Drivers Quotations | Page 2

New drivers need to have their full attention on the road and this is one major distraction that we in the Legislature can limit,

Right now it's the mini-Cup Series. When you start getting half the field as Cup drivers in every race, I don't think it's healthy.

People who are celebrating are sometimes less cautious and risk driving after drinking. We want to remind motorists that just because it's a holiday or special occasion, it doesn't mean drinking and driving is OK. In fact, drivers need to realize that many holidays and special occasions are more dangerous for motorists than other days.

Police in Washington D.C. are now using cameras to catch drivers who go through red lights. Many congressmen this week opposed the use of the red light cameras incorrectly assuming they were being used for surveillance at local brothels.

Ninety five percent of everybody who came through here today had their drivers license, their insurance and they were buckled up. They're getting the message. Awareness is up. We're announcing it in school. They knew we were going to be out here today. We didn't try to trick anybody. We just told them we were going to do it,

New Year's Eve was one of the busiest ever. Christmas week was one of the busiest we've seen around here. And some of the drivers have been here for 20 years, so when we say that, we really mean it.

New Year's Eve is notorious for lots of people going out and having a good time and having a few drinks. So, there's a likelihood of more drunken drivers being on the road. (All officers) are going to have their eyes peeled even more.

One of the big things I believe about why the sport is so (big) is how accessible the drivers are. Right up until the race, they're signing autographs. You would never get that close to an athlete in any other sport.

One of the biggest drivers in the male marketplace now in cosmetic surgery is men who are 40-plus who use this as a tool to look healthy, to look young, to look vibrant.

One of the main drivers right now for the market is this worry about interest rates.

One of the main drivers for the Dow and S&P has been the price of oil; that's been dragging on the companies that are especially dependent on lower oil prices,

One of the key drivers that has helped McAfee transform into a leading global security provider and achieve best in class profitability since 2002 is our research and development centre in India.

One of the drivers told me about his situation. He stopped the bus with some difficulty and then it slid sideways, kitty-corner across the intersection, and had to be towed away from the curb.

I would probably suggest to drivers if you're heading north to take the (U.S.) 60 to I-10 to the (Arizona) 51 if they want to stay on the larger freeways.

I would argue that using our software, all things being equal like in NASCAR, our software would give you an edge that could be 10 to 20 percent advantage over the other drivers either in fuel efficiency or in top speed.

If these devices help keep drivers alert, they're welcome. But if they're mandatory, that's another question.

I got in the right place at the right time and had success. It gives all the drivers at all the race tracks something to shoot for. It wasn't that long ago that I was running there.

If we can have a repeat of last year's race where we had all those famous, name-brand drivers from other series get their butts handed to them by one of our road-racing teams, that's a good start.

If this proposal is approved in Minnesota, it will have a disastrous effect on consumers. It will force good drivers and responsible homeowners to subsidize those with poor loss histories by hundreds of millions of dollars each year.

If we cannot have more than our share of broken parts, and wrecks that we can avoid, I think my drivers and the venues that we've got in front of us will be very good for us, and we stand a very good chance,

I am delighted to have signed two drivers with such great experience.

I am grateful that these highly experienced drivers are joining my team.

I am hopeful it will be a normal working day. Our tanker drivers will be operating as normal.

I am going to be running with the teachers and the farmers and the bus drivers and the hard working men and women of this country. I'm going to be running with the people, not the privileged.

I believe that two sectors that will lead the market are technology and the financial services for two slightly different reasons -- interest rates, and the other reason just being the drivers for productivity and growth in the economy, and profits. And I don't think that that has changed. I think it's one of the things that is really important about technology. Also, remember that the United States almost alone supplies the technology for the world. We produce just about all the new technology. Do we manufacture all of it right here? No. But we are the driver and the rest of the world needs our technology.

Business managers and drivers alike will appreciate the easy entry and egress and roomy cab of the Sterling 360. While the drivers will benefit from a more comfortable and convenient work environment, managers will value the increased productivity and retention from reduced driver fatigue.

