    G.M. had provided information about braking, acceleration and speed to LexisNexis Risk Solution and Verisk, firms that generated driver risk profiles for insurers... General Motors said Friday that it had stopped sharing details about how people drove its cars with two data brokers that created risk profiles for the insurance industry. The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars...

    As we all have seen, corporate America has become militantly pro-LGBT and anti-Christian over the past few decades.... James Earls has worked at UPS for 35 years and is a devout Christian.

    There’s snow reason to speed during winter storms. Chilling dashcam footage captured the moment a driver in upstate New York crashed nearly head-on into a snowplow after trying to pass another truck. The plow was driving along a two-lane road in the North Country region when the semi-truck’s headlights appeared ahead with a black sedan riding alongside it. The passenger car — squarely in the plow’s path — desperately tried to speed up and overtake the semi-truck, but couldn’t gain enough space in the slush and snow on the narrow roadway.
  • A white man pointed a gun at an innocent, law abiding, black female amazon driver, threatened to shoot her, and used racial slurs.

    A white man pointed a gun at an innocent, law abiding, black female amazon driver, threatened to shoot her, and used racial slurs. Since the video proves that a criminal pointed a gun at an innocent person, I support executing him. And the execution should take place within 24 hours of sentencing. It should not take 20 or 30 years to execute someone when there is video proof. This kind of behavior should not be tolerated. What the legal system does or does not do to this criminal will send a message to everyone else about whether or not this...

    Gas prices in California have had a history of being higher than in many other areas of the US, but recently they have risen to well over $6 and even $7 a gallon in some parts. This far exceeds the current national average of $3.96, per Y-Charts. The gas price hike has caused many California residents to make hard choices, sometimes having to choose between filling up their tank or buying lunch. San Diego residents at a local 7-Eleven spoke to FOX News Digital about how rising gas prices, have been affecting their lives. “Filling this thing up, [it’s] like...

    Yeah, he’s talkin’ to you. Robert De Niro will reportedly reprise his iconic “Taxi Driver” role as Travis Bickle in an upcoming Uber ad campaign. The 80-year-old actor will apparently replicate Bickle’s unforgettable line: “You talkin’ to me,” in the series of ads being filmed in London this week, The Sun reported. “He’s going to be Travis Bickle, saying some phrases and playing up to it,” an unnamed source told the outlet. “His previous adverts have shown he has no problem poking fun at himself.” The Oscar-winner has recently taken on several other ad campaigns — a possible consequence of...

    A 20-year-old man was hit with a slew of charges Wednesday after crashing a stolen car into multiple vehicles and injuring 10 pedestrians during a chaotic police chase in Midtown Manhattan. Kyle Fernandez is facing charges including reckless endangerment, possession of stolen property, operating a motor vehicle while on drugs, resisting arrest, and others in connection to Tuesday’s mayhem — which ended when good Samaritans tackled the fleeing driver to the ground and held him down until cops arrived. The madness unfolded during the evening rush hour near the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 42nd Street, just steps away...

    An enraged motorist has been filmed assaulting a Just Stop Oil protester in London, after a “slow walk” protest blocking traffic reportedly caused a pregnant woman to crash her car. Video of the incident posted online by the controversial group showed a man in a red hat punching a protester and knocking him to the ground before kicking him in the head. The man is seen furiously arguing with another person who steps in to intervene, before returning to a damaged silver Mercedes with his distressed female companion. The car appears to have been struck on the rear driver’s side...

Lacey Purcival posted the video on TikTok, showing a DoorDash driver she identified as Corey delivering dinner to her home. The deliveryman can be seen ringing the doorbell, and Purcival opening the door and greeting him. After nearly dropping the pizza as he pulled it out of its sleeve, Corey handed over the pie as Purcival thanked him enthusiastically.

    WASHINGTON — The man accused of ramming a U-Haul truck into barriers near the White House earlier this week isn't a U.S. citizen, authorities said Wednesday. Sai Varshith Kandula, a 19-year-old from suburban St. Louis, wore an orange jail-issued jumpsuit in his brief courtroom appearance — his first since the Monday incident — when prosecutors requested pre-trial detention. A government prosecutor told the court that Kandula is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident. But later on Wednesday, a Department of Justice official clarified the open-court remarks and said Kandula does hold a green card for lawful, permanent U.S. residency....

    A Connecticut state representative and a wrong-way driver were both drunk behind the wheel when they were killed in a fiery crash just hours after the politician’s swearing-in ceremony in January, according to officials and state police. State Rep. Quentin Williams, 39, a Democrat from Middleton who had just been sworn into a third term, died on the morning of Jan. 5 as he was heading home from Gov. Ned Lamont’s inaugural ball in Hartford. Williams’ Infiniti Q60 burst into flames after it was struck head-on by 27-year-old Kimede Mutafaj driving her Toyota Corolla the wrong way on Route 9...

    Attorneys representing the accused drunk driver who struck and killed newlywed bride Samantha Hutchinson on the day of her South Carolina nuptials are asking the public “not to rush to judgment.” Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, last week retained two high-powered attorneys, Nathan S. Williams and Christopher S. Gramiccioni, to defend her in her criminal case. Williams is a former federal prosecutor best known for trying mass shooter Dylann Roof and convincing a jury to give him the death penalty. Gramiccioni spent nearly a decade serving as a prosecutor in Monmouth County, New Jersey, before entering private practice in 2021.

    Dashcam video captured the terrifying moment an out-of-control BMW careened across four lanes of traffic and a highway median in Virginia at more than 120 miles per hour, nearly hitting a cop. The heart-stopping incident happened late Monday morning in suburban Fairfax County as an officer was making a routine traffic stop on the southbound Fairfax County Parkway, about 20 miles away from Capitol Hill, officials said. All of a sudden, a black 2018 BMW M3 driven by a 17-year-old and headed northbound on the parkway, lost control, spun around and dashed across traffic, slamming into both the car that...

    A motorist accused of mowing down a young woman has told a jury he had drunk 10 double shots of spirits and taken numerous lines of cocaine before “a moment of stupidity” when he drove over the victim. Stephen McHugh told Stafford Crown Court he was trying to frighten a group of people when he mounted a footpath outside a takeaway and killed 22-year-old pedestrian Rebecca Steer. A trial has been told McHugh denies murder but admits the manslaughter of Ms Steer, an innocent bystander who was dragged under his car in the centre of Oswestry, Shropshire. McHugh has admitted...

    Greek authorities released a new recording on Thursday that shed light on what may have caused one of the country's worst railway wrecks in history. In the audio, a station manager appears to instruct a driver to "pass the red signal" before that train collided head-on with another on Tuesday night local time, near the city of Larissa in northern Greece, according to Greek news media. At least 57 people have died as a result of the crash and 48 remain in the hospital — including seven who are being treated in intensive care units as of Friday morning. The...

    The Secret Service driver who was behind the wheel of President Donald Trump’s SUV on Jan. 6, 2021 has reportedly been interviewed by the House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot. The panel interviewed the driver, whose name hasn’t been disclosed publicly, on Monday as their months-long investigation nears a conclusion, multiple sources told CNN. Trump’s driver, who was a key witness to the 45th president’s behavior that day, has not previously spoken to the panel, the sources added. Former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson had testified to the panel in June that an irate Trump had tried to...
