I can't drive 55

A man who filmed the speedometer of his car while driving more than 140 miles per hour so he could post it on YouTube, ended up in jail on Saturday. Stanislav Vadimovich Bakanov was pulled over by police on Oregon Interstate 5 after he was clocked driving his black 2005 BMW at 118 mph. He filmed Sheriff's Deputy as he approached the car. When he asked why he was videotaping, Bakanov said he was filming his speedometer, and his arrest, to post on Youtube. (Now that's FUDJULATED) The video later revealed that Bakanov had attained speeds in excess of 140 mph. He was arrested and charged with reckless driving and speeding. It was his third speeding incident in the past year. The video was confiscated and will be used as evidence against him.

Honda & Acura Air Bag Recall

Honda Motor Co. plans to recall another 273,000 Honda and Acura vehicles because of an air bag problem that can kill drivers. It also will inspect an additional 603,000 vehicles to see whether the same defective parts were used in repairing autos that have been in accidents. Honda said it doesn't know how many of those vehicles might have been repaired with the defective parts. In the recalled vehicles, from the 2001 through 2003 model years, the driver's side air bag can deploy with too much force in an accident, causing a metal part that holds and channels explosive propellant to rupture that are causing the injuries. 18 injuries and two deaths have been caused by these faulty air bags. Honda has had four previous recalls over the same issue, and the latest recall raised the total to more than 2.5 million vehicles in the U.S. The latest recall now includes certain 2001 and 2002 Accord, 2001 through 2003 Civic, 2001 through 2003 Odyssey, 2002 and 2003 CR-V, 2003 Pilot, 2002 and 2003 Acura 3.2 TL and 2003 Acura 3.2 CL vehicles.

FIRE!

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a formal safety investigation into fire dangers of the Volt. This move came after the agency replicated an incident from last May in which a Volt battery caught fire three weeks after going through a safety crash test. In three tests last week, technicians damaged the Volt batteries in a similar way; one battery caught fire, and two showed signs of overheating. NHTSA said it had no reports of fires from real-world crashes. And the agency said in a statement: "NHTSA continues to believe that electric vehicles have incredible potential to save consumers money at the pump, help protect the environment, create jobs and strengthen national security by reducing our dependence on foreign oil." General Motors said in a statement it was working with NHTSA on additional testing and also was monitoring all the Volts on the road. With its OnStar emergency communications system, the company said it "knows in real time about any crash significant enough to potentially compromise battery integrity."
NHTSA offered some advice for current owners of electric cars involved in accidents. Exit the vehicle carefully if possible just as in a gasoline-powered car, which of course also poses fire danger in a crash. Emergency responders should take note if a vehicle is electric and disconnect the battery pack if possible. Tow-truck operators and salvage yards should store damaged electrics outside, not inside a closed building. All fires in the NHTSA tests ignited weeks after the initial damage.
