Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

28-Cars-Later "We noticed that the current regulations in the United States are lacking." .I say this as someone whose life was saved by a seat belt 25 years ago... between passive safety such as six plus airbags in every newish car and the fact every person now driving knows about seat belts and has used them, at some point you have to let Darwin operate. IIHS is looking for something to justify itself in an age when at the very least it should be shrinking in size.
Tassos I have not seen any serious road rage incidents in MI, but I saw some in other states. I remember driving in Boston again, decades ago, and saw a Corvette driver mad at the taxi in front of him get out of his car and kick the driver's door of the taxi with his foot.
Carson D I haven't experienced any road rage incidents at all ever since I learned how to apply a PIT maneuver.
Lou_BC I was on a 4 lane highway this summer. Speed limit 100 kph. I was going 110 kph passing a small SUV. I look in my mirror and a F150 is so close on me I can't see his grill. I keep at the speed I'm going. I pass the small SUV. I was going to move over to let him by but the moment there was space he swerved into that lane. He pulled up beside me and started moving over. I kept the same speed. I did not budge. He then floors it and tries to cut me off. ....... ......... ......... What was odd about this was the year before in the same place, a fellow in a Chevy pulling a side by side on a trailer did slmost the same thing. He swerved to pass but almost lost control because his trailer started to wobble.
ToolGuy The drivers I encounter in my travels are all highly skilled, courteous and thoughtful.
