Safety

i was going home from work in belfast and was in slow moving traffic behind a bus when a cyclist came up the inside of me and pulled in front of me, the bus spead off and im stuck behind a numpty on a bike going a snails pace, he highway code states no passing on the inside, surely this applies to cyclists as well as motorists? right?

i honked my horn at him and he looked at me as if i was at fault!

I was driving into work this morning and passed a truck on the interstate with a large dog in the back. It bothered me because I think interstate speeds are too fast for someone to have an animal riding around loosely in the bed of a truck. I almost called the highway patrol to report it, but I decided not to because I wasn't sure if the driver was breaking a law and I didn't want to call the police for something that wasn't reportable. Was he breaking the law? He was going in the slower lane about 60-65mph, but still I worried about the dog's safety.

Stick shifts can stall--particularly when you're stopped at the top of a steep hill. Then you have "heel" the brake, while your toe regulates the gas peddle! I used to drive an MGTF around San Francisco and Berkeley in '55 & '56. I got pretty good at it--but it always scared me! I entered "The Ladies' Race" at Laguna Seca one yr--scared myself silly at the top of a steep winding climb with a sheer drop on the outside of the sharp turn down. But it was all GREAT FUN!!
(Disregard, if this isn't what you meant. I have no idea WHAT "hill & toe" is.

Lanes you drive in? Because Theoretically there should be no-one trying to overtake you...

Also if you move out of the way of someone tring to go faster are you facillitating or aiding and abetting a Crime?

If a mobile speed trap is parked on the opposite side of the road with its camera facing you, is it trapping you who is driving towards it or the cars that go past it?

I wonder if the Kims family had the Onstar or a car cell phone (offered for a fee along with Onstar for the Saab owners), or a regular cell phone when they got lost. If they did and the devices did not work, maybe these electronics should be declared dangerous outside of big cities because they fail when needed to save lives...

If a car was going as slow , the car would get pulled and given a ticket, yet bikes are allowed to ride down the middle of the lane going15-20 mph, on a 55mph limit road.

Do you try and stay right in the middle of the lane and so try and judge the middle of the car against the centre of the lane?

Or do you edge to the left of the lane slightly by centring your own body on top of the centre of the lane?

Or some other way? Am learning to drive at the mo and have been wondering about this.

I use seatbelts every time I drive, not only because I have become acclimated to putting it on, but also is the law.

Do you not think that by making seat belts mandatory that it is an infringement of our civil rights?

Whether or not you buckle your self into a seat because the government says you have to do this or else, seems like an invasion of personal rights.

For instance, whether or not you had a seat belt on, is certainly not going to guarantee whether or not you make your destination without hitting a pedestrian for example. Or what if a cow jumps in front of you for some unknown reason, and let's assume that you not only kill the cow but kill your car as well. Of course, it would be ideal for you to have a seat belt on for this situation. But again, would it not be a personal choice, after all, you are only one in the vehicle. Having the seat belt on may or may not make a difference as far as you've been injured, but the cow will still be just as dead. .

Why is it that young men cannot handle the responsibility of driving a vehicle. They think they can drive, they drive too fast, too recklessly, take too many risks and keep on killing themselves and other people.

This weekend a young man overtook on the hard shoulder but did not see a broken down lorry!, the result was that he killed himself and another driver.

Should the driving age for men be increased to 25 years old?

It seems to me that traffic, generally speaking, regulates itself better than traffic lights ever seem to do. You can check this out when lghts aren't working ques always seem to be smaller

As travelling in the slow lane on the motorway a car in the middle lane cut in front of the car in front of me to take a VERY LATE turn off. The car hit the barrier full on and went in the air and somehow miracculsaley landed back on four wheels. The car in front stopped and pulled into the hard shoulder. I checked to see if the driver & his passenger were alive but should I have waited?
