Title: Appropriate forums

What would be the appropriate forums for discussing:As far as I can determine, that's Off-Topic which I find strange for a Roads forum.

"New driving laws" probably goes in Traffic Control.

If it's borderline, it probably won't be moved.

  • Driving-related issues NOT related to roads
I'd be interested to hear the story relating to that one!

If I started the threads, I'd probably put them in the appropriate state category.

This is a roads forum, not a driving forum. Part of the distinction dates back to Usenet, where MTR tried to stay far away from the crazies at RAD (rec.autos.driving). Driving topics just invite all sorts of craziness. There is a very small but nonzero crossover in our community and RAD, always has been. If it's not related to the roads themselves, it does in fact go in OT. If we have enough driving topics, we could consider a sub-board to OT, but I don't think we have that many, nor do we want/need that many.
