    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    As to the additional licensing, here are the statistics: http://www.aaafoundation.org/pdf/unlicensed2kill.PDF The results are troubling. Obviously, if we had more trained common drivers, the statistics would look much better. Worrying about an additional driving level would not do anything. It...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Wait till you see some of the statistics I pulled up on different states. You guys do have a problem down there....it seems you have lots of unlicensed drivers. I mean lots....

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    None of the above. Just that the special license for a sports car, in my opinion, does not make sense. I was poking fun at Chuck (Florida) where if we eliminate Viper deliveries to his state, we could save of 10% of the accidents with Vipers. That is a more significant number that the...

    Congrats on the ACR.

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    I will look for those statistics. Maybe I inappropriately assumed that it was all older people. You bring up a great point. Since you live there, your opinion obviously makes more sense than my reviewing the tea leaves through data. Maybe there is something to the above. Sorry to hear...

    Canadian Auto Insurance

    Thanks very much for the above. It is interesting, because I would have thought it would have been cheaper due to the provincial run health care system. Medical insurance in the US can cause the overall rate to fluctuate greatly. Anybody else with alternatives to ING and their experiences?

    Canadian Auto Insurance

    To all: If someone were to move to Canada on a semi-permanent basis, what companies do Canadians use for their/your auto insurance needs. What would the costs be for a typical car? Is it more or less expensive that insurance in the US? Is there anything special about driving or auto...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Well it seems that a very good post above was missed, again, by the majority of you. Let me spell it out more clearly..... According to the below link, Germany had 7792 deaths for 80,000,000 people in the country, as compared to Florida, which was 18,328,340. So Germany had approximately four...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Oh I can see it now......some kid grabs the Viper, does not have the certification for sports cars, wrecks it and then brings suit. Dodge produced a car that is inherently dangerous,....so much so that they require a special permit. The car should have had an age detection device or a thumb...

    Snow-mageddon/Snow-pocalypse

    Wow....we are getting plastered up here in Jersey. The first case of "Thundersnow" I have ever seen. I understand that Delaware is pretty messed up. How is it down your way?

    Nannies won't neccessarily save you

    It actually may have prevented him from spinning further. You really can't tell. As stated in the other thread, wet conditions and snow can be horrible. Don't rely on them to bail you out every time. Agreed with the above.....hitting it on that road was not the best driving move. In traffic...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    I think it matters on your jurisdiction. Many times, as in New Jersey, the police will not respond onto private property unless requested. They have too many other things to do. For example, if you get into an accident in a parking lot, many times the local police will do nothing about it...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Your points are well put. People using technology inappropriately can have significant negative impacts. Great point. You can never idiot proof a car. You are also correct on the "latest" is not the best technology. I can tell you that from personal experience. Often times, when people...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Janni, I respect your post. Some great insight there. I would respectfully submit to you, however, that the car has changed along the history of the vehicle. As new requirements were put on the industry, the Dodge engineers tackled the task. New federal requirements for any car will...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    A well written response. The only flaw in the above is that I do not believe it holds up under all types of weather conditions. In the wet and snow ESC has advantages that the average driver ( and even above average driver) just cannot compete with. When you look at all driving conditions...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Signed off by Bush, a non-lawyer. Guess you won't be buying any Vipers anymore after 2012. Stick to your guns Chuck. Oh, by the way, don't try to glom off on the lawyers for free work to try to get your way. If you want it, then you do it. I am sure your powers to get anything done are...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    I understand your passion. That is great. You will no longer be a customer for Dodge or any other manufacturer as of 2012. In fact, all the blustering by people is frankly foolish. Perhaps the collective members here should be more up on what is going on. Such "nannies" are REQUIRED by the...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    I understand your points. I am no Dairy Queen driver. Let me ask some questions then..... In the near future, if the base Corvette surpasses the Viper in performance due to advanced technology such as stability control, and the Corvette is priced at 60k and the Viper higher, are you ok with...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    No.....you are cool on that. I got your point. I think that it is the blue hairs that are causing the problems in general, regardless of the type of car. Your point is very well described and I believe true on some points. You obviously will have some people who will rely on the tech...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Since minivans can go 120 mph, having a separate license or qualification or separating them out would make no sense. In fact, I would even state that controlling "non sports cars" at higher speeds takes greater driving talent. Most of us would agree with that. Unless people are going to put...

    Should start snowing again in Southern Jersey by 6 p.m. tonight. VA/Md/Del should be hit by 4 pm. Looks like 12+ inches.

    1) Hope you are ok. 2) I am sure the police will be helpful. 3) Good luck trying to get the jerk (jerks) responsible.

    Snow-mageddon/Snow-pocalypse

    If we get over 10 inches, it will be the snowiest winter on record since the 1800's.
