Quick survey for couples ~ When you go on a car journey, who does most of the driving?

Where ever we go we share the driving on a time basis rather than mileage. If we are on a motorway then we travel faster and cover more miles. My wife prefers the motorway. When we drive in France and Switzerland and Germany etc we still share the driving. While one drives the other map reads and yes she is very good at both. By sharing we can cover a lot of miles with less stress.

Quick survey for couples ~ When you go on a car journey, who does most of the driving?
Well, we're about to do a tour around the UK. My fiance's going to do all the driving, mainly because we're in a hire car and because I'm under 24, it would cost like £100 more to put me on the driver list. But otherwise, we'd probably share.
Reply:I do. I get motion sickness sometimes if I don't drive. Also, we always take my car b/c it's only a few years old--his isn't in the best condition. And I think I'm the better driver (but I don't tell him that!) :)
Reply:I like to be the one who drives, I have a better sense of direction and I am able to make a decision faster.
Reply:I do. When I get exhausted my wife drives, usually for only an hour or so, while I nap.
Reply:when we go out together my husband does the driving , he is such a bad passenger, it's easier that way
Reply:Me, I wish my partner have the confidence to use the motorways.


But my partner even tell the Sat Nav is wrong
Reply:My boyfriend because he doesn't trust me in driving
Reply:I do. The man.
Reply:the hubby does most of the driving

SURVEY: You've hit a deer and your car is FUBAR...?

Do you do the Snoopy Dance because you've got great car insurance or are you calling all your redneck friends to "git me sum of that there venison steak for a hoedown?"





For the scholars: Is hoedown one or two words?





Personally, I be horrified that I killed a deer...but that's just me.

SURVEY: You've hit a deer and your car is FUBAR...?
'Hoedown' is one word.





Also, would you like to meet up for dinner and a movie tonight?
Reply:I don't get this question i am just plain retarded
Reply:None of the above. I pull out a small glowing sphere, bring the deer back to life, it stumbles away and then I get my BUTT KICKED by nearby rednecks who USED to be my friends and who 'don't cotton ta thet kinda 'havior roun' these parts, yu alien sumbich."





If you get THAT reference, you're either


a) A true moviegoer


b) Over 30.
Reply:this question gets a star because of the "for the scholars" section alone.





kudos to you! i needed a laugh. :D
Reply:i would be horrified i would call my mom or dad and tell them what happened and then i would call some one to remove the deer from the road

I found a pair of winter gloves and a pair of mittens -- it was 96 today.





I also found an abundance of rocks, but unlike Futility Knife, this didn't puzzle me in the least. As a matter of fact, there was one that I thought I might keep for my own. (Rocks, it's kind of a genetic obsession.)
Reply:i'd have to go clean it out to find out!


i actually have no idea. I think it is in good shape for the first time in a while....

By the way, when I was staying at a hotel in CA ten years ago, I was watching the news. There was a story about British police cracking down on cell phone use while driving. There was a police car on a British freeway following a motorist who was talking on a cell phone.An electronic message appeared on the top of the patrol car saying please turn off your phone. The motorist complied, and then the sign said thank you. American cops need to crack down on it here, as cell phone use and driving are a dangerous mix.

Survey: Have you ever had a police officer search your car, I have.. (read on)?

I was driving from visiting my mom... I was in Texarkana at the time... A police officer pulled me over.





He ordered me out of the car so I did as ordered my friend stayed inside. They questioned me then questioned him to see if our stories matched (they did).





Then they asked if they could search my car. I said, "yes" so we could go on our way. They took out the seats and emptied our suit cases on the ground and found nothing. Then just left everything how it was and left.





We put everything back in order then drove off. 10 minutes later we got pulled over again! For the exact same thing. Same thing as before was demanded of us.





I said, "OMFG 2 of your guys just searched us 10 minutes ago". He said, "well I didn't". I shut up real quick.





What would you have done?

Survey: Have you ever had a police officer search your car, I have.. (read on)?
No.





I wouldn't have consented to the search. If they had probable cause they wouldn't be asking.





You heard wrong, either there is probable cause or there isn't. A warrant won't be issued unless there is (in theory, at least, that's what courts are for after the fact if the power is abused).
Reply:Start singing that boom chick a wah wah song and smiling...





no really, I would... I always get myself into trouble :)
Reply:there are some crooked cops out there, I probably would have kept driving till I reached the nearest police station and then pull over





there's some weird people out on the roads =/
Reply:No that has never happen to me. That is scary tho
Reply:No it has never happened, but a police officer did give me a ride home, I'll tell you about it later.
Reply:Well, as bad a it sounds.........its kind of like being around here as of late. "Guilty till proven innocent!"


Sad, isn't it.....It really is not quite as bad with the Police


as it used to be! On 1 occasion in Arcadia Fl. had a


Cop take my last $20, beat me up, cut my hair, and release me the following morning. Charge "Vagrancy"


I was not a vagrant till he took my money.


Another time, Hitch-hiking to work.6AM Had my hard hat


on and my tool-belt over my shoulder. Was stopped and roughed-up, cuffed, brought back to the County Jail.


