How severe should a car accident be to actually stop in the middle of traffic and talk to the other driver?

star_puk asked:


I’ve always thought that if I’m driving, and some car bumps behind my car, but very lightly like only 1-3 mph.

Should I always stop and get out of my car just to check the back?

Also, what are the most important things to do if you get into a car accident?

How should two cars turning left in open intersection place themselves?

Gamilstob K asked:


When the different directions are separated except at the intersection and there’s no stop sign, what are you supposed to do if both cars wait in the middle to turn left…and end up blocking each other’s view ?! How should the cars place themselves? The other car always goes to his side of the middle so he blocks my view to oncoming cars, so I don’t even know when it’s safe to turn.

Should a car floor mat go under the brake and accelorator pedals or not?

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

mat_ll asked:


I recently changed cars and I also transferred the car floor mats. However It is too long for the car as it goes under the pedels, it seems to mean I have a lot less acceleration. Could it also affect the brake – and therefore be dangerous?
Is it worth cutting the mat or even replacing it?

MisS_NeE asked:


I was in a car accident and I never got to talk to the police officer to explain what happened and all I was able to do was just give him my license and registration and the next time I even saw him I received a ticket.

Why is it considered more dangerous to talk on a mobile, than to the person sitting next to you in your car?

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
car talk
jaybird asked:


OK..let it be said, first of all, I don’t talk on my phone while I am driving. Does anyone out there think that it is almost as distracting to be engaged in animated conversation with someone who is actually in the car…why is a phone that much more dangerous?…don’t get me started on how bloody distracting kids in the car are.
