Ok, so today I went to pick my sister up from school. Well as I driving back to our house (we live less than a mile from the school) we see this cop sitting at a four way stop. Well my sister realizes she's not wearing her seat belt and decides to buckle up. As I'm driving I look in the rear view mirror and notice that he's right behind me. Then I see the lights flash, so I pull over. Now I wasn't speeding, talking on a cell phone, running stop signs or anything. Well he comes up to the window and says that he saw my sister not wearing her seatbelt!!! He asks for my license, and well, I didn't have it on me. I know stupid. Then I couldn't find proof of insurence anywhere. So anyway, I was sure I was gonna get a ticket and was totally ready to accept it. Then he decides to give my sister the citation and told her she'll have to appear before a judge in two months. Do you think this sounds completely unfair?

If fuel consumption and emissions are such a concern wouldn't it be wiser to impose limits on the manufacture of large capacity engines?

I know the 2-second rule, but the 4-second rule... it is not mentioned in my Advanced Theory of Driving (6th Edition). Hope someone can enlighten me on this, thanks!

for the past few months my flat mates have gone out and randomly stolen road signs and island cones whcih they leave in our hall..
..They have now gathered together a total of 9 signs and since last night one huge island cone.

isn't this illegal?

the hall is so full of stupid signs and my talking to them isnt getting through to them.

how can i make them realise what they are doing is wrong... dirting up the house and taking up what little floor space we have in the hall?

That is what Bohmte, Germany is doing at the moment. Starting on the 12th of this month, this German town eliminated all its stop signs and traffic lights in an effort to cut down on the amount of accidents.

http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2007-09-11T123405Z_01_GOR145124_RTRUKOC_0_US-GERMANY-TRAFFIC-ODD.xml&pageNumber=0&imageid=&cap=&sz=13&WTModLoc=NewsArt-C1-ArticlePage2

This is just like how the Autobahn cuts down on accidents by eliminating speed limits.

Could we learn a few things from the Germans and their wise driving laws?

The White Speeding Signs with the Speed numbers listed on the highways and roads, and interstates, are showing us the MAXIMUM Speed allowed by the law, not the Officers. They Officers uphold the laws, just like the Military does not tell their comanders they dont want to fight, they do it, they took the oath to uphold the constitution. We have the choice as Drivers as to weather we want to break the laws we learned and that are posted. If we go through a red light or stop sign, then we broke the law, if we speed any numbers over what is posted, then we broke the law, If we dont have our seat belts on, then we broke the laws, If we dont turn on our turn signals or cross over a solid white line to change lanes, then we are breaking the laws A solid White line is to be treated as a Solid Wall or barier and not using your signals will leave you possibly at fault in incodents as you are not letting anyone else know your intentions of changing lanes or turning off. So Quit complaining

I find that seeing people merging in the last possible moments, cutting off other drivers, running amber signals, turning left after the light turns red are all really getting to me. I feel I used to be a cautious driver but seeing people actually getting ahead by being aggressive has made me drive more aggressively as well. I feel that by being safe and nice, you really get screwed. It actually scares me to see this change in own behaviour. Am I the only one who feels this way. There seems to be a complete breakdown of order in our roads.

I was watching a tv documentry about an ambulance crew in Liverpool, UK and they were going on a red call to very ill child who had stoped breathing. Well on the way they had to go down a narrow street with parked cars either side so the road was a narrow one lane road. While they went down there on blues and sirrons a blue metro just stoped in the middle of the narrow street and just sat there for ages. Inside the car were two OAP's wife and couple who thought the ambulance was a polie car pulling them over so they just stoped and waited. after a few mins the paramedics got out and told them to move!!! Do you think old people should have to re-take thier driving test ??? I DO!!!

I'm 17 and I just started driving 5 months ago, it's still hard for me to stay in my lane. My mom says it's because I should hold the wheel with one hand not two, but I feel like I don't have complete control over the car with just one hand on the wheel. What can I do to make it easier to not swerve so much?

You'll have someone directly behind the vehicle in question, and they sit there and wait for that car to turn before going straight. Meanwhile, everyone behind them is upset because they want to go around. I mean it may be the rules of the road, but DMV instructors don't teach you how to drive in the real world. If you live in a big city, (over a million) you'll know what I mean. You'll be trampled. How about people that stop at the end of the on ramp to wait for cars to go by instead of matching they're speed and merging?

I would think (hope) that police go thru some sort of psychological testing to see if they are prone to violent crime. But I keep noticing especially in the Dallas-Fort Worth area police getting charged, caught and involved in violent crimes and sexual crimes especially. I know there is not much incentive not to do it for them as for a normal person because the punishment is severly less like paid leave, 1 year, 5 year probation etc. But shouldn't we screen police more heavily. I actually call someone now especially when my wife is in the car if a cop pulls me over just to have some to call 911 if need be and to have a witness, just when I am pulled over (rare) and sometimes even if I see a police officer get in the lane behind me without pulling me over. I am not trying to be hateful but the DFW police honestly scare the crap out of me now days. Does anyone have some logic for why so many police seem to be committing horrific crimes at such record levels.
