...government allows manufacturers to choose whether or not they equip their vehicles with EDRs. Instead, they ought to be required in every passenger car, pickup truck and SUV. Without fleet-wide penetration, there are gaping holes in the data that engineers need to improve safety, both for motor vehicles and highways. For instance, it's difficult to track a defect if only a fraction of vehicles with the defective part are equipped with EDRs. NHTSA should also require that all EDRs record the data identified in its "top ten" list of EDR data elements...
...apart from Canberra. But it has always attracted intrepid tourists, and, in recent years, its commercial traffic has been supplemented by the four-wheel-drives of "gray nomads." These older Australians, many of them retirees, are gaily squandering the children's inheritance to see the country, their caravans and motor homes tootling contentedly through the emptiness of desert and bush, turning off to see the sights, oblivious to the thunder of 53-m-long road trains...
...apart from Canberra. But it has always attracted intrepid tourists, and, in recent years, its commercial traffic has been supplemented by the four-wheel-drives of "gray nomads."

"We don't care what someone's riding," says Bramble, "whether it's a 250-cc or a motor scooter." Bramble happens to have a fine set of wheels-a Honda ST 1300-but there's not a trace of pride about him. He taught himself to ride when he was 13 and spent most of his 25 years in the police force on motorcycle patrol in Sydney and the Hunter Valley. Riding...
...Watching it all is owner Zig Osis, who with wife Jennifer sold up as Step 1 of a "two-step retirement plan." Empty nesters, they're downsizing to a smaller place in Millicent, with a plan to sell that, too, in about seven years, buy a motor home and travel the country. As surprised as anyone that people would part with money for a lot of this stuff, Osis reckons he and Jennifer might clear a bit over $5,000 from the sale...
