I've noticed in the last five years or so a marked increase in drivers running red lights in my town (Swarthmore, Pennsylvania) and that many of the vehicles have illegal levels of window tinting.

And then there's the boring explanation, that people simply can't see the lights through the tinting. #cars #driving #tint #tinting #windows #safety #traffic #pennsylvania #vehicles #trucks #psychology

Shredded car plastics could reenter new vehicles, cutting emissions by up to 29%

Researchers at the TUM have now analyzed a process developed within the Car2Car research project that enables plastics to remain within the recycling loop. The study, published in Waste Management, shows potential climate benefits as well as the possibility of meeting …
