This is just a symptom of what happens when you have a government trying to operate like bad parents. None of them want to the be really bad guy by taking things away from the children that they can't afford, so they would rather just live off credit.

Yep, that was the point I finally woke back up and the race was worth watching again.

Exactly. Just run the race. Racing is a show for the spectators who pay to see it and a competition among those on the track. I just can't bring myself to feel for the team who would rather just coast to a win than put on a show.

Blah blah blah. Team orders are the kind of thing that ruin F1. Wheel to wheel all out racing was far more enjoyable than a wink and nod agreement and no one fighting for the lead. If anything, Vettle made the race worth watching rather than having half the world tune out or go get food.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah AWD makes it a lot easier to crawl away form embarrassing crashes. I thought you were talking about the sliding out of control was something to do with it being FWD.

My fault tolerance is built into the fact I bring a minimal requirement and funds adequate for replacement purchases. This seems more like a scam for the people I travel with who can not fit all their belongings into one small bag to attempt to burden me by forcing me to check a bag as they do...

They were Saabs, that is all the provocation they needed to set them on fire.

You think you would have had a better result in a RWD only?

Don't worry, we live in a country where your ignorance is completely acceptable. It is your right to ignore the logical discussion and continue rambling even when wrong.

Crack pipe for sure.

Yes, in a tiny area like Boston it works fine, just as these systems work well in extremely dense areas in Europe... especially when implemented before the proliferation of other transportation systems. Forcing them into systems that already exist, at today's development prices, in place of better functioning systems,…

The fact you assume that my dislike of failed light rail systems in specific regions means I have a specific vehicle type that you disapprove of is a perfect indication of your bias and ignorance.

They seem pretty happy to me...

Again, you are not referencing applicable data and using generalizations. You are free to believe what you like, but remember that your opinion is not fact and should not be presented as such.

So the cop decided he should be allowed to road rage in a marked patrol car because...? People, if someone is following you too closely, look where you are. If you are in an overtake lane, you need to move right as you are obstructing traffic. If you are in the right lane, let them overtake to the left. It's not…

The problem is just because one is wrong it doesn't allow the other to retaliate. Even if you believe someone is following you too closely, you CAN NOT RESPOND. The correct course of action is to complete your pass and return to the right lane to allow traffic behind you to pass. What the officer did was elevate it to…

The 3 second rule is an arbitrary observation of the worst possible vehicle type, with the most obstructed view, with the least attentive driver. Do not cite it as a necessity. That is very much in line with attempting to declare a suggested speed for a curve is the only safe speed at which to negotiate it with all…

You are missing the larger issue here: one participant was a civilian, the other an officer. As an officer of the law you are held to a higher standard than an ordinary civilian. The officer turned a potential aggressive driver ticket for the truck driver into a road rage violation for himself.

Sure, 33ft reactionary gap is actually adequate unless the person fails to react. Remember, both objects have the same velocity and relatively similar stopping distances (with the rear having a greater desire of application).

Don't state generic statistical information as relevant fact if you aren't aware of how the data applies. Just because there is a reactionary gap does not mean that it is instantaneous. You need to understand the fact that you are working with objects in motion and prepared parties.
