So I'm making a right hand turn from a dedicated right-turn pocket
onto a street with an "on-ramp" style merging lane so that traffic
turning right does not have to stop (in fact, this intersection is
signed as such). In front of me is a riced-up Honda Accord with

Driving in right lane (prolly 1st mistake) relatively slowly (SL + 3) when a
van catches up in the left lane, pulls even, and matches my speed.
I brake sharply and slow to 55.  Van shoots ahead and also slows to 55, so
there he is, still matching my speed (what the F for??????).  ...

Hello: Have any of you tried any of the gas-saving tips that float

KTLA reports that a Nissan Sentra driven by a 19 year old and crammed
with 7 other teenagers (2 of which were riding in the trunk) went off
a cliff on Mulholland Drive and down a 250 foot embankment. The mishap
occurred at 3:30 this morning as the kids were returning home from a

For example, suppose an idiot speeding trucker jacknifes his truck
and shuts down a busy freeway for say an hour. The number of people
stuck in the jam or forced to take alternate (slower) routes may be
10,000.  At say $10 an hour,  that's $100,000 he's cost his fellow

Three of the victims were kids but don't expect this child abuser to

an accident and forget it.

Man, I wish I had bought one some time back. Right now, I'm test
driving a family member's who's looking to sell it, and I've been
having a blast! Makes navigation through the city *MUCH* easier when
curbs, islands, and shoulders are no longer obstacles!

Radio program yesterday discussed why DC was 2nd worst city for accidents, with
5.1 years, on average, between DC citizens having accidents.
The callers into the program speculated that there's an awful lot of
transients, including foreigners, that drive the streets.

A local radio station (KIIS-FM) is giving away free gasoline. As
always, a bunch of blithering morons have been lined up since 7 AM to
save $30 or $40 on gasoline. In exchange, they'll happily be several
hours late to their own jobs, and cause traffic delays and lost

Someone on another board with an 06 VW Beetle says his  cost $300!!!!!
Is that true for american cars too??   If so then it's just more proof
of the conspiracy to make cars more and more complex so the auto
makers can charge more.

Heard a very telling interview on WTOP out of DC.
DC had made the top 10 road rage cities.  So, the WTOP reporter decided
to call the police of the very best place to drive, Minneapolis, which

I'm currently visiting relatives in Pakistan, and you'd have to see the
way people drive here to believe it.
1. When coming to an intersection, just coast on through and other
traffic just slows down to avoid a collision.  Amazingly, watching

Is the following true?
In rain (or snow) one should try to be in top gear (say, 5th), rather
than in 4th, even if you strain the engine. The reason is that the
vehicle is less sensitive to the gas pedal, and that makes loss of
