trucks have a sign on them that say "Not responsible for broken windshields" or some such. With the "Keep back 200 feet" disclaimer, I can understand, but is there some limit to this defense? Is it even defensible?

when coming up to an intersection and you want to turn right on red, yet the 'stellar' driver in front of you, stops at the light wanting to go straight, and at the same time stops in the middle of lane so there is not enough room for you to be able to make a right on red.
most times the the other lane that goes straight is empty and could have been occupied the 'stellar' driver, thus letting traffic flow around him . one would have to actually pay attention to what was happening around him while driving. now the question: what should the penalty be for 'stellar' driver??????

When I changed lane from left to middle, met with an accident. Dont know how it happened, but when all done, a suv was stopped on right lane and my right front wheel was jammed. because of impact, i hit car on left lane in sideways collition. Who is at fault. When cop came, i told him i changed lane. So he took me as primary at fault. But based on damage, it sure looks like guy hit me from right. A witness also told cop that guy on right was speeding and rash. But i guess no body spoke when cop was talking and since i told him i changed lane, i am put at fault now, which i think is incorrect. I think guy on right try to come into middle when i already established myself from left to middle lane. I only have liability since it was old car. But I feel, i am not at fault. What should I do? How much lawyers charge? Do I have any chance? is it worth donating damaged car to write off tax?

How is it that if a central crash barrier gets damaged by a collision and buckles and bends they immediatly put cones around it !!!!! Is this to warn approaching motorists not to have a crash into the barrier at this point as it is damaged. As if you can pick a piont to have an accident. This has perplexed me for a number of years and if you ask the people who put out the cones you get an answer 'Well it's damaged' Please think about the answer very carefully cos I don't think there is one apart from sticking a cone somewhere for 2-3 months untill repaired.

Can someone tell me in detail how an electric car works? also tell me the reason why no one buys them and what detriments do they hold? I think i have a solution to some things with it that would make it run forever infinitely without refueling, MAYBE. I still need to know how everything works on the car before i can put my plan into action. Thank you my fellow yahoo members.

Personally I think driving 84 mph is extremely reckless. I wish he had been ticketed for the speed he was going and have to face the consequences. Maybe he'd learn a better lesson. Why would the cop cut him this much slack?

With the rain and having to drive home at 3am for 45 miles because of my job I have thought about sleeping in my car. I have spent 160 the past two weeks for a one night stay in a hotel and that has put a hole in my wallet. What are some safe precautions I would need to take? I will be putting my back seats down and sleeping in the trunk and passenger side. I have also considered tinting my windows. Any suggestion would be great. Thanks!

I am 34 and never learned to drive. I have a fear of driving. I really want to learn. I live in a bigger city and it is hard to get around and I dont know many people here. I cant really afford to pay for lessons right now, but when I can I want to take them and get my license. Does anyone else have or have had this problem? How do I deal with the fear?

Police are on the lookout for a car that was stolen while a child was inside.

According to the Police Bureau, the child's mother parked her car in front of a store at the southwest corner of a Street. The woman ran inside the store, leaving her toddler buckled in a car seat and keys in the ignition. When she came out, the car was gone.

Whoever took the car decided they did not want the child around and dropped the toddler off at a nearby corner. The child was returned to the mother.

No matter how quick I think I am going to be I always bring my daughter in with me even if she falls asleep while we are driving. Gee no one should ever leave an infant or small child in a car.

I have a single cab pickup truck. I have a bench seat that is in good condition. I have all new seat belt hardware and was wondering the legalities in adding a seat to the box of my truck. I have been told as long as inspected by a mechanic it is legal but I want to make sure before hand. I have a box cap on my truck already.
