That has always been my reply. It is not speed that is the danger, it is the speed difference. That said, I still have to say that the speed limit is not the Minimum speed you have to drive, it is not even a recommended speed. It is the speed that borders on being too fast. If the limit fits the ro...

Ironic that the one who complains about the number of accidents is also the one that complains about people driving below the limit? :] :) Moby, I know that you know this, but I want to say it anyway. Where I live there is a popular scenic stretch of road, it's common for people to drive up to 20 m...

Apple? Meh... what an overrated company. I'd say car industry companies only. Ford, and the return of Jaguar in F1. :D I guess that you haven't heard that they are making a car then... wow, those people from silicon valley strike again, again they think they are smarter than the rest of the world, ...

May be a silly question, if it drives itself, why does it need wing mirrors? A legal requirement for all cars, there are few laws for autonomous cars, and almost certainly none which specifically make a distinction between autonomous cars and others, so the rules will be the same. Secondly I doubt ...

I personally think he's back already.

I don't know where to check, but I thought that Mercedes had used all of their engine tokens, while Ferrari still have a few left. Although that would mean a grid penalty in one race, most of the remaining races have good overtaking oportunities. I voted Vettel. No, it's the other way around. Both ...

Truth, where is Eurytus?
He/she was almost certainly a (the?) mod on the old team, who would get into arguments with people with his non-mod account, close the thread leaving his post as the last word, and ban people without warning.

GoT I would guess might be ruled out by the number of pov characters. Imagine starting out with one family of 8(?) all with plots, each time they interact with a new character, that character starts a pov story arc. That's simplified but not far from how it all escalates. The fantasy is almost never...

Morrisons added an s itself without the apostrophe on its signs, but the full company name is WM Morrison supermarkets, so is the sign an abbreviation? Sainsbury has added an apostrophe on its signs, both are family names. I think Waitrose did it right.

I did a quick search earlier, around£500k was the only number that I found. I need some context to know if that is a lot of money or not. Does the Amazon number include the presenters and producers wages and startup costs for example.

Too bad, I was hoping for Netflix. I already have a Netflix account and I'm definitely not about to sign up to two or more streaming services. It's not that I can't afford it but I'm not signing up for one show only - where does it end then? Maybe they will sell it on to other broadcasters. I'm not...

So I finally played Mass Effect 3.

Regarding OitnB, I agree a little bit about making a prison show that doesn't make prison look too bad, but you have to remember that it's a minimum security prison and some of the characters are inside for 6-12 months for something that would have given someone in the UK a slap on the wrist or a b...

... Re-reading what was written about de Villota's accident, it suddenly struck me that the team said that a malfunction on the car was not a cause. But they didn't inform us about other team-related factors. Did somebody make a gesture to Maria that influenced or misdirected her? Was something sai...

... I would also argue that an autonomous car is harder than an autonomous plane. While, a plane is more difficult for a human to operate from a skill perspective - skill is not an issue with a machine. Driving a car (through a city) is a far more unpredictable environment, as well as the different...

There's already a bigger problem with lapped cars. A car could retire on the lead and final lap, and be passed by a lapped car on its cool down lap.

Ecclestone isn't being nice, it's just the rules that all the teams signed up for. They're permitted to miss three races each season and still be eligible for FOM's WCC payouts.

So I did the calculations for Hmailton and Rosberg for when they have finished a race (Ham 13, Ros 14) and this is what I got: Ham Mean(average)= 1.46 Standard Deviation= 0.78 Variance= 0.60 Ros Mean= 1.88 SD= 0.77 Variance= 0.59 So all the data really shows is that Rosberg has been consistently sl...

Whatever happens I hope that the double points is not the deciding factor, but I don't agree that Hamilton is the better or more deserving driver. Of the four races that Rosberg has won, two of them were won after Hamilton made a mistake in qualifying, he might not be such a spectacle to watch but ...
