It’s time to be brutally honest about that. It’s a lie we tell ourselves. Worse, it’s a dangerous lie. As the roads get more crowded, the threat level goes up. In my opinion, it’s idiotic to argue against things like lane-departure warning because “the idiots will ignore it”. First, that’s a stupid blanket statement. If you’ve ever driven a car with the seat buzzers, you know that this is a crap argument. It’s bloody hard to ignore. Second, as I mentioned before, we all screw up. Yes, some people will ignore the warnings. But most won’t. And, I predict, the warnings will make people more aware of their own failings. If your car tells you that you need to pay attention, most people will heed that warning if only to reduce the annoyance factor. That will yield a net improvement in overall safety.

I put a set of winter tires on wheels on a 2015 Fiesta ST without the TPMS. It takes 20 miles for the system to know it is not getting proper signals – a totally useless system.

You’ll recall the B&B certainty that the Prius would be an unreliable nightmare that wouldn’t make it to 80k miles due to all that new fangled tech.

As with all research projects, it’s unclear if Delta’s super-fast new charging technology will prove to be commercially viable. But a faster charging station is definitely needed to keep pace with electric-car development.

My tester featured the Redline package that’s part of the Premier trim and it had a great exterior feel that included unique black rims with decorative red hash marks, black nameplates with a red outline, blacked-out grille, and black Chevrolet bowtie logos.

well we’ll, I just bought a Colorado zr2 from Conelle chevy. I only have 2000 miles on my brand new truck and my roof airbag curtans have deployed on me. I was just on a fire trail. O need for 4 wheel drive I was In 2 wheel. My roof Air Bags went off. So I believe this isn’t as rare as GM wants people to think. My car is at the dealer right now I believe there will try to give me some bullsh*** that my roll bar and light bar is the reason and try to reject fixing it but we shall see. Because my bags went off in the day time so all my light switches were off. There’s no way a open circuit can effect the airbag module. That would be like saying jumping your battery would make them deploy. Come on this isn’t just coincidence guys. They have a serious problem GM needs to own it and take care of it before a class action lawsuit is set in motion.

5) Finally I understand and sympathize with your dearly held belief that the availability of ‘cheap’ vehicles is a necessity for the working poor, etc. And agree to a degree. However removing all controls is akin to agreeing to the landlords/slumlords who opposed Building Code, Fire Code, etc controls over their boarding houses, flop houses etc. These landlords claimed that these ‘people’ needed a place to live/sleep and that imposing standards would increase the costs. However, is it better to allow the landlords to profit, while people lived in dangerous conditions? Isn’t a societal change and government initiatives such as co-op housing, government backed mortgages, etc a better solution? The post WWII suburban building ‘boom’ in the USA and Canada was largely the result of government action such as the G.I Bill and government backed mortgages. My family and nearly every family in our new subdivision had a 25 year mortgage at a fixed rate of just over 2%, backed by our government. In Canada the vast majority of immigrants dwell in the major urban centres. Each of these centres have relatively safe public transit systems. They also have car sharing organizations, Uber and licensed taxis. Using these in many cases is much less expensive than purchasing, maintaining, insuring, fueling and paying for the parking of a vehicle. I have the figures as that is what my eldest child has done since moving ‘into the city’ despite my offer to transfer to her for ‘free’ one of our vehicles. So the provision of and public funding of a safe, efficient and reliable public transit system in many (if not most) cases replaces the ‘need’ to own a vehicle. And large SUV’s and pick-ups are generally too expensive, too large and totally impractical for these urban dwellers and their families. Therefore when they own/buy they are generally relegated to ‘small/compact’ cars,Corollas, Civic, Elantras, Accents, and Versas being extremely popular. To paraphrase an old car commercial “should safe cars only be available to the rich?”. I believe that all passenger vehicles should be manufactured to relevant safety standards and thankfully to a large degree this is true. None of the vehicles mentioned if maintained would be considered a ‘deathtrap’.

I would argue there is likely a causal correlation between an interest in a car blog and and interest and understanding of driving.

According to reports GM noted five shutoffs but at the time of recall had not received reports on injuries or fatalities. Either way to stay away from possible casualties caused by the problem it would be better to check if the truck does not have the problem.

Also that nice dark winding road usually had trees along the sides and it is amazing how strong a 6 inch tree trunk is.
