| I-15 notes | 31 Jul 2009 15:05 GMT | 34 |
Headed back from Vegas early enough that I decided to take I-15 (instead of my usual US 95 to I-10, which is longer but much less stressful). Even by 11am the Cajon Pass was already stop and go SB. Ugly! NDOT has really torn up I-15/US 93 north of the Spaghetti Bowl in Vegas, and

| Constant Speed driving vs. Constant Pedal Pressure driving | 31 Jul 2009 05:30 GMT | 34 |
I drove the section of CA-166, from I-5 to US-101 Sunday (7/26) morning. During nearly 60 miles of the drive I had an intermittent tailgater. On the uphill sections, he'd fall behind, on the downhill sections he'd follow within one or two carlengths. He also tended to

| Slow Trucks 3 Miles Ahead | 29 Jul 2009 21:27 GMT | 8 |
What do you suppose a sign reading "Slow Trucks 3 Miles Ahead" really means? Based on where I saw the sign and the road configuration, it most assuredly does not mean that if you go 3 miles beyond the sign you

If you've been perusing these newsgroups recently, you may have come across the term "viatology". In a nutshell, this is a relatively new term for a science that's unofficially been around for several centuries! It simply refers to the scientific measurement,

| Who should pay for National Health Care? Make the criminals pay!!!! | 27 Jul 2009 23:07 GMT | 12 |
Criminal drivers like speeders and DUIs and red light runners cost us hundreds of billions of $ in medical bills every year by the crashes they cause. I say tack on another $2000 fine for each DUI and $500 for a red light violation and hit the speeders with an additional $100 ...
