that when you change lane (more specifically to your left) and the approaching car hits you at the back, the one changing lane is at fault?

beneficial?
Personally, I think that the cell phone ban has made in less safe. Now when dialing, you are sneaky about it and taking ur eyes off the road longer because you keep the phone out of sight. Then in addition to having the distraction of being on the phone, you are now distracted because you are looking out for police officers.
Now, I was one to always pull over and use the phone even before the law, because I do find it distracting, but when I didn't, I think I was much safer then I do it now.

Anyway I was just curious if this law was beneficial because if so, then they need to concider ipod laws. When I first got that thing and didn't know what I was doing I prayed for my life and others as I tried to drive and work the ipod. Eventually I got tired of it and just stopped using it, but I see it as a danger as well.

I'm 17 and I hate driving with my mom. She's hates everything I do! She tries to give advice but instead she screams at me and nothing makes sense. Today, the green light changed to yellow and I had to stop really fast. I was too far away to go through the light and too close to make a smooth stop. And she screamed and shouted that I have to stop doing that. How can I keep this from happening from me?

Lots of road courtesy has gone by the wayside over the last decade...and cellphones are not the only culprit to blame. Drivers' education, respect for fellow man (or woman), and lack of proper highway policing are indeed also to be mentioned.

However, I'm specifically curious as to what happened to that good old courtesy of flashing headlights at oncoming drivers approaching a police speed-trap that one driver has just passed. Do you remember the day and age where you couldn't drive anywhere at night without someone flashing you about the police up ahead?

Because I crashed my truck into a ditch last night and had to walk about three miles in the middle of the night in cowboy boots to get back to the ranch. Don't say 'take a cab' because they don't have those here.

I have a road trip coming up and dread it if the day is sunny- the area where the windshiled washer comes out is shiny but not chrome and the sun at a certain angle casts a reflection right in my eyes- even with sunglasses on it is HORRIBLE. what can I do- I was picturing duct tape.

If a driver is driving on the interstate at night with his headlights off, what specifically would law enforcement charge that driver with? What is the proper name of that offense, as it would appear on a citation?

Then you could get a reduction in car tax if not taken a re-assesment then car tax would increse to double normal cost , good idea or not.

I always like to play it safely when driving , however sometimes aggressive drivers get me.

Whats the correct action when someone is aggressively almost sweeping u off the the lane ?

Stand your grounds and let them correct their path?
or just slow down and get out of the way ?

I'm tempted for the first option at times , but reason tells me to go for the second .

Which is correct ?

When i get stuck in traffic cars will move just a lil bit forward, therefore i dont really need to let my clutch all the way out when i move forward i normally jus let it out until i move up behind the car and then push it back in. Is this bad for the clutch? Will it burn it out?
