Butt-Kicking and Eco-Friendly? Even James Bond is Going Green.

If you aren’t one of the gazillions flocking to see the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace,
1) what’s wrong with you, and 2) here’s one reason to check it out: Bond goes environmentally friendly on us. In his latest flick, the haute hero briefly sports a hydrogen fuel cell Ford Edge and a curvaceous Ford Ka.

Thanksgiving Traffic

Combine the Thanksgiving holiday and the decrease in gas prices, and you can bet our roads will be packed with more travelers than usual. That could also mean more law enforcement officers patrolling our roadways to make sure they stay as safe as possible.

Remember to buckle in yourself and your children, drive defensively and within the speed limits to prevent getting ticketed or in an accident, and be respectful of the other drivers you share the road with. If you plan to drink, avoid getting a DUI. Instead, plan ahead of time to appoint a designated driver.

Take Even More Practice Tests Than Before

You asked and we delivered. Now you can access hundreds of questions that will help prepare you for the actual DMV written exam. Looking for free practice test questions? Find these and more on our section dedicated to making you a safer driver.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta Named Green Car of the Year

During this year’s L.A. Auto Show, the 2009 VW Jetta TDI took home the gold in the green category. It’s the first diesel to win the title Green Car of the Year.

The cool thing about this 41-mpg diesel is that it’s part of a new era of “clean diesels” that started coming out in August. Since then, VW has sold more than 8,000 of these Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Jettas. Nearly two years ago the EPA required the introduction of ULSDs in an attempt to remove a component of diesel fuel that causes major pollution. And with this win, we are one gargantuan step closer to green driving.

GM Recalls Nearly 300,000 Chevrolet HHR Vehicles

Beginning in November, GM is recalling 296,422 MY 2006-2008 Chevrolet HHR vehicles due to failed compliance with head-impact protection requirements set by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201. Apparently the door on one of the vehicle's storage bins fails to remain closed which could lead to injury. Therefore, the carmaker is making available a redesigned latch. If you own one of these vehicles, please call Chevrolet at (800) 630-2438 or visit MyGMLink online.
