Are we including the police themselves in this purge?

Have to get there first.  Here, my off-road place is 194 miles up the highway, and then about 35 miles of trail.  :(  

How about instrument clusters that light up when you start the car? Then the idiot drives away thinking his lights are on, when they aren't. 

Im against this. It’s not a big deal, and it will drive up the costs if cars. Just like mandatory tire pressure sensors, mandatory back up cameras, and mandatory electronic stability control. Britain has strict headlight laws. I'm guessing this example is where it's coming from. I feel like if I want an extra safe…

Instead of addressing the brightness of DRLs-only, they just need to get rid of backlit gauge clusters when the headlights are off. If you get in your car at night and can’t see your gauges, it’s obvious your lights aren’t on. Don’t know why/when we decided that gauges needed to be lit all the time.

Really good lighting destroys the driver’s night vision, so anywhere the lamps don’t illuminate the driver sees nothing. Of course that’s where pedestrians and bicyclists and animals will be running from into the path of the vehicle.

I certainly miss the days when incoming headlights didn't burn the retinas out of you eyes. Also a lot of the new light the beam is to defined, it's no problem when your driving around when it's flat or in an urban area with street lights but when in hills out in the country you often can't see far enough ahead if…

I actually feel the opposite. I have no issue driving with traditional headlights, the only issues I encounter are being blinded by other cars on the road with aircraft spotlights, and the incredible amount of glare that all of the LCD displays inside of modern cars produce.

I agree with ranwhenparked about ‘bumper creep’ and about the smart integration of the MkIV Golf’s cut line into the design, but I’ll always be fond of the MkIII Golf when a bumper was still just a bumper...

You are correct, but the parents are still ridiculous. The kids in a newer Honda Fit with good rear facing child seats are in no significant danger.

Setting aside your point, there is also the fact that the Honda Fit is a perfectly reasonable and safe family car. It’s not like she is driving an old Dodge Omni.

Ugh, I get so tired of the “safe for children” stuff.

Ugh, I get so tired of the “safe for children” stuff. I get that it’s a selling point and all that, but safe driving habits will go further toward keeping you safe than driving around in a tank carelessly. Stay off your phone, keeps your eyes up and scanning your surroundings, and stay engaged while driving. That…

...per General Motors, the Regal will keep on being be sold in China...

Damn. It’s a car I would have, almost, maybe considered, possibly buying.

1. There’s tons of good lucking trucks.

Those two bumpkins are Mel Tillis (country singer) and Terry Bradshaw (former NFL player).

Design team had to dial it back from this.

Nothing like a post-apocalypse-mobile that has to find a place to charge every few hundred miles.

Remember when Leonard Nimoy pandered the “next ice age is coming” on In Search Of in the 70's?
