Like the person I almost rear-ended this morning when she stopped at an empty round-a-bout. 

I incorporate some hypermiling techniques into my daily driving. But in my view, if you’re doing it on public roads, there is a right way and wrong way to do it.

Also, for the sake of playing devil’s advocate, being a dick in traffic with the intention of burning let fuel and creating less pollution is less dickish than creating extra air and noise pollution that affects those not driving.

That’s why I stopped doing the insurance tracker after about a month. The way it was requiring me to drive was flat out dangerous in my area, especially around 5pm in stop and go traffic.

Safe driving is all about being predictable and consistent. If other drivers are surprised by your actions, then you’re doing something wrong. That ranges from simple things like signaling turns and lane changes up to more complex or counterintuitive ones like exceeding the speed limit to match the flow of traffic.

There’s a difference between that and what this person described, which was nailing the brakes without surrounding traffic having begun to slow in the hopes that by the time you creep there, the stoppage is clear.

This thing looks like a prop for a Cheech and Chong movie.

Yep. Driving in a way that causes significant disruption or risk to others is bad.

If they don’t pay you to take the Zimmer off their hands, it isn’t a deal.

WVian here - Tim is one of the nicest guys in the area. Does a ton for the community. Apparently he only has a small monitor and couldn’t really make out what happened while it was live.

Your Prius will be “forced” off the passing lane by an Audi Avant diesel cruising at 220 kph guzzling diesel paid for by the driver’s employer.

Looking at the map and based upon this population count, there’s no reason the county sheriff’s office can’t handle all policing needs of this “town.”

Been there, know the answer and it isn’t what you expect.

Well, the Supreme Court has already decided that flashing headlights is covered by the First Amendment. I hope that can get sorted pretty quickly. Otherwise, I hope they get disincorporated and some people in power go to jail like in that speed trap town in Ohio.

The forfeitures numbers are terrifying. Imagine you are on a family vacation and some small town cop decides your car and all your stuff is now their property and you have to sue to get it back. 

I actually like Crossovers. Here’s why.

Sidewall is your friend. Because rubber and air are softer than steel and aluminum.
