| suggestions on a 95mph ticket in Washington State? | 07 Jun 2006 16:27 GMT | 11 |

Ten states now have laws that let you kill someone you think is a threat. You no longer have to retreat. Obviously speeders and drunk drivers and tailgaters and idiots on cell phones are a threat to you and everyone else on the highways and in those ten states you are now

I have had a U.S. licence for 2.5 years, and geico insurance is killing me - they say i need to hold a U.S. license for 3 years before i can get reasonable rates. Now moving to nyc, i realized that my $600/six mo insurance will go to $900 - more than i can afford.

| 14 y.o. speeder kills two teens and then sues victim's families!!!!!!!!!! | 04 Jun 2006 17:06 GMT | 7 |
Confusing case. It appears this rich lawyer bought her 14 y.o. kid a car even though he can't legally drive and then the kid wrecked the car and killed the two teens with him. Now the lawyer is suing because of the negative publicity!!!

In the late 70s and 80s, most (all?) cars had speedometers that would only go up to 85. Were they mandated by the government? What year did they come out? Why 85? At the time the maximum speed limit was 55.

| Why stop sign is the only one being used? | 03 Jun 2006 03:32 GMT | 29 |
What is the reason why in U.S. stop sign is practically the only sign being used on the roads? I think in 90% cases it is irrelevant and might be replaced with "yield", or nothing at all - on intersections with little traffic and full visibility in all directions.

Well I spent a lot of Saturday and Sunday on I-40, I-95, I-20, I-26, and I-77. I think it was about the most stress free Interstate driving I have done in a long time. I have few observations: - Despite the repeated anti-SUV rants in this group, not one SUV did