Business investment is going to be one of the principal drivers of growth in 2006. The consumer will still be there ... (but) certainly won't be as ebullient as the last four years.

Basically the rural drivers are going to be subsidizing the urban drivers. (Insurance companies) need to get enough money to cover all their risks. To make money, they've got to get that money somewhere else. They are forced to charge less to the urban area. I don't know how they can avoid (charging more to rural motorists).

Basically, the food stamp caseload has gone up a lot. The biggest increase is in people who are not getting any kind of cash assistance but they need help with food. It's bus drivers and every once in a while someone from the military and people who have 10-month contracts with the schools and they are out of work two months in the summer.

Because of the inversion, the heat races will be extremely intense with the fastest drivers in time trials trying to make it to the front to qualify for the night's dash and Saturday's $50,000 to win feature. They'll be like mini feature events.

I have always enjoyed racing at Chicagoland, ... Yes, it is a basic 1.5-mile oval, but it seems to have a different personality. It is wider than most of the other tracks and the grip level is good everywhere. So you see a lot more drivers using the high groove. I think that is why there have been so many close finishes there. I think there will be another close one this year. I just want to have the front of my car cross the line first this time.

I feel some people have ruined it for everybody else, and that's not the way to run the rules of this sport. It's not 20 percent of the drivers. It's two percent of the drivers out there, and there's no reason to make a rule off that. Those drivers should be quarantined.

I can't get drivers to pick people up.

I can't remember when we've had a sweep like this before. This is really a great weekend to be able to have three of our different drivers win all three races.

Growth drivers are perceptibly decelerating and offer minimal forward visibility as communications end-markets join previously stalled cell phones and PCs in blunting the continued rapid demand growth.

Getting the most out of their people is on the mind of every business leader I speak with. (We) are passionate about the idea that the right software can provide the tools to empower workers to become the drivers of business success.

I don't think anyone has replaced him. His impact in the sport behind the scenes is well-known by car owners and drivers that were around in that time.

If a driver has left and a customer calls, they can trickle the request to a cellular network over the device. Instead of warehouse workers pulling inventory from the warehouse for delivery using one device and drivers out of range using a cellular phone, each could use the integrated device, and the enterprise would only have to maintain a single infrastructure to support that.

I expect growth to be around 7.7 percent in 2005/06. The main drivers will be services and manufacturing.

I expect growth to be around 7.7 per cent in 2005/06. The main drivers will be services and manufacturing.

For very little extra cost, our drivers can compete on a higher level and receive more for their efforts at our speedway.

For me to be the first guy, considering all the other drivers who have tried to do it, is pretty unreal.

If those drivers were just with Busch teams, I think everything would be fine. It's their research and development, their constant testing and wind tunnel time; it's hard to compete with those types of teams.

He was at Richmond from the time I was a little boy. He was one of the originals in PR, in working with the drivers and the newspapers. He was one of the first to realize you don't just stick up a sign and say we're going to have a race Sunday. He went out, dug up PR and really got the job done. Any time we ran at Richmond, the place was always full.

He went out of his way I think to reassure us that he wasn't in danger and that he was in the hotel a lot. And then he had two drivers and he had two interpreters, so he himself used to play it down,

He did a great job in testing for us and we never looked back. He's done a great job ever since we hired him. All of our drivers don't need me to tell them how to drive a race car. They're professionals -- that's why we hired them.

Greyhound has a terrific safety record. The union insists that drivers who are fatigued have a right to book off. And the company has a policy: If a driver says he or she is fatigued, then Greyhound doesn't use them.

Helping these aspiring, talented USAC Ford Focus Midget drivers realize their dream is what this national championship is all about. This event will bring the best-of-the-best together for two days of very competitive, hard fought competition with one driver coming out on top.

Today, Mark and Nico were both on duty in Barcelona. Both drivers concentrated on long runs, working on set-up, brake and tyre development. Nico will be joined by Alex for tomorrow's final day of the four day test.

