Road Rules, Reston style
2008-01-03 06:05:00 Lots of awesome news about roads in and around Reston:First, Rt. 7 will be widened from somewhere beyond Reston Avenue west to Loudoun County. Of course, no public project even tangentially involving Reston (cough cough schools cough cough Metro) can get underway without some nearby, usually overentitled community crying foul. Oakton's currently otherwise occupied, so who's this week's winner? Survey says.... Great Falls!What is particularly irritating to Great Falls residents is the perception that most of the users of the new turn lanes on Route 7 will be Loudoun County residents using the Georgetown Pike as a cut-through commuter route."You are providing cut-through routes for people from Loudoun County," one Great Falls resident said."We are here working with facts. We can't say here are 300 people on the Georgetown Pike; let's build an exclusive left-turn lane for them," said Salahshoor.Funny, we thought being exclusive is what Great Falls is all about. Of course, we can'...
Bali Traffic ?Road Rules?: The Revealation
2007-12-17 05:55:00 As you step your feet in our island, you'll soon notice that we have different traffic "road rules" with those European or American countries. Some of the rules may appear strange to you. And here are some of the "rules" you will observe in the tiny streets in Bali.Beeping "rules". People seems to beep a lot more here. A driver beeps when asking other driver to give way to him, so he can drive through. A driver also beeps when saying hello to a friend he meets in the street or offers transport service to tourists.Hazard lamp "rule" for cross road. The hazard lamps are lit when going straight in a cross road. Maybe the logic is that when turning right or left, we have to light either right or left sign lamp. So, if going straight, both lamp; left and right, should be lit."Rules" for crossing the road "Zebra crossing" for pedestrians. Cars will not stop at zebra crossing, even though you have stepped your feet on the zebra crossing area. This will make crossing the road a little bit ...

The Victorian Police Force, Hard at Work
2007-10-29 11:13:00 Two acts of hypocrisy and idiocy have enraged me this week, both originating at the hands of the Victorian Police Force. Firstly, according to the VicRoads Road Rules manual, in particular - Part 11 - Rule 130 - 1: b) - http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/-Home/Cars/RoadRulesRegulations/- 130. Keeping to the left on a multi-lane road (1) This rule applies to a driver ...

Europe Considers Banning Fast Cars
2007-06-08 05:00:00 Before we even begin to write this, let us just say, Europe would lose billions of dollars in car exports, as well as their reputation if this proposal comes even close to getting past the EU parliament.

Why Do I Watch ?The Real World? and ?Road Rules??
2007-05-11 06:36:00 Damned if I know!

First Impressions: Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno III
2007-04-11 22:06:00 Since I have long been out of the MTV demographic I haven?t watch the channel (except for a few episodes of the current season of The Real World because Brooke LaBarbera is clinically unhinged, and I mean that in a good way) since the last Real World/Road Rules Challenge ended so I was completely unaware that that latest started up until a buddy of mine asked me if I was going to watch it last night. Of course I was going to watch the last great bastion in the MTV reality crown.This time around we get the third installment of The Inferno hosted by some X-Game athlete, whom like most of these hosts, despite participating in death-defying trick is uber-stiff. But really who need an interesting host when your cast is full of nut jobs? The teams are divided into Good Guys and Bad Asses for I believe the second time in challenge history. There was one questionable selection with Davis Mallory playing for the good guys yet every time I happen upon his season of The Real World he is bellig...
