Safety

I went to Defensive driving school because I got a speeding ticket. And they told me that when you are 16 you can only have 1 passenger. But when you are 17 you can have 3 and 18 it is as many as your car can fit. (This is not including family members) But my friend is just getting her license and she said that in her manual (and this is what I remember) it says that you have to be 18 until you can have more than 1 in your car besides family. Does anyone have an answer for this? And what is your understanding of this rule?

Do you think that there should be some sort of regulators on cars to stop them from speeding?

Getting in and out of my BMW 525 is difficult. Irritates sciatica when sitting with legs extended forward to reach pedals instead of more downward as in my wife's Honda Odyssey.

A seven and six year old were killed whist trying to cross the M56 mway Runcorn.As a former paramedic I despair at parents attitudes.Example six year old being allowed to stand up in car through sunroof when car was travelling at 50 mph.But when you try to say anything all you get is two fingers.Still my sympthies with the parents and hope they can live with themselves.

I have just recently passed my driving test at the tender age of 32 and finding that I keep making stupid mistakes like stalling or selecting the wrong gear etc. I am staying local to my home but still going far enough to drive on different roads, junctions, crossroads, and roundabouts. I have taken an unhealthy dislike to right turns I am not avoiding them but if I know, I can go a slightly different route and avoid busy right turns I find myself doing this. Is this normal behaviour with all new drivers? As obviously the real learning has just began now I have passed. I also have to get use to a new car, as the one I used for my lessons was the instructor’s car. I would appreciate any tips, advice that any of you experienced drivers can offer.

Mad mad mad,What idiot dream't up this idea,They should put them on trial now for murder,Where the hell do people go when they breakdown,There are to many accident now with vehicles hitting other vehicles on the hard shoulder and they having started using it yet only on a trial basis,Just imagine a car breaks down , and the traffic is doing 70mph,I would hate to think what a pile up there is going to be with the vehicles all trying to do emergency stops and swerving

If someone fails his vision test at the DMV apartment, what will happen?

I understand this person must contact an eye doctor. However, if the person's vision cannot be corrected, what will happen?

I know of this guy who drives very well. He has vision problems. His problem is near-sighted. This means he sees near objects very well, but struggles to see very far objects.

I drive with him all the time. He drives much better than me. Honestly. He said he has to come up close to read the road signs, and last year at DMV he has troubles reading the small letters to pass his vision test.

My question is: If he fails his vision test in couple months time and his doctor may can't correct his vision, will DMV take away his License? If yes, he is going to go nuts, for he travels very far to work every day, and his cars are very expensive.

when my kids (6 & 10) get on the school bus the driver pulls off before either of them sit down making it hard for them to walk to their seat @ the middle and back of the bus. Are they required to wait until students are seated before pulling off? I mean its a common sence safety issue but is it mandantory somewhere in CDL?
