I've had an accident in my car yesterday. I was waiting at the roundabout & someone's van just smashed into me from behind.

Firstly, I thought I'd get over it simply by having a good night sleep but the pain started the moment I woke up. It's a whiplash injury making it harder to make any quick neck movement along with severe headache.

Although, I'd this accident at around 6pm yesterday, on my way back from work, would it be possible to do something about it NOW i.e. after 24 hours ??? Is there any insurance issue that I need to consider, regardless of the fact that it was someone else's fault & I've fully comprehensive insurance ??? What are the legal issues, if it applies, that apply to someone in my position ???

What exactly needs doing that benefits me ??? I'm heading to the local NHS infirmary shortly & see if that's of any help.

I'm 20 yrs old, 5'0'' tall, and 117 lbs. I am really scared of the airbag sometimes and I heard that it can actually kill me. I'm not sure what to do . I drive a 2000 Celica and it has front airbags so I don' t know if it's good or bad. I read my driver's manual that came with my car and it says nothing. All it says is that someone who is under 12 shouldn't sit in the passengers seat (up front) Well I know 10 yr olds taller than me. What do you think?

What if I saw a man or women driving real fast and I couldn't make a signal to get to the other side of the road? I remember last year I saw two cars that crash together and their cars got damaged badly for trying to signal their cars to get to the other side of the road.

The majority of trucks on the market, have a pretty lousy ecconomical characteristic. Being gas hogs, because of poor mileage due to having to haul around surplus weight and piss-poor aerodynamics. Most owners of utility vehicles, will on occasion need to have a payload bearing capacity to perform a function necessary for their work, but other times they will use their trucks just to commute to & from point A to B.

It would make more ecconomical sense, to have a vehicle that has the power to tow a trailer, to haul a payload when needed. And Leave the payload-bearing trailer at home or elsewhere, when not needed. To enhance one's ecconomic performance of their truck when just shuttling to errands, that require a minimal payload capacity (which ought to fit in the passenger space or in a smaller utility bay in the vehicle itself.

I'm tired of hearing about 16-year-olds dying in car wrecks because they were driving stupidly, or were otherwise outdriving their experience or maturity level.
Rather than the current practice of getting their temps at 15 and full license at 16, I think kids should have to keep those temps until they're 18, THEN test for their full license. It'd give them more time to build on-the-road experience.

Who agrees with me?
Who has a better idea for reducing accidents among new drivers?
(And sorry, teens, but I don't want to hear about how this will inconvenience your life. You'll adapt. Teens always have. You probably have IM and a cell phone; you can certainly keep in touch with your friends. So bring something else to the debate.)

Back in the day, I suppose during the "Miami Vice" era, detective police would place those read, flashing lights on their cars before blazing through traffic to persue a criminal or head to the location of a crime. Does anyone know what the lights themselves were called?

I can see the requirement when it was air or mechanical but we have come a long way from the mechanical brake.

Shouldn't they have all that **** figured out BEFORE they sell it! I had a recall on my Honda cause apparently you could turn the ignition off when it was not in park. Now DODGE is recalling like 150,00 trucks cause of the passenger air bag. I don't get it?

I lost my brakes one night and couldn't stop for a traffic light last December. I had no choice but go thru it. I fought the ticket in court and lost. The judge also put the points on my class A-CDL. Under the circumstanses of loseing my brakes can I have the points removed from my license? It was an emergency situation and I should never had points added to my license for it.

The local news in my hometown, paints a picture that nearly every accident involves DWII. Where as the Oregon Drivers Manual (pg.32) states in bold letters: "....that the number ONE cause of accidents is vehicles following too close together."

So who is right? Or is it just more "sexy" to report in the media that accidents where caused by one or more of the drivers boozing?
