Being caught in traffic behind a vehicle that is belching clouds of foul smelling smoke from the exhaust is not a pleasant experience. Clean air should be everyone's worry, will your vehicle make the grade?

Question: I'm in the process of buying a suspension lift for my vehicle and was curious about bumper headlight heights so I can remain legal. I have done some of my own research but all the info I've found is from years ago, and I'm curious if laws have changed.

We have been getting some emails about thieves writing down the serial number from the car, then going to the garage, with a story of course, and getting a key made for your car. Could you write something on this and verify this statement is true. What can we do to stop this?

Question: I am a female and today when I was driving home alone I felt very threatened by another driver. He cut me off - I let it go. He drove 30 mph - I drifted back and gave him space. Then when it came time for me to turn off the road - he stopped (I was behind him turning) and followed me.

Most of us drive vehicles that use gasoline for fuel. If you are like me, we probably notice the signs at the pump island that tell us to stop our engines before refueling but don't give it much more thought than that. Perhaps the reader that suggested this topic is doing us all a favour.

If you are like me, the worst time to be driving is at night in the pouring rain. It's like driving into a wet sack of coal! When another vehicle approaches, the glare of their headlights can be blinding. When driving is a necessity rather than a choice, what's a driver to do?

We had our Strata AGM last night and it was brought to our attention that there is an uninsured car parked in our underground parking. Could you please let me know the laws around this?

Data privacy is something that we all need to be concerned about today. Did you ever think about what might be contained in that magnetic stripe on the back of your driver's licence? There might be more there than you think.