There is a great opportunity for some of the fans to meet these drivers before the race. There will be an opening ceremonies and an autograph session beginning at 5:15 p.m., after that the races start at 6 p.m. If fans get there late, they will miss half of the races.

The people who are going to pay more are the bad drivers who've been subsidized all these years by good drivers all throughout California.

We took ownership responsibility for making drivers aware of unsafe behavior. We now expect bad behavior rolling through stop signs, following vehicles too closely, exceeding speed limits to be stopped in its tracks.

With more than 75 cars in two classes on the track for this Saturday's race, our drivers have to be selective about where they make their moves or risk giving up the leads we've built so far this season.

We think American drivers should brace themselves for a fairly large increase, as soon as this weekend. It could be an increase of around five cents a gallon nationwide.

What we have been seeing is a change in the composition of growth, with businesses rather than households now the main drivers of growth in domestic spending.

has worked to relieve traffic congestion, reduce the impact of development on city streets and ensure the safety of the millions of drivers who commute on Los Angeles streets.

Having Tony's support has been huge for Victory Junction. He was one of the first drivers to get on board with us, and beyond the money he and his foundation have donated to the camp, he's brought notoriety, which has helped fuel interest in the camp. It's just one more example of how when we're on the track we're fierce competitors, but off the track we're all united in trying to improve the lives of others, especially children. I've always admired his charitable work and it's an honor to have him as a part of the Victory Junction family.

Gold is really looking good now and seems to have a clear upside objective. You've got three of the strongest fundamental drivers of gold that are currently converging so it is very difficult to make a bearish case for it at the moment.

There is a misconception that older drivers are somehow a menace out on the road, and that really is not borne out by the facts. Thirty-year-olds kill far more people on the roads than 70-year-olds.

We may be put in a position to make a call that we really don't want to make. The drivers are in control. They've got pedals they can push and steering wheels they can turn. To leave it in our own hands, when we're not out there, they're going to get a call they didn't bargain for.

We have to be, and we will be, a performance-based series. You have to perform. You know what, the drivers ... don't want to limp in on a fan vote. They want to earn their way in or not earn their way in.

We made some real significant progress here today. The drivers and teams gave us some positive feedback on what they liked and what they didn't like and that's what this is about; to refine and improve what we have.

He was flashing his hazards for the oncoming traffic to give way for him until he had a head-on collision with a brand new Range Rover and died on the spot. We have good roads but the immature drivers translate that availability of good roads into flying on the roads.

He was in the drivers seat slumped over.

He just said it was part of tradition and something they've always done. I've talked to some of the drivers and I don't think anybody sees the need for it any more.

Hands-free phones aren't risk-free. The major distraction with mobile phones is the conversation and making and receiving phone calls, so drivers are similarly distracted whether they use a conventional cell phone or a hands-free device.

There are so many young unmarried and talented drivers in the garage area that march to the beat of a different drummer.

There are signs that the long-term drivers of prosperity are weakening. The loss of our competitive edge is a continuing corrosive process, which threatens our economic well-being in the long term.

Jack is known for deciding the time has come for a change. His general philosophy is, if we don't get a couple things better, we're going to have a couple drivers miss out on the Chase.

I would say some people change drivers one or two times a year.

Joe Ries has always said that no matter how great of a job we do in the classroom and in the car, we are still faced with the fact that young drivers make a lot of choices due to attitudes, and attitudes are formed from day one with their family. That's really where a lot of difficulties arise.

Judge O'Flaherty's rulings are putting drunk drivers back out on the street. It's a threat to public safety. It's offensive to law enforcement and prosecutors and it's offensive to the public.

I suspect it's going to be a fairly weaker open. Stocks are still looking for direction in Europe -- there are no big macro drivers today.

I think it definitely would be helpful. They're the two biggest stars in the sport. We'd love to see the most popular drivers be in the Chase, but you have to earn it. They would agree with that.

I think it's inexcusable we don't do a better job of training. The average turnover rate is something like 136 percent, so they actually lose more drivers than they're able to hire.

