This is a great article and, imho, the best advice is to do your research. I obsess over researching any significant purchase and almost always end up with a solid product that does what it says. When the product does what it is supposed to do and does it well, I forget about what I paid for it. If the product does… Read more

Absolutely! A license should be earned. Not just what is basically buying one here in the US. And I should be quite difficult. If it doesn’t have a 65% fail rate on the first try, time to make it harder. Read more

I never had to parallel park during my test in CO. In fact, all I had to do was putter around a suburban neighborhood maxing out at 35mph. (Protip to Denver 16 year olds, Thornton DMV.) I was taught to parallel park roughly a year later on a fairly steep hill alongside the “cash register” building downtown by a now… Read more

I agree with the idea - why are we testing parking during the driving test? How about three different tests - parking, driving, and skidpad testing? Each is about half an hour or so. Parking - youdo your parking maneuvers using dummy cars and cones and situations. Driving - merging, passing, indicator useage, mirror… Read more

If anything they need to make getting a license more difficult, not easier. There are way to many people on the road that have no business what so ever behind the wheel of a vehicle. In the US it’s damn near a given right to have a license no matter how crappy of a driver you are.

I’d prefer “Can you pass this… Read more

I would like to see either a) a test of the driver’s ability to back up a long confined distance (like in an alley) and b) a test of their ability to manuevar the car out of a parked-in situation without bumping other cars. Read more

I disagree. This shows car control, that the operator is aware as to the size of the car, placement, and how to safely reverse the car. Read more

I was at a bar and the guy next to me was a Marine. We ended up going to the restroom at the same time. I did my business and went to leave. The jarhead said, “hey squid! When I was in boot, they taught me to wash my hands.” Read more

Would also say it is due to how safe he is. The amount of planning he did to make it safe is phenomenal. The amount of planning that goes in most street races is not even one percent of Roy’s planning. Read more

It kind of seems like it’d be more confusing that helpful to me. But then I can’t watch the video. And since I’m already half-competent at backing a trailer, it’s probably not intended for me. Read more

the mustang guy was reckless and did not care about other and himself, driving reckless and driving fast is a two entirely different thing. Read more

This is deeply cool, but I can already see someone trying to back a trailer using just the reverse camera and whacking something with the trailer or the truck itself because they weren’t checking for objects around them. Could be very useful for short trailers, though. I ‘d pull a 20’ trailer over a 6 footer any day.

I said it in Oppo...I’m sayin’ it here: If you can’t back a trailer...don’t pull a trailer. Even my wife who has never pulled a trailer can back a trailer. Truck buying people of the world...you have no excuse to NOT learn to back a trailer. Read more

Please use this part of the comments to get all those Monty Python jokes out of your system.

You forgot about trailers and 5th wheels. Why buy an rv with its own engine if you already have a truck to pull one?
