Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 23:00:05 +0000

When a student fails a driving test, they sometimes respond emotionally.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:32:09 +0000

We sat through this whole thing video of a high-speed police pursuit in Inglewood, Calif., waiting for something horrible to happen, because it’s the internet.

The best part about the future is we don't know what's going to happen. If you told me that everyone would have a pocket device that could give you the weather, listen to music, call people and surf the internet 10 years ago, I would've laughed. Now, here we are doing exactly that. What about our roads of the future?

Forgetting where you parked your car always gives you a sinking feeling. However, it may have been for the best that this German man lost track of where he’d left his vehicle in December of 2010… That’s because his forgetfulness happened to be fueled by a long night of heavy drinking. Fortunately for everyone else [...]

You’ve probably heard that red cars get more speeding tickets, and that they cost more to insure. Contrary to popular belief, neither of these oft-quoted arguments against going red are true.
