This video is part of a series from the Motorcycle Council of New South Wales, Australia. It compares and contrasts front and rear wheel only braking and teaches that effective braking is a combination of both.
I hear many drivers these days talking amongst themselves how they stay in the fastest lane when the traffic is backed up. To avoid the line they then attempt to merge by getting as close to the lane as possible and to the vehicle in order to intimidate the driver to let them in.
Hi, I’ve scoured the net for laws for scooters and I can’t find very much. I live in North Vancouver so there are a lot of hills. My scooter drops down to as low as 20 with some hills so, of course, drivers don’t like this. I move over to the right (bicycle lanes) but have been told that we are not allowed to use bicycle lanes.
Just wondering if you could fill me in on the rules of the road regarding jacked up trucks. I'm often blinded by headlights from those trucks and I would not want to get in a head on with one of them as their bumper is about head high for me. Are there regulations concerning bumper height ? I'm thinking there are and if so it doesn't seem to me to be enforced.
It is not uncommon to watch a vehicle pull up in the parking lot of a service station or convenience store and watch the driver get out and walk inside, leaving the vehicle unlocked, idling and unattended. What better opportunity for a car thief or joyrider can a person provide? Most people will say "I just went inside for a minute." Just a minute is more than a thief requires to leave you stranded.
This weekend I was speedtrapped with a speed measuring device, and awarded an excessive speeding ticket (105 in 60 zone). I have been travelling on a motorcycle in the left lane, wanted to merge into the right to let the car behind me pass, gained speed to get ahead of the cars in the right lane and was caught on a radar.
This Volkswagen advertisement is a thought provoking comment on texting and driving. It's worth the 1:22 of your time to watch the video.
I was walking to my vehicle after work yesterday and watched the woman on the sidewalk ahead of me approach the intersection. She did not hesitate to step into the crosswalk even though a vehicle on her left had stopped halfway across it waiting to enter traffic. The driver was watching intently to her left waiting for a gap in traffic. The pedestrian checked her stride and I thought that she was going to wait for the driver to notice her before she crossed in front of the vehicle.
I was driving my parents car a few days ago it is a Mustang and I got it impounded for 7 days for stunting. The police officer accused me of doing a burnout, revving the engine and fishtailing.
My question is what should a person do if they are the passenger in the front seat of a vehicle and the driver has a heart attack, becomes unconscious or for some reason loses control of the vehicle?
