message: There are not many sites devoted entirely to driving. Most sites one the net talk about cars or represent driving schools, having some driving information as a related by-product. I would like to suggest for inclusion the external link to the site which is all about driving. The site's idea is to promote responsible driving. Yes, it is my site of course. The link is:
http://www.funandsafedriving.com
Thank you for your consideration,

replies: text: Not spamming the article is definitely appreciated, but the site at the end of this link is plastered in Google  and AdBrite ads, and has a forum with a grand total of 397 forum posts, most of which are made by a single anonymous person. The encyclopaedia section contains even more ads than content - a total of less than 17 dictionary definitions. This site is not comprehensive and fails to meet the expectations of the external link guidelines. -- zzuuzz(talk) 12:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Frankly none of the links on this page meets those expectations entirely, but thanks for answering anyway 192.86.106.60 13:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: *User:Asjoseph added a lot of original research to this.  I will remove it sometime this week if there are no protests.  It cites sources, however, these sources create an original synthesis of ideas.  Wickethewok 17:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with your proposed removal.  Too many of the assertions are not cited and reek of original research.  Plus the quality of Asjoseph's writing is poor.  --Coolcaesar 18:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

text: *Actually its not quite original research, as most of the things this said come from http://www.mulhollandraceway.org/.  That said, this source doesn't seem to be authoritative and much of their information (ex: skill level classifications), is just stuff they made up and doesn't seem to be a standard thing.  Note that the sections are still essays and should be removed.  Wickethewok 22:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Ohiodriversmanual.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Why has somebody put 'Global Warming' and 'Greenhouse Gasses' in the 'See also'. These are quite irrelevant. Is some green minded person going around adding these to any article vaguely related to polution?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.144.251.120 (talk) 23:25, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Irrelevant 'See also' 

message: i would like to suggest some user to setup a list of driving maneuvers that a driver should take in case of a emergency, like avoiding a pedestrian who suddenly comes running in front of the vehicle or in case a vehicle right in front suddenly breaks down or backs up...life threatening stuff like that. I dont think there is any article on the web, written how to overcome these accident prone situations, but if someone can dig up such a article then please post it on a driving related page since it would be very helpful for would-be drivers and it might take the role of a 'helmet' while driving a car.

thread_title:  tips and safety maneuvers 

message: Should more be included here about Driving (Racing Driving) as a sport?  I have been sandboxing extensive changes to Racing_line, and have almost convinced myself it (racing line) is not really an encyclopedic topic.  It might be better as a subsection of an article on Racing Driving, but if there is such a general article, it doesn't seem to be linked in from here.  (There must be numerous articles related to Motor Sport(s), but I will need to review whether and how they touch on racing driving as a conceptual skill).--SportWagon (talk) 14:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Auto racing seems to be the main starting point for motor sports.  I see no obvious references there to discussion of driving as a skill.--SportWagon (talk) 14:51, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Driver%27s_Education#On_Track mentions performance driving schools, but doesn't really discuss performance driving as a concept.--SportWagon (talk) 15:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Driving (usually Racing) as a Sport? 

message: This article seems like a good outline of some of what it could be, but there is not much substance.  The list of driving skills looks like a fairly good list of headings, or even of material for unique articles, but it lacks explanation of human variables involved in the processes.  There is plenty of anthropological, psychological, and mechanical literature on a driver's interaction with a vehicle to elaborate.  
Possible anthropological analysis of driving seems missing from Wikipedia.  Driving statistics from various nations and income levels, and the relationship between driving and performance on assessments of cognitive capacity (although I imagine academia avoids that one) are some very interesting topics that may be addressed.  
Things like driving in the media, driving aesthetics, and change in cultural attitudes toward driving could fit in this article.  Some of this material is already present in small articles that would probably be more convenient merged with this one.  Why should this article remain small rather than absorbing things like Driving pleasure?  Driving is what most people will think to look for after all.
The "Driving laws" section could use expansion but it might be best for it to have a separate article to deal with the history and development of the laws.  Many specific driving laws are described in their own articles. DearthOfMateriel 02:00, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  General Thoroughness 

message: Does anyone think there should be a section on driving stereotypes?  For example, the belief that females and Asians are bad drivers?  I'm not saying I agree with the stereotypes (don't shoot me!); I'm just saying that it's a notable part of our (American--not sure if it's a global thing) culture, and somewhat of a driving meme.  I think that a NPOV mention of it would be a reasonable addition to the article.  Just a thought...  98.89.40.195 (talk) 03:59, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Driving Stereotypes 

message: I came to this article hoping to find a list of
countries that drive on the right/left. but found no mention of it.
So far I have not found another article that about it either.
If one exists there should be a link to it here.
(I came here after noticing a line for "drive on"
on country pages.)

thread_title:  Drive on the right/left ? 

message: This part of the article does not make any sense. How is hand placement a mental skill and not a physical one? Just like steering/braking techniques in general. Whereas for instance observing the environment would fit better in the mental skills.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.157.254.25 (talk) 08:48, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mental/physical skill 

message: Please review Wikipedia:Article titles. What do the vast majority of English speakers think of when someone says to them, "I'm going to go driving around today?" They think the speaker is going to be driving a vehicle. They do not think the speaker is going to be driving a horse or driving a herd ahead of them.  Hence, there is no need at all to qualify the article title. 
The other issue is that Wikipedia does not capitalize titles unless they are official names. In this case, the article title should be Automobile driving because it is not about a magazine or publication with that official title. --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:40, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
