we have just brought a quadzilla jow 300e super utility, it has 2 adult seats. we have added a massive cargo box that can be used as a backrest too. does anyone know if it is illegal to take a child as a passenger? it is definately safe for our son but we're not sure if there is an age limit for passengers.

The car seat I have is old (about 8 years). It was my little brothers. I bought my son a new one and do not know what to do with the old one. Can they be recycled?

Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 mph when you legally can't go that fast on any road??

Why dont they make it 60 mph.. So that the cops don't have to watch out for overspeeding?

Ok people, this may sound sexist but believe you me before I was on the road I never agreed with the saying "Women are the worst drivers" as I didnt believe gender had anything to do with how a person thinks.

1) Girl at round about missed 7 chances all other cars was going around her
2) Girl stopped, didnt indicate, I went to overtake and indicated, she almost crashed into me by pulling towards me as I started to overtake (I was originally 3-4 car lengths behind)
3) Girl hit a load of cones not paying attention to the road
4) Girl went into a road with flood rain causing the car to stop and flooded the car
5) Girl races towards me when I had already started going down the road with parked cars down my lane (Didnt stop to give way as your supposed to) she realised how diff it would be and started to skid

Both fem and male comments welcome, im not saying every girl is bad just every worst driver in the world majority would be female head count, maybe due 2 to over precaution

Isn't it surprising that with the hundreds of people on that bridge, so few died? They dropped 60 feet, surrounded by concrete and steel. Is that a testament to the safety cars today?

I heard that many accidents were the result of inattention by drivers who use gadgets such as cell phones,dialing in to the internet, or even eating while driving. Question is: How can one concentrate on driving while looking at the navigational screen. I understand that some have voice commands but still that interrupts concentration.

My family and I were going to the Mall of America in Minnesota next Tuesday but my dad is now deciding that it might not be 'safe' enough to go now because that bridge collapsed in Minneapolis. So do you think it's safe?

I just took my NY road test for my license. I failed by 5 points. You need 30 points or under to pass and I had 35. One mistake is when I had to parallel park. At first I was too far from the curb. The instructor told me "can you get closer to the curb?" I fixed it and then was fine. He still took 5 points off for that even though I fixed it. Is this fair? My mom wants to file a complaint especially since I'll be starting college soon with most likely no car.

It seems that there were sufficients write ups on the deterioration of this bridge & also many others in the US?

Don't you think this should be a top priority?

Also, don't you think evaluations on our bridges, etc... should be made known to the public always, so the people would be warned of the risk they take when going over these bridges, etc...?

if you had and drove an old car with no alarm on it, what is the most valueable item you would lock in the glove compartment? how much would it be worth? of course no one is going to say jewelry, but what about expensive cell phones? laptops, other electrical devices? in my case, i keep an item worth 500 dollars in my glove box in my car with no alarm. it is a handgun, now i want some opinions whether this is smart or not? i understand that losing this could get me into trouble, but is it really worth it to not have it in there? would you guys put or lock something with that value in your car?

I am getting a newer vehicle soon. Last michigan winter in my little 93 saturn sl2 5-speed slid into many many curbs. It makes me want to get an suv with 4wd for my next vehicle, however, gas is quite pricey for one, also, for the $10k I plan to spend, I could get much more in a car. My question is, are modern cars (2000 or newer) safe in snow? What are the best cars in my price range to consider? Should I just get an suv instead? Sorry, I know that was a few questions...thanks for any real answers.

I heard from a number of people, and on TV that if you strike a spark plug on a glass window (ie. a car window) it will shatter. How does this happen?

In general can't someone relax in sofa or in bed while the RV/Motorhome is in motion? There are lots of movies where you see people sleeping in a RV while it's on the road. Are those just fictional and illegal?

Ok last week my G/F was backing out of a parking spot and she was scrapped by a lady speeding down the parking lane. The other lady placed a claim stating if was my G/F’s fault. The insurance company is also stating that its my G/F’s fault because of Texas law. Well this seems like BS to me. I understand she was backing out of a parking space but if a car is parked on the side of you and if you don’t have x-ray vision your not going to see a oncoming speeding car. There for I feel it’s a 50/50 fault. Because I was always taught to watch for cars when driving down a parking lot.

So can any point me into the right direction to find proof with what they are stating is correct?

The White House briefing said that bridge in Minnesota that collapsed got a 50 rating in the recent inspection. Do you know any way to see what the ratings are for other bridges? I'm just curious if any of the bridges in my area have similar ratings.

As stated by the U.S. Department of Transportation's inspector general last year criticized the Federal Highway Administration's oversight of interstate bridges, saying investigators found incorrect or outdated maximum weight limit calculations and weight limit postings in the National Bridge Inventory and in states' bridge databases.

Incorrect load ratings could endanger bridges by allowing heavier vehicles to cross than should be allowed, the inspector general said. The audit didn't identify any Minnesota bridges beyond noting that 3 percent of the state's bridges were structurally deficient, placing it at the low end among states.
