Texting while driving ‘worse than drinking’
Texting while driving impairs motorists more than being under the influence of drink or drugs, research suggests.
The RAC Foundation found average reaction times slowed by 35% when 17 to 24-year-olds drove in a simulator while writing or reading texts.
Nearly 50% of drivers aged between 18 and 24 texted while driving, it said.
Previous studies had found reactions were 21% slower among those who had taken cannabis and 12% slower among those who had drunk to the legal limit.
Segway Face Plant
This gal does her part to maintain the stereotype that women make poor drivers. It’s a good thing she’s riding a Segway and not driving a car, somebody could’ve died. Like seriously!
VIDEO: Lamborghini Reventon 0 To 60 In 3.4 Seconds
There’s some jobs int he world that are just wickedly cool, one that let’s you take a million dollar sports car out for a spin is one of them. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to ride in a Lamborghini Reventon then check out this video, it’s likely as close as you’ll ever get.
…and though the camera work may not be very good, we imagine it’s tough to keep a steady hand in a vehicle that can surpass 200 MPH and hits 60 in just 3.4 seconds.
Hey Moron, Go The Speed Limit Will Ya?
<rant>Does anyone know this sign means? ANYBODY? For those of you who seem to not have a concept of what it is or what it means, let me hep you out. It’s a freaking speed limit sign and it’s not put on the side of the road for decoration. Unfortunately it seems that a large number of people in and around the Charlotte area are either blind or just stupid when it comes to diving and believe the posted speed limit is a speed they can’t go over. Ok, fine, I can live with the fact your moralistic virtues tell you you’re going to hell if you go over the speed limit but at least go the freaking speed limit. As in this picture, the sign says 55, NOT 40. If you were meant to go 40 the sign would say 40, not 55. It’s ok, if your scared your gonna die if you go over this or get a ticket, whatever, but if your not going to at least drive this speed… GET OFF THE ROAD! </rant>
