I'll get out today to find out if it's the same code misfire cyl 3 or if something else is going on. I did notice that there is a lot of condensation coming from the exhaust when I start her up,but gauges are all reading okay. I just read something about exhaust condensation and now I have to find the article again. That's all folks. Happy Easter

Is blacking out tail lights and other things legal in this state?

Doesn't sound familiar. Lights have to be visible from a certain distance, but I don't recall how far.

But i agree. To an extent.

Drivers ed also teaches you not to be in the blind spots of other drivers.

So driving quickly is bad because other drivers don't have time to see you in their mirrors, but drivers ed teaches you to avoid other drivers' blind spots? Does that mean you're supposed to continually change lanes, or are you supposed to continually change speed?

If you are in the blind spot of another driver, both going the speed limit, slow down. You are out of there blind spot and as long as both are driving consistently, you wont be there again.

You can change your speed as much as you want. As long as it isnt over the speed limit, and not slower than 15 under the limit.

Next?

You can recite the book all you want, but it isn't practical in real life scenarios. And no, constantly varying your speed isn't advised in traffic. Even if it doesn't bother you, it annoys other drivers and leads them to doing stupid things.
