Make no mistake, no politician, D or R, wants to run afoul of the fossil fuel lobby. Besides, there are a lot of blue states that depend on the oil industry.

When Tesla stops crapping out $hitboxes maybe Jalopnik coverage will be more favorable.

Bad things apparently happen if you disconnect DC charging while it is still going. I’ve had someone charging before me disconnect before stopping the charge, and it disabled the DC fast charger, which then required maintenance.  This shouldn’t happen, but can’t trust people either.

I’ve noticed that. Our house is worth significantly more than what we paid for it or owe on it. I wouldn’t be against selling and moving, but something comparable is going to be as expensive - if not more so - so it isn’t worth the effort.

You don’t have to tell me about housing. I’m in the market right now and it’s obscene.

Housing is going through the roof also. Used cars are going up in price in part because people would rather have a bigger more luxurious car than a new car of smaller size. Hopefully there will not be general increase in inflation, just the big ticket items that you haggle over.

Probably assuming everyone else is at least half aware of their surroundings and other drivers.

To be fair, he is also a sociopath.

I do this too. I think it’s fairly normal. It helps to get the idea out of your head even if you’re the only one that hears it.

I think my worse habit that’s only gotten worst over the years is the way I attack on/offramps. I’ve memorized the perfect driving lines on all the ramps in my area (at least the ones I regularly take) and if there’s no other cars around me, I’ll hit it with everything I’ve got. Regardless of the vehicle I’m in.

Same boat.  I’m aware enough to know I’m not gonna get hit, but like to keep it close so I can lay on the horn and let these jackasses know they’re jackasses.

My worse habit? Puddles (yes I have the mental age of a 10 year old sometimes). I love driving through them, after of course checking that I’m not gonna blind anyone else with water or soak a pedestrian, as I have done that once after leaving work, just saw this huge puddle at the end of the driveway onto the…

none.  im a perfect driver.  just like my grammer.

When by myself almost hitting or letting aggressive asshole drivers hit me, excluding massive busses and semis as hitting me/them would end with me as a red paste. I will react enough to avert an actual collision but will cut it extremely close. When any passenger is in my car I drive very conservatively and…

I gave a tailgater a quick love tap brake check yesterday. As soon as I did it, I said to myself, “I gotta stop doing this.” Not worth it. Thanks Jalopnik, for the well-timed online self intervention.

I take corners too fast. Not dangerously so, but my State Farm discount probably drops a few bucks every time I do it. I try to balance it out with smooth acceleration and braking. 

Came here to see how many people admit to being on their phone while driving...

Only if you promise this isn’t gonna turn into a slideshow at some point! :)

Driving while sleepy AF

Definitely has to be driving without my seatbelt. Considering I drive my Porsche on the track (seatbelt always snugged up), I should know better.
