BMW has that option: it flashes a dash light visible only to the driver—and vibrates the steering wheel.

We seldom see terms such as the prosecution's theories of the case, nor The Citizen's use of the terms "alleged driver" and "alleged homicide".

In reading the media's tea-leaves, this may prove to be a difficult trial. I'm seeing the machinations of the defense already in this case: some might call it suborning of a witness.

Bad news for politicians are released on Fridays before a weekend: really bad news is released on a Friday before a holiday weekend.

What incentive would there be to delay this release until the week before the Christmas holiday? Would it be to minimize open discussions?

After appeals, "determining ultimate responsibility" shouldn't take long. As we have seen, jail time (if even warranted in this case) could be as long as four years away—right?

In fog, a New Hampshire aircraft pilot has a good chance of flying into "Cumulo-granitus".

Among boating terms, I prefer the terms piloting or navigating to "driving": "Driving" suggests casual travel. As we have seen time and again, boating—like flying—is serious business.
