[Stand Up For America Stand Up For America] The Arizona Situation Sickens Me . Stand Up For America: In addition, seems to me that if I can go to a gun show or a gun dealer and have an instant national criminal background check run on me through the FBI, local cops should be able to do the same.

[Motor Trend Blog] Opinions 'R' Us - Motor Trend Blog: And who do you think you are to tell someone or to criticize their opinion, I posted a comment stating my feelings towards the article and the whole explorer situation as a whole and you continue to draw conclusions. You go along putting words in my mouth, I have never said I found faults in his writing, I said there was error in their(the motortrend staff’s) judgment(I’ll switch my spelling so it is not a bother to you) in handling the issue, they have blown the issue out of proportion, by adding all these articles that have truly been poorly written, unnecessary and slander against the explorer.

[Streetsblog New York City] Streetsblog New York City » Today's Headlines: The comparison with seat belts and bike helmets is like comparing apples and oranges. You’re comparing something which is statistically proven to save lives, allows the driver to control the car better by holding them in place, keeps occupants from being thrown out of the vehicle, and which has little or no downside when used properly (unless you’re morbidly obese), to something which has marginal effectiveness in a limited number of circumstances, but which also has serious downsides, including increased risk of rotational injury. I wouldn’t ride in a car without wearing a seat belt, but at the same time I feel perfectly safe cycling without a helmet, or rather I feel wearing a helmet while cycling won’t measureably enhance my safety. The primary way cyclists die is via car-bike collisions. Most other crashes only result in non-fatal road rash, including a fall I once had after hitting a pothole at 37 mph. I was back on the bike next day. Had I hit my head on a curb or some other obstacle at that speed, a bike helmet would have offered about as much protection as tissue paper. As a good example, professional cyclist Wouter Weylandt, who was wearing a helmet, died instantly after crashing during a 50 mph descent in the Giro d’Italia on May 9. Helmets start to lose their effectiveness above 10 mph. Generally they’re pretty much useless at the 20-25 mph speeds on level roads which strong cyclists like myself achieve.

[The Car Connection] Toyota Calls Hoax On Runaway Prius In San ... - The Car Connection: The release went on to state, "Toyota engineers believe that it would be extremely difficult for the Prius to be driven at a continuous high speed with more than light brake-pedal pressure, and that the assertion that the vehicle could not be stopped with the brakes is fundamentally inconsistent with basic vehicle design and the investigation observations."Clearly, Toyota is staking out its territory on the matter, but it remains to be seen if Sikes and/or independent investigators will be able to show that the "runaway Prius" was more than a Balloon Boy-like attention grab. For more details on Toyota's ongoing unintended acceleration issues, and the recalls surrounding them, check out the links below.We'll keep you up-to-the-minute on the situation as it develops.
