Speed limiters on vehicles could save thousands of lives every year. Would you accept one on your vehicle? I would.

Interesting, California has a pilot program on an effort to charge drivers by the number of miles you drive, instead of through gas taxes. (to make up for lost revenues to EVs, which do not need gasoline). They are paying $400 in gift cards -- and a gas tax or EV registration fee credit -- for taking part in the pilot. #California #driving #autos #taxes https://caroadcharge.com/media/zehd2y5s/ca-sb-339_public-fact-sheet_final_remediated.pdf

The only thing car drivers hate worse than cyclists who don't stop at stop signs is cyclists who do stop a stop signs.

I drove a lot this weekend. Soccer, fishing, soccer, and soccer…

I also gave my daughter driving lessons - although I myself didn’t drive, I felt like I drove a car for five hours non stop 🙃

Still, nice to see the sunset while watching my kid to play soccer 😊

Wales to change guidance on 20mph speed limits, transport minister says

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/20/wales-to-change-guidance-on-20mph-speed-limits-transport-minister-says

And the troglodytes win. With help from the media - Guardian INCLUDED. No one ever looks at the very successful roll out in the Scottish Borders (Conservative council). Grumbles maybe, but I know of no one who wants to go back from safer, more pleasant towns and villages. But what can you expect from a Starmerite?

If you drive, you should be aware of a few things:

  1. Tesla recently remotely installed "full self-driving" (FSD) mode on a great many of its cars...
  2. ...and also activated it on at least some of them, in a way that makes it very easy for a driver to accidentally turn it on.
  3. Therefore, if there's a Tesla on the road anywhere near you, it could be using FSD.

Stay alert, and drive defensively.

Private drivers with their own vehicles can now be hailed for rides in Tokyo, marking the first time in Japan that ride-hailing has been put into practice after the system was introduced on April 1. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/04/08/tech/tokyo-ride-hailing/ #business #tech #ridehailing #uber #didi #go #sride #apps #sharingeconomy #driving #jobs

Work (hellmazon) is telling us that solar eclipses are nothing new, and that even though our delivery area is entirely within the totality path, no extra traffic congestion or road hazard are anticipated and routes are continuing as normal. Just wear sunscreen and drive carefully.

After the state has started imposing travel and road restrictions due to the expected traffic volume and number of distracted idiots.

I've been up for 2 hours. I already want to go to bed.

has part decriminalised - but I've still not seen any plans on how they reconcile this with their love of and and acceptable limit for in blood being even less than that in the UK! I fear this could lead to selective enforcement , even and a backlash / drivers feeling "persecuted" and moving further towards right-wing conspiracies (or at least the FDP, who have lobbied for the limit to be increased)

I have fond memories of Carmageddon. I dunno why I do have fond memories of a game that let me mass murder a bunch of civilians at a very young and tender age of 10-11.

Maybe that is why I'm not frustrated as an adult...

I was driving and stopped at a red light this afternoon when some oblivious driver in an SUV absolutely nailed a puddle on the other side of the median and showered my car with muddy water. The stuff looked so bad that I tried to wipe it off when I got home…and it wouldn’t come off. I don’t know what kind of petrochemical that was in the ground but it was sticky as hell.

I tried soaking the car in car wash solution—nope. I tried a clay bar—nope. Then I tried Mothers R3—and it came off!

Lessons learned:

  1. Don’t drive into puddles, what the hell. If others can avoid it, so can you.
  2. Keep your window closed when stopped at a red light on a wet day—good thing I didn’t get a personal mud shower.
  3. Ceramic coating wears out after a few years and you need to reapply it, or stuff will absolutely stick to your car.
  4. Mothers R3 is magic.

In Germany in 1888, 39-year-old Bertha Benz (her husband put the "Benz" in Mercedes) went on what is widely regarded as the world's first road trip when she took the family's Patent Motor Wagon to visit her mother 60 miles away. 12 hours later, after unclogging a blocked fuel line with her hat pin and fixing the car's ignition cable with her garter, she arrived. Here's Atlas Obscura's story — an extract from "Women Behind the Wheel" by Nancy A. Nichols — about Bertha, Hellé Nice (the Bugatti Queen), "First Lady of Drag Racing" Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney, and some of the other women who fought at every turn for the right to drive.