Never told what I was accused of, had to get my parents come down and identify me. When I finally found-out why? I fit a description tall, lanky, long blonde-hair, headed east. Asked them about my days wages their reply, none they just laughed!!


Now if that won't leave ya with an attitude!
Reply:I got pulled over once and, with no explanation, asked if they could "look in" my vehicle. Of course, I didn't have a problem with it....my son (age 14) was with me. They did much the same thing - pulled up the folding seats (it was an Isuzu Trooper), lifted up carpet, for goodness sake, and proceeded to PRY the front of the dash off!!!! Yeah, they left my vehicle a big mess, didn't bother to clean it up. The last thing they did was to pour out the coffee creamer I had just bought - it was still sealed.





I went into the station the following day to file a complaint, and the Sargeant said they had probable cause - because I had bought the vehicle from a guy who was, at the time of the search, incarcerated for selling marijuana.





There's sometimes a funny aspect to things - after we got home and got our purchases inside, my son said, "Whew! glad they didn't check the toilet paper!" I had bought a package of 12 rolls, and the dumb kid had stuck a pipe inside the tube of one of the rolls - it had dropped to the bottom of the package!!!!!!! I would have killed him, but I was afraid I'd get pulled over for a random search when I went to dispose of the body. lol
Reply:if i had time i would have said no both times.... especially if i they didnt have good reason to pull me over in the first place.... my mother works for an attorny that prosecutes cops often, so the next step would be to take the case to them.... i also babysit for a procecuter... im planning on practicing law in the future, id do whatever i could to perserve my own rights
Reply:i would have done the same as you. it makes me wonder why they pull you over to begin with
Reply:freaky. we drove past texarkansas w/o incident. i wouldn't have let them. let them keep me there 4 hourz...no search warrant, no going in and searching. i do believe that's in 1 of the ammendments 2 our constitution. they didn't give u a reason 4 pulling u over and searching u.

Survey: Would you buy a $10,000 USED electric car that goes 25 miles (40 kms) and has 70MPH top speed?

Also, are you aware that any electric vehicle (especially ebikes and electric scooters) can be easily charged from any electric outlet? Example: We have a 150' extension cord that we plug in everywhere, in schools, friends' homes, parks, and while shopping. This "opportunity charging" extends the practical range of our electric pickup truck to almost double, without having to lug around heavy batteries.


http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/1091





Would you buy a similar vehicle? A simple yes/no and your city/country would suffice.





Did you also know that in BC, Canada, some 80% of all electric vehicles are just rusting in fields or storage, unused, for a variety of reasons -- that we have figured out how to fix?

If this planet's climate is in deep trouble from fossil-fuels, is "cost" even an issue, in your mind?





Thanks for answering these survey questions!

Survey: Would you buy a $10,000 USED electric car that goes 25 miles (40 kms) and has 70MPH top speed?
I would never buy an electric car. It is ironic about electric cars considering to prevent "global warming" we should cut down on both carbon and wasting electricity and if everyone owned electric cars imagine how much electricity would be used to charge these junk cars. Not to mention the factories they are made in and all the "dangerous pollutants" that come from those.
Reply:I recently bought an electric bike, but I couldn't afford $10,000 for an electric car with just a 25 mile range. I would buy a similar car to the upcoming ZAP-X Crossover which will have a model that can go 100 miles/charge and over 100 mph for $30,000, as that could serve as a primary car.





http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070622/aqf03...





If I had the money I'd consider a 25 mile/charge electric car for $10,000 as a secondary car for short shopping trips and such (Sacramento, CA), but I'm already making payments on a Prius that have me tapped out.
Reply:I wouldn't buy a used electrical car since the battery, which is the most expensive part of the car, has a limited life time. It can be replaced but I would go straight to buying a new one.
Reply:Ok here is my answer.......No, I personally would not because I live in an Apartment building and our cars are parked outside in a parking lot. So there are no electric outlets. So there would be no way to charge it. But yes, I would absolutely buy one if I lived in a house or a rental property with a garage where I could plug it in. I think electric cars are a great idea. And ethanol is a great idea as well.
Reply:25 miles!!! That would mean you could never go more than 12 miles from home!!! Use a bicycle, its cheaper and healthier for you.





Even for communting I need to get over 50 miles per day, so a maximum of 25 miles is really impractical. I would prefer to get 250 miles per charge. Then again I would prefer that the batteries wouldn't cause a landfill problem either. Most exotic batteries are an environmental nightmare.





I think we are still about 10-20 years away from a practical electric car and we would still need some major technical hurdles to overcome.





One promising battery would be this one:

If that really works it would do away with the combustion engine.
Reply:Yes. USA, Virginia
Reply:No, they are not the answer. We still need to figure out what to do with all the used batteries.
Reply:My understanding is that people are paying upwards of $50,000 to buy a RAV4 electric. I saw one not to long ago and it was amazing.





The fact is: there is a conspiracy by the oil companies to prevent electric cars from becoming mass production. There are about one trillions barrels of oil in the ground and that translates to about 100 billion dollars in oil revenue. They are not going to let that get away.





