I have just watched an interesting lecture by Steven Levitt about car safety for children in the 2-6 age range [1]. The evidence he presents shows that the benefits for children in that age range are at best insignificant and that in some corner cases (EG rear impacts) the child seat may give a worse result than an adult seat belt! He advocates a 5-point harness [2] for children in the 2-6 age range that is based on a standard adult seat and seems to be advocating a child “booster seat” integrSummertime Update: Car Wrecks, Gay Sex, and Nose Jobs [Gossip Girl]

I first heard of Hypermilling when I was writing a recent post - 75 Gas Saving Tips. It seems to be a trend among drivers that is increasing in popularity in reaction to the rising gas prices. What is hypermiling? According to Wikipedia Hypermiling is: “Fuel economy-maximizing behaviors (and) techniques that drivers can use to optimize their automobile fuel economy. The energy in fuel consumed in driving is lost in many ways, including engine inefficiency, aerodynamic drag, rolling frictionThe Importance of AirBags and Seat Belts
It has often been said that airbags save lives. Unfortunately, some people learn this lesson first hand. My brother was recently involved in an accident that almost cost him his life. The EMS told him that wearing his seat belt, and the airbag deploying, were the only two things that saved him. As you can see from the picture, the drivers front side of the car was totaled. They had to saw the door off, and even then it took a while to get him out. The airb...Meme on Thursday
