Cars & Transportation: Safety: “Question: Do you think they should raise the driving, and drinking age limit?” plus 5 more


Question: Do you think they should raise the driving, and drinking age limit?

Posted: 23 Nov 2014 02:54 AM PST

Personally, I think they should.
As so many accidents on the road involve either teens, or drunk driving, or sometimes even both.
I think it would be a smart thing if they would raise the age-limit on both laws.

I personally don't think a kid should be allowed to drive until they're at least 20.
16 yrs old, simply put, is way to young for a child to be behind the wheel.

As for the drinking law, I personally would say 25 would be better.
The reason being is that by then, a person has more experience; than at 21, and are therefore able to make more sound and responsible decisions.

Question: What does it mean to turn 9s in a vehicle?

Don't do it unless you are trying to damage your vehicle. I was with an idiot friend who would jam his car in reverse and then jam on the brakes and the car was sliding all over hell. Probably left a "9" tire mark.

Question: Do pedestrians get the "walk" signal when you have a green left arrow?

Posted: 23 Nov 2014 01:23 AM PST

They usually do not, in fact I'm 99% sure they always do not.

BUT...

Because there is always a but, you have to look out for them anyway. Because if a vehicle hits a pedestrian, it's the vehicle's fault no matter what. Unless the pedestrian openly admits to causing the accident intentionally on the record (and they rarely do), it's the driver's fault every single time. There is, believe it or not, an actual reason for that.

Drivers carry a lot of responsibility. They have to make sure the vehicle they're driving is safe to operate, they have to pass several licensing tests to even be allowed to drive, and they're required to carry liability insurance in case they cause loss or damage to others or their property.

Pedestrians have no such requirements, in fact they have no legal responsibilities whatsoever. Pedestrians don't need a licence or insurance to walk across the road, there are no requirements or qualifications of any kind to be a pedestrian, therefore they're permitted and even expected to be complete morons. That's why the it's always the driver's fault when a pedestrian is hit by a car.

Question: Do race teams put the car number on tires?

Most professional race teams leave the number off the tires and simply place it on the side and/or front and back of the car. The tires typically display the brand name.

Question: What does yield mean when driving?

Posted: 22 Nov 2014 08:13 PM PST

Good answers so far, but I will add: in merging, it means you fit in without disturbing the others. You can't come to a stop on freeway on-ramps so instead you accelerate on the ramp enough to almost come up to the speed of the right lane and to get near the rear half car-length of whatever vehicle is there, then slow if necessary to slide in behind it.

If there is no traffic at all, yield signs at intersections indicate you should slow down (I was taught to 15 mph) and look both ways anyway.
