| Rolling the dice on the law of unintended consequences | 01 Nov 2005 00:11 GMT | 4 |
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/31/automobiles/31CARS.html Looks like a marvelous if rather spendy safety aid... if implemented and used properly. But looking at a picture of a big imaging night-vision display right next to a big GPS display, I wonder how long

| Light Timing? | 31 Oct 2005 18:26 GMT | 14 |
Had to go out early and get a couple of items. I pass 5 different traffic lights. I timed the yellow on all 5. Four ran between 3-3/4 and 4 seconds. One only held yellow for 2 seconds. Is this the way the red light cameras are timed? This intersection has had quite a few ...

As I was driving on southbound US-101, I noticed this sign and decided I'd keep track to see if there really were 8 Thousand Oaks exits. Of course there were 9 exits before I reached the end of the city and entered Los Angeles County. I thought "maybe they didn't count the ...

I'm third in line in the right-turn-only lane; the green right-turn arrow is full on. The lead car is not moving. Her left turn signal is on; apparently she wants to go straight, but got into the right-turn-only lane by mistake. However, she can't change lanes
