GMAC Insurance recently held their annual National Driver’s Test survey, and the results are a little scary, according to WFSB.com. One in five Americans (approximately 38 million drivers) would fail a written driving test.
The insurance company has been polling Americans for the last six years, polling more than 5,000 drivers across all 50 states. The questions that proved the hardest? How much distance there should be between cars traveling on the highway, what to do at a yellow light and how fast above the speed limit you’re allowed to travel (trick question).
Also covered in the poll were questions about distracted driving. While only five percent of participants admitted to texting while driving, a whopping 25% admitted to engaging in distracting behaviors behind the wheel. Some examples are putting on make-up, using an iPod and eating.
The article continues on to further discuss the findings of the poll, and what that means for American drivers in the future. Click here for the entire article at WFSB.com.
Picture it: You roll out of bed, saunter into your kitchen and brew a nice cup of joe. You flick on the TV, settle into your Porsche 911 Turbo with the remote, and start surfin’ (cruisin’?) the stations. Wait… a Porsche 911 Turbo? As your couch?
Hey, did you know there's a car in your house?
If you lived, here that’s exactly what you’d do. Designboom.com, a blog dedicated to industrial design, recently blogged about a 2,000 sq. foot home that had only two design requirements: that the house somehow incorporate a live tree, and that it include a nine car garage.
The architect did one better: he attached the nine car garage to the house…and also built a lift into the open floor plan. You know, so the owner of the house could decorate using one of his nine Lamborghinis.
To check out photos of the garage and the actual lift itself, check out the website here.
