Yes. That is obligatory in cases such as these.

The headline could have read "mentally ill person suffers meltdown during commute, let's all laugh at him!" but I guess that wouldn't be as clickbaity.

The technology has been around since the 80's. It's working pretty well, I don't understand what advances you want for it to become good enough for mass consumption. Please elaborate on this remark.

Every drop does help. I don't understand this argument. If 1% of the cars at a traffic stop has stop-start, then that is 1% less emissions when the cars are standing still (Which they do a lot in city traffic). 1% is better than 0%, is it not? In Europe at least, the figure would likely be a lot higher than 1%.

I admit it might not be the case for the US, but it is pretty much standard for cars in Europe. This is because it reduces the mileage, meaning less taxes due to emissions.

And since it is standard on a majority of new cars, it soon will be.

It reduces local pollution. It's extremely useful, especially during winter when the air is more still. Even more so for diesel engines.

Except they don't call it a SUV. BMW refers to their X-line as SAVs. Sports Activity Vehicle.

Opel's from that day and age were commonly known as 'pel's in Norway. Because the O had rusted away... I can't imagine that this is any different.

They say everything in America is bigger, and they are god damn right. These things are HUGE and as American as you can get.

I've always loved that generation of Suburbans.

Am I the only one the pictures don't load for?

In the truck drivers defence, the signage is pretty poor. You need some kind of eagle eye to spot that clearance sign and be able to stop your rig in time. It's very close to the overpass and theres a great deal of vegetation around it. Surely this guy cant be the first to smash his trailer against that overpass, and…

I'm guessing that apparatus turned into a bundle of joy for those seated in front of it in a head on collision if the only thing keeping it in place was a bracket. A 15 Kg CRT in the back of your head is sure to leave an impression.

Protip: Make sure your brakes are balanced. Also, less vodka. Thirdly, anyone who speeds in an old Lada must have a death wish.

Same here. Where are you located? I'm in Norway.

Didn't I see the News of the World logo on that clip? Anyway, to answer your critique. I think people should generally get their sticks out their asses. Its entertainment. If you think Top Gear is a serious show about cars then you are sadly misinformed. As to the whole offending this offending that bit. People have…

I've listened to it over 10 times and I can't hear anything. Nor do I really care. The Mirror and News of the World are not worth the paper they are printed on. That people give this any attention at all is beyond me. Even if he said something racist, the clip never aired. This whole mess is retarted beyond measure.
