Saw this article posted, figured it's rare to have hypermilers in the news at all. Enjoy!

I'm still holding my breath from 3 years ago when this fabulous news was rumored;
https://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...ite-36954.html I'll have to ask Alberto for the latest, and continue holding my breath. |
Might explain the sudden prolifferation of high visibility student driver signs here in Reno. Cant be that many driver schools, can there?
|
I wonder what the purpose of student driver signs is? Not like I drive any differently, because they still have to obey all traffic laws. My assumption is there are a lot more driving teachers these days. I'd bet the majority of kids get paid instruction. Back when I was learning, that was hardly a thing. Nobody I knew had paid instruction. At 15, I did all the driving when accompanying my parents, which is how I learned.

My thoughts were: keep you from being violently assaulted post faux paus driving incident. Cut some one off and not get shot, perhaps

Driving slow
When I drive my wife's car, C-Max PHEV, I always turn on emergency flashers if I know I am going to drive 10MPH or slower than posted, so far *knocks on wood*, nobody has honked their horn or gave me the #2 salute :turtle:

Ah, laws must have changed.
I think when I was 15, I just had to take a written test and pay a minimal fee to get the learners permit, which allowed me to drive whenever I was accompanied by an adult licensed driver. At 16 I just had to pass a written and driving test, pay another fee, and got a full license. Motorcycle endorsements required a class to be taken if someone was under something like age 25. For a highschooler, the $250 fee for the 2.5 day class was pretty steep, but well worth it. |
