I don’t know if this is everyone’s first thought when you see a ticket on your windshield…
The tiny island of Samoa had to switch sides of the road on Monday as their government decided to switch to driving on the right side of the road to driving on the left. Although the government says that there have been no accidents as a result of the switch, there have been complaints from pedestrians who wait at bus stops that are now in the middle of the road.
Samoa is the first nation since the 1970s to switch sides. They say that the switch was needed since many of their cars were being imported from the USA. I guess the real questions is then- how does a country determine which side of the road to drive on?

As families get bigger most people decided to drop the cool factor of their vehicle and purchase a minivan. Minivans are hard to beat when you consider a minivan’s height and sliding doors, spacious interiors and the ability to fit six or seven people plus luggage.
As family-friendly as they are minivans are gas guzzlers and not exciting or cool to drive. Now you don’t have to sacrifice practicality for luxury because here is a list of vehicles that provide both.
1- Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade Hybrid

This has actually happened to me… its quite terrifying when your car continues to accelerate for no apparent reason! After someone recently died due to a floor mat jamming the gas pedal it’s probably a good thing that Toyota is recalling these things… read more at BusinessInsider.com:
Toyota is recalling 3.8 million cars, due to faulty floor mats. The Department of Transportation calls it an “urgent” matter:
Car Connection: Two weeks ago, the company ordered dealers to inspect all cars for mismatched floor mats after a fatal crash in late August, in which an occupant of a runaway 2009 Lexus ES called 911 to report a stuck accelerator pedal and non-functioning brakes.
Four occupants died when that car subsequently crashed, rolled over, and burned. The cause of that crash was suspected to be an accessory floor mats fitted at the dealership that were too large for the vehicle.
Here’s the models being recalled:
* 2007-2010 Toyota Camry (sedan)
* 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon (sedan)
* 2004-2009 Toyota Prius (hatchback)
* 2005-2010 Toyota Tacoma (pickup truck)
* 2007-2010 Toyota Tundra (pickup truck)
* 2007-2010 Lexus ES350 (sedan)
* 2006-2010 Lexus IS250 and IS350 (sedan)
From MSN Autos:
“For millennia, men and women have tried to understand each other’s likes and dislikes. Diligent researchers, both male and female, have discovered a few reliable gender-specific preferences (flowers, beer, etc.) that will warm the heart of the opposite sex. But for the most part, the sexes remain a mystery to each other. When it comes to cars, however, it is easy to quantify who buys what and why. Market research firm Strategic Vision tracks exactly this sort of demographic data in its New Vehicle Experience Study, which surveyed 130,000 new-vehicle buyers.”