The Electric Vehicle has come of age. Advances in battery design make them cheap, practical, and dependable. It is only corporate interests that are preventing people from owning them. GM, Ford, and Crystler are fighting the battle for the oil companies in the corporate boardrooms across America.

Reply:no, plus a lot of power plants use coal which is worse than gas. i usually ride my bike if the weather isnt too hot/cold/wet for short distances, and if i was going to invest in something like that id rather just spend the money on a motorcycle that gets like 50+ mpg. plus then i wouldnt look like a dumbass in some freaky electric car
Reply:No. $10,000 for a used car is steep and considering a 25 mile range, it's absurd. I'd far sooner add a $5000 bike to my collection, as I can do far more than 25 miles myself and would love to invest in a far nicer bike than the ones that I currently have. I can appreciate the idea of an electric car, but a 25 mile maximum range is going to be a turnoff to probably greater than half the people that might be interested. Heck, my commute is 35 miles roundtrip.





Oh yeah, Seattle, WA.
Reply:No, way to expensive for its limited practicallity. Maybe people at the old folks home would like it.
Reply:No, but I'd pay 30k for 70mph top speed and 120 mile range. I'd also pay to have the EPA law against converting cars to E-85 repealed so I can convert my muscle car.


Cost is an issue for some, but 12.5 miles from home is nothing in the midwest. I'd sacrifice charging anywhere for overnight charging ethically at my house any day. I'd also like laws prohibiting alternative energy sources on residential plots, considered "out buildings" declared unconstitutional and supporting terrorism... hahaha.


Also, I'd like to see an electric lawn tractor in the big chain stores, instead of two little dealers in Canada.
Reply:NO


A more responsible charging should be on your dime, no mooching on someone else, your "opportunity charging".


Yes


I would buy a similar vehicle for even $10,000 USD, however not an electric, or any other fossil fuel reliant vehicle.

The main reason that electrics will never be a workable solution is in our opinion the poor life of batteries, their weight and irresponsible recycling of batteries of this size.


A key solution to economical and pollution free transportation is with the compressed air car found at: http://www.theaircar.com/


Yes


Cost is still an issue, why would you not only waste our resources but also pay extremely high costs associated with fossil fuel so called solutions?


G.A.S. is the answer - Get Air Sensibly is the solution!
Reply:Your "opportunity charging" sounds like mooching off your friends and stealing from everybody else.
Reply:Actually no. BUT, I would buy it if it went farther. According to that (25 miles) I would have to charge it in the middle of my drive to work. Who wants to have to do all of that? Especially when you're running late or there's an emergency. A full tank of gas can hold you for a week or more sometimes. If the electric car could at least hold me for 3 days, I would DEFINITELY get it. Or even 24 hrs, because at night you could charge it like you charge your cellphone.
Reply:NO! Go to www.teslamotors.com Then you will understand!
Reply:You say you have a 150 foot extension cord that you plug in to schools, friends homes, parks.





That electricity is expensive.





You are stealing power from schools, friends homes and parks.





Would you siphon gasoline from other people's gas tanks?





That is essentially what you are doing when you plug into another person's electrical outlet.





No wonder you like a plug in car. You have other people paying for your electricity.





With respect to your point about fossil fuels, most electricity is generated from fossil fuels, eithr natural gas or coal, so your use of electricity does not reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Reply:25 miles wouldn't get me to work and back. And there is no way I could plug it in at work.





Does it have air conditioning? If not, then no, it was almost 100 degrees here today.





Cost is an issue, we can adapt to change.





So no.

Survey! when on foot if a car driver toots the horn and waves to you, do you wave back?,?
No lol.... Happens loads to me especially in summer when I have a short skirt on, guys always beeping there horns and waving....or slow right down and try to get my attention....Drives me insane....I am a person...not some object of lust...and doing somthing like that going to put me off straight away hun!


Although once or twice for fun me and my friends have beeped the horn and waved to some complete stranger...makes me laugh cos they wave back thinking they know us....bet they spend rest of day wondering who we are lol!
Reply:No I 've done that a few times and found out they had waved at someone else doh.
Reply:Never





i dont walk,i drive
Reply:lol ... if you wave back you can always guarantee the driver is actually waving to the person behind you (who is now thinking you are stupid for waving to a stranger) or if you choose not to wave you can guarantee that you do actually know the driver and they'll slate you next time they see you for 'ignoring' them.
Reply:why not .
Reply:Yep, always, even if I have no idea who it is.

A wave for you!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:yes ...then i spend the rest of the day wondering who it was !!
Reply:nope. only if i know the person. that happens alot where i live, i walk to work everyday
Reply:i usually dont even look cus someone somewhere always seems to be tooting there horn. if they toot again and it is meant for me i would have to recognise the car because i find it hard seeing through the windshield and making out exactly who it is. only if i know the person would i wave.if i dont know who it is i just keep on walking and by now they have driven on past anyway.
Reply:Of course I wave back. An act of kindness, call it friendship if you will, lasts a lifetime longer then animosity. I do not drive, I donate to Greenpeace. but not greeting a friendly driver passing by is beneath me and my station with IT
