kids bicycle license plates image
Dan
I have to remove bolts from my car to get the license plate off, but they're really rusty. I'm really limited for tools too, all I've got is a couple of small screwdrivers and a hammer. My uncle's got a blowtorch, but I doubt he'll let me use it. I thought I could chisel away around the screw, and make it fit on the new car with a washer, but that might take too long. Also, a screwdriver won't lock into the groove, it's too rusted over. What do you think I should do?
Answer
WD-40
Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust
Preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was
Created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical
Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water
Displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth
Formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect
Their atlas
Missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is
Nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.

is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned
feeling away and heals with NO scarring.

Thinking of ways to deter vehicles from driving 2 inches from us at high rates of speed while we walk/run?
DKA
Thinking of ways to deter vehicles from driving 2 inches from us at high rates of speed while we walk/run around the lake even though we are all the way over on the correct side and including times we have kids with us. We have thought of sharpie markers, pepper spray (paint damage, maybe?). Any other ideas? Even if we got the license plate number do police have to have "proof" they put us in danger?
Answer
Make yourself highly visible. Wear reflective vests, flashing lights, even tie a helium balloon to your wrist or to the stroller. I got a pair of cheap flashing lights (originally for bicycles) which I tie to my ankles when I run at night. This helps tremendously when I try to cross the road; without it no one stops, not even at marked and well-lit crossings. It seems the periodic flash is enough to draw their attention from their cellphone or daydream or whatever else it is they're doing behind the wheel while going 50 in a residential area.
Don't try and get aggressive. You will always lose to a 2000-lb vehicle. And punishment by the police after the fact still puts you in danger. What you want to achieve is elimination of the hazard in the first place.
