It is a safety issue. The shut down should work like this: Once activated, it triggers an alarm in the vehicle with a message: "The vehicle will be disabled for failure to pay." then when the car is turned off by the driver, it cannot be restarted. Much safer this way I would think.

Too close for comfort.

If they were .5 seconds faster, this moment here could have got very interesting.

OMG - just watched this with the Skyfall movie soundtrack on - wow - very cool, bolshoe spasibo!

Yep. I debadge my Audi S6 Avant and drive like a bat outta hell regularly. Only 360 HP tuned, but plenty enough to have fun and never get a sidewise look from a LEO.

The original VW Rabbit. Boxy perfection. My 1975 Rabbit was a trooper when I lived in the city. Never let me down. Yes it was a slushbox, but it was cute as a button, easy to park and simple to work on.

For purely selfish greedy reasons, I wish they would keep selling in the USA in hopes that the resale market stays at the ~30K level for the Elise. I'm afraid that the lack of anything new from Lotus will be an excuse for some Lotus owners to ratchet the resale price upwards and I'll never get one - waaah.

It sounds like, according to the source article, that the device can distinguish between cell, data and text "frequencies." So I would assume, that if you are a lone driver and the LEO picks up a text frequency, then you would get nailed.

I dig it. It's nice to have everything in one drop down like this. Also, I like staring at my large avatar in the upper right. Thanks.

I like the 928-esque rear end.

OMG - People having sex everywhere! What's going on?

Wow Anchor Steam really? List just lost all credibility with me.

What a PR mistake this is. Calling attention to his ugly car can't be good for business.

Another problem EVs solve - all this oil changing nonsense. BTW - every 3K miles? PPPPlease!

While I doubt many people read or were even aware of this website, the CHP was running a PSA on TV and in movie theaters about lane splitting. I was surprised by the reaction of people who saw it, completely unaware the lane splitting was legal. That's a good thing, since it could help improve car drivers attitudes…

Raphael, you do know that this is one douche cyclist right? Not all cyclists. That would be impossible for this guy to be all cyclists, because that would mean he would need to be everywhere at the same time, unless he is a super hero of some kind, which is isn't - just one douche cyclist.

In general, I think I support this, but I am concerned how this will affect social map apps like WAZE which rely on user feedback while driving to be effective. I can tell you, the police reporting function has saved me a few speeding tickets I am certain.
