It takes 1/10 th of a second to blink your eye. When you are driving at 60 mph, your vehicle is traveling forward 8.8 feet every 1/10 th of a second.
That means, if a tailgater is following one half of a car length (approximately 8.8 feet) behind your vehicle at 60 mph, all that separates the two of you is...the blink of an eye!

if you attach numerical value to the letters in "attitude", it adds up to 100!
A T T I T U D E = 100%
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100
cool!

Q. With just 1/12th of an inch of water on the roadway, each of your tires has to displace what amount of water per second?
A. 1 gallon

Drive the speed limit. Lead-footing at 75 mph, when the posted speed limit is 60 mph, will cut your fuel economy by more than 10 percent. At a $1.70 per gallon, each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph (the optimum speed for highway fuel efficiency) is costing you 10 cents more per gallon of gasoline. If you drive at 75 mph, in a 60 mph zone, you are paying 30 cents more per gallon!

The tire pressure of commercial trucks is higher than the tire pressure of passenger vehicles. The truck’s tires themselves are also much larger. When a blowout occurs, this combination of greater tire pressure and larger tire size can create large high velocity tire fragments capable of penetrating your windshield.

Each year, people toss an estimated 140 million cigarette butts onto Texas roadways. Picking up this roadside trash and putting out the grass fires, costs Texas taxpayers over $30 million dollars each year.
What is thoughtlessly done in a split second, also takes twenty-five years to undo. That’s because it takes twenty-five years for a single filtered cigarette butt to fully biodegrade.

There are two pips in a beaut, four beauts in a doozie, eight doozies in a lulu, and sixteen lulus in a humdinger.
that means that a humdinger has 1024 pips....

An analysis of federal crash data has discovered that when rear seat passengers are not wearing a seat belt, they triple their own odds of dying in a head on collision and double the odds that the driver will also be killed.
By not being restrained, the rear seat passenger becomes a back seat bullet - a deadly weapon sitting in the back seat. Researchers calculate that if 95 percent of all rear seat passengers buckled up, they could save 800 lives and eliminate 65,000 injuries each year.
that means if you ride in my car, you're buckling up.
