    For a second I read that as "near NSFW schools." Need more coffee.

    This is down under, so maybe they speed while the school zone is in effect...'cause everything is backwards, y'know!

    Wait, the kids are likely all drunk enough to not be able to stand, so what's the problem?

    They enforce the hell out of school speed zones in my neck of the woods.

    @beercheck: Ditto. My home town would routinely have police sitting somewhere within the school zones - especially during lunch hour when all the kids would jump in their 1980 style chevy trucks to cruise up and down the main drag.

    This story has been brought to you from the archives of Captain Obvious, DRIVE.COM.AU's 2010 mascot.

    Seriously, I love that they do a story on something that's common knowledge for anyone that happens to live near a school.

    I once got a ticket for merging onto a freeway too fast in front of a cop, but in my punk days as a teenage driver, I did 37 mph in a 25 mph school zone right in front of a cop and the cop didn't even bat an eye or feign to come after me.

    @AngryChineseDriver -- R.I.P., Audi R8 Decepticon: It was kind of a BS ticket, as there really are no specified speed limits on an on-ramp; he just felt that I was going too fast.

    Holy crap I didn't think they had room for 300 dealers. So basically if you don't like the selection of one dealer you ride the escalator to the next floor and see what they have? #drivecomaulatestnews

    As Victoria heads into a hot, dry summer, here in Wisconsin the trees are bare, the ground is covered with frost in the morning, and it's once again safe to lock my kid in the car all day. #drivecomaulatestnews

    Average speed for his race was 100kmh. Not bad.

    You can also plug a microwave into the car and heat up pizzas during rest breaks. #drivecomaulatestnews

    In reply to Breaking News: Japan studies noisier hybrids
    I think this is silly to say the least. I understand the problem, but wouldn't a better solution be on the blind pedestrian end of the puzzle? A simple radio transmitter emitting a silent beacon on the car would be picked up by the blind person's stick/bag/wallet/earphone or whatever and either vibrate or tone in the direction of the car, alerting them to its presence?

    Why ruin it for the rest of us? Silence is the only benefit of these damn things. I can't believe we're going around adding sound to a machine we've finally managed to take it out of after 100 years of noise pollution.

    We need to form a commission to, once and for all, actually define the sound of smug.

    Just put a megaphone on every one screaming a constant loop of, "I'M BETTER THAN ALL YOU ASSHOLES, HA HA HA!!"
    That should get everyone out of the way, AND cause more people to throw sticks at them.

    Here’s a solution from when I was a bike riding obnoxious kid: playing cards and a couple of clothespins.

    Of course there are probably no spokes for the playing cards to slap, but I bet there is a cooling fan somewhere.
