One of the things truckers do to ensure they can stop in plenty of time is to create spacing with following distance. Again, it's not the fault of the CDL driver is someone jumps into the spacing they created. |

While the Tesla TV screen depicts motorcycles, I'd rather the driver look out the windows and concentrate on driving, but that's just me. |

I'd also say successful motorcyclists learn how to see things develop in front of them and know how to leverage various skills to avoid a collision. The many years of being on track and how to pick lines and passing slower riders, have taught me to envision places I can put my bike to get out of bad situations. But I agree with you, that I rather have a driver actually drive and not being a zombie behind the wheel. |

What I suspect is, though, continued evolution of the battery. If you compare a 2014 i3 to a 2019 i3...battery size and weight - same. Capacity of battery? Double. I suspect that evolution may continue. Slowly, but it will. Shawn |

All M cars are essentially 4000lbs and people want to say EV's are twice the weight and it's ruining the roads.
Talk about running out of excuses LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Getting away from talking about M cars,AMG,Audi RS etc but the bulk of mass produced run-of-the-mill fuel cars you see every day like kia,ford focus,vw compared like for like with EV's see the electric cars much heavier, like it said in my last DM clip, and that means more road wear and tear, a worrying 'I'm alright Jack' attitude having a heavier vehicle should they be in an accident and someone also mentioned EV lorries also, not even worth contemplating what danger that would bring on public roads.

Some more from Rowan Atkinson on why you shouldn't buy an EV. Before becoming a successful actor he achieved a university degree in electronic engineering and then a Masters in control systems so knows something of what he's talking about (notwithstanding one or two car accidents he had).

a "run of the mill" Camry weighs about the same as a Model 3 and a 7 series weighs much more than a Model S I know that you have crappy 1000 year old roads in England and everyone drives tiny cars, but we don't have those issues here and the average weight of a midsize sedan is the same weight as a Model 3 BMW 3 Series is pretty much the same exact weight as a Model 3 and a 7 Series is heavier than a Model S enough with the nonsense about the weight, it's a ridiculous argument against EV's...stick to the charge times, that actually is an issue for those who don't have home charging Last edited by Socal_R8; 06-09-2023 at 01:12 AM.. |

Glasgow is nuts. The greens are in coalition with the nationalists and find new ways of making life harder for everyone and adding new taxes etc and turning thriving city centre businesses to ghost neighbourhoods by banning cars etc. |
