Safety

Ok so my permit will expire in july ive had it almost 2 years now. The thing is im not a bad driver...when i took traffic(3 dates i still gotta take 1 more) i did good i got b's on all three of them..and i didnt get many points taking off. I just get scared about driving alone and sometimes i think i might make stupid mistakes,btw my turns are bad and i cant really do hand over hand steering :( when im driving. I really need help because my ma said she ll get me a car once i start driving and get my license and i really want it since im going to college in late august and im going to need a way to get around.

...when there is absolutely no work being done and not a single worker on site??

For example, while driving at around 0300 I came across a "work zone" LOL.. There was nothing going on so I kept my speed up.

We just bought a car that had passed safety inspection just two days prior. After we bought the car, we discovered that the lights and horn did not work, the switch for the lights was broken, the car needed tie rod ends, brakes, rotors, and a complete exhaust system because the one on the car is rusted, and cracked. We turned the inspection station in to the Highway Patrol headquarters who oversees the inspections in our state, and they are investigating. What I want to know is this. In this state, it is against the law to sell a car that won't pass safety inspection. Since this was a bogus inspection, and we are paying for the repairs, I don't feel like I am obligated to pay another cent on the car payment. Can we do this, or do I have to keep paying, and take the man to court? Help please, I'm irate.

I live in NY state and I have a permit. I 17 years old boy and I'am plainning to get my license next mouth. I don't feel scared when I drive is just that I make some mistakes sometimes that I can't keep in mind.I tryed to be more careful but everytime I drive, I either make mistakes day, and the next day, I either make more mistakes or one less mistakes When I srive and I swear I was being careful.Today, I went to a highway and there was a yield sing, I though Yield means to slow down but my pain in the *** brother it wasn't and we complain about it in the parking park at some mall.Everytime I tryed to change lines, I turned on the lights to turn to the right and I was looking at the mirror to make sure there are no cars. He said that I can't trust with the mirrors alone because he siad that there maybe a car behind or right next to me when I drive but that doesn't make any since.I see the cars with the mirrors too which I did and If I look back quick too, I may have slow down anyways

I was shopping with my two kids and when I got out to the car to unload the kids/groceries my cart kept trying to roll away. Why don't "they" have brakes on shopping carts... I thought that would be an easy enough invention, like a brake on a children's stroller or wheel chair....nothing fancy just to keep the cart from rolling away!!!

I was wondering if it is bad for a standard car to just go back into nutural when you see a yellow light and then come to a complete stop and let off the clutch until the light is green and start off in one again or when I see that a light is turning yellow from far back or should I downshift into 1 which is better for the car?

Once in a while on my 1987 Suburban, one of the rear drums sticks when I release the parking brake. If I stop the vehicle and press the parking brake down, then release it again, the brake almost always comes free. But it is annoying and the vehicle shakes/vibrates when the brake is stuck, which can't be good. I would think there is some kind of spray that wouldnt harm the brake parts...or could the problem lie in the parking brake cable itself?? Maybe that needs to be sprayed/adjusted... Your answers, as always, are greatly appreciated..

I feel just awful. I bumped into a truck that was parked in back of me in the parking lot of my apartment complex this morning. I waited around for awhile hopeing someone would come out but no one did. It was pouring rain and I couldn't leave a note. I live in a big complex and have no idea whose car it was. I know that I shouldn't have left, but I had no way of contacting this person. I'm going back this afternoon to try and figure out who it was - the damage wasn't real bad, so I'm hopeing i can work something out with them. I'm just so worried that I'm going to get into some serious trouble over a little dent. Has anyone been in a similair situation? Is it still a hit and run if you attempt to find them after the fact?

Please don't tell me what i did was wrong - i know that. I am just really panicky right now - need some advice.

When I stepped on the brake on downhill, brake is working fine. Suddenly, the brake slipped and I am rolling downhill fast. When I got at the bottom, I tried the brake again. It's working fine. Happened to me about 5 times on different instances. Is this something to do with ABS? I'm driving a Honda Civic Dimension. Can anyone help? Thanks.

The car is new, he says he saves gas. I think it is risky and bad for insurance and safety purposes. I need proof so he will believe me. He thinks I am over reacting. Isn't there a danger in this?

cars spend a lot of time burning gas at stop signs with no right turns allowed on red lights. If it is safeto turn you should be allowed. This will save a lot of gas.
