The inspection here is carried out by private firms. The results are stored in a central database so car buyers can look up the car's history, which is great. I would call it government baby-sitting. The government has no interest in the data other than making sure people aren't driving dangerous cars.

To be honest I think it is kind of scary that there are no safety inspections. They at least weed out the most dangerous cars.
I think we are roughly in the same climate-zone. They are pretty hard on rust-ridden cars here. If your car is older than four years, it has to undergo an inspection every other year where they check it for a lot of things including rust, by taking a small hammer or screwdriver and poking at the bottom of the car.
I hear you We have the same sort of climate here in Denmark. A mixture of generally wet weather much of the year, and a lot of snow during the winter where the roads are sprayed with salt to prevent ice for forming on the surface.
That is awesome :D
WTF? Why are they stopping to help!?
The ad got the job done, why spend more time and money making it more "realistic" when people get the point. Besides, Midttrafik is a publicly owned company, so every time they spend money it is tax payer money they spend, so I'm fine with it not being the latest in CGI. And it wasn't that bad to be honest.
Taking the bus, or bike for that matter, here in DK doesn't mean you're poor. My boss makes 150k a year and he rides his bike to work. It is just more practical for a lot of people who work in the city where vacant parking spaces are kind of like unicorns, people have heard of them but never actually seen one...
ya think? :b
We already have a Senna remembrance day in my family.... so there!
Looks great, but my question is: It is still made of the same cheap plastic they use for toys in Happy Meals?
Like all other VW, with the exception of the Scirroco and the Passat CC, it is just one big yawn... It's like they are trying to make the next generation more boring than the previous!
American liability laws are insane. How they haven't completely crippled American business' is beyond me. Hopefully this lawsuits will be thrown out!
I guess I'm that clever bastard. I wouldn't have sex with Carmen Electra, though I'm gay so I don't know if that counts ;)
Meh, the Royal Danish Navy has two already in service. One of them is hunting pirates of the coast of Somalia right now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMS_Absalon_%28L16%29
It's necessary for it to be stealthy :)
He shouldn't escape, but man up and go before the court like a man.
Basically the idea behind the Danish NemID-system. Everyone has it and it works brilliantly :)
Got a Mazda 2 in September. I'm a student, i.e. limited funds, and it was the best value for money at the time. I'll be starting a full time next month so I'm saving up for a Focus ST :) Returning to the Ford-fold. My family has ALWAYS driven Fords, so I had to defend the Mazda to my dad with the argument that a lot…
I really don't get Americas love of 4-way stop. Why not introduce yielding to the car on the right instead? It works brilliantly in Europe, and for the more busy intersections making it a full yield for crossing traffic. We don't really have that many stop signs over here.