It could help the country, it could help the farmers, it could help the taxi drivers and so on. We have to do something. This is a crisis. It touches a lot of people, especially the forest people,

It impedes and impairs your ability as a driver, and we hold our bus drivers to a very high standard.

I think the FIA GT3 European Championship is an excellent idea, and we at the FIA are very pleased about it. It fills a gap in the market and it provides the possibility of very good and very entertaining racing for competitors and drivers who might otherwise be left out in the ever more professional top end of GT racing. So we are delighted.

I think the biggest thing is gaining the respect from all the guys who are already there. And the Cup cars are a lot different from what they've been driving. That's challenging. Longer races. When to race and not to race. All stuff you have to learn, and it takes a while to learn it. It worked out for us pretty well. A lot of the drivers can make that transition. But you just never know.

L.A. drivers are stupid. They are blind. Half of them don't pay attention, bro'. Half of them probably don't have a license.

I was disappointed that people who represent drunk drivers watered down a drunk-driving bill,

I was amazed with the quality of drivers in last year's field, and there are going to be even more this year. The list is very strong - a lot of drivers that are just the cream of the crop. I'm here to win. That's why I chose to run with these guys and with this team.

I think we feel very solid right now. We still have a long way to go. There are some great drivers and some great teams, so we need to keep our head down and stay focused and keep building things right.

I think Adam is a top driver who just needs to polish off a few little bits and pieces here and there. But he's a joy to work with, and he's just as quick as the best of them. In this category at the moment, you have to make sure that every little thing is alright on the night and I think, for the first season, he has done exceptionally well. Generally, his performances have been much stronger than drivers with a larger budget. Adam has got what it takes to be a Formula One driver.

It has always had a nice kind of grip, which makes it easier for rookie drivers to come in and get comfortable, but the setup is still hard to find. I think when you win somewhere you always carry that confidence into that track no matter what happens.

It has been a long time since Mexico City and we had a group of drivers together. We did a lot of work today and it was pretty exhausting but when you visit three cities in a day you have to know you're going to work hard.

I think today's drivers are hesitant to get into a rivalry because they could be the bad guy. Look at Jimmie Johnson. There was a period of time here this year he was booed everywhere he went. No one likes to be booed. I don't care who you are.

I think that we've managed to put together a competitive line up. Both cars have a realistic opportunity to challenge for the win. I'm excited to be working with drivers that have achieved so much in racing and it's nice to have worked with them all in some stage or another.

It is massively frustrating on a tight circuit, and it is massively frustrating when drivers are not observing blue flags.

It is a neat deal so people don't drive their car. We will have three drivers on New Year's Eve, and that'll be enough to handle it.

It is an ancient political vehicle, held together by soft soap and hunger and with front-seat drivers and back-seat drivers contradicting each other in a bedlam of voices, shouting ""go right"" and ""go left"" at the same time.

I think there will come a day when people will purchase drivers by ball performance and not the hype or numbers written on the club. Driver true-loft performance is a synergy of factors. Only the ball flight can tell you the true dynamic loft -- and that is a mixed function of measured loft, face angle, center of gravity, moment of inertia top to bottom and face roll.

I think there are some very good minority drivers out there, but are they ready to race in Cup? I don't think so, ... They can't just grab someone and throw them in a Cup car. This sport is a lot more difficult and complicated than that.

Jeff Gordon is one of the greatest drivers out there, and so is teammate Jimmie Johnson , ... It'll show in these final 10 races. I was struggling with a lot of decisions that were going on with me, and that wasn't fair to Hendrick Motorsports or the team.

I think fans of those drivers just have to accept the idea that their teams just haven't been very good, very consistent or very lucky this year. It can happen. With only 10 qualifiers, good teams are going to miss the Chase every year. NASCAR will survive.

I suppose I could admire all these slow Seattle drivers for their safety-mindedness, consideration for others, and peace of mind. Instead, I'm a fury of annoyance.

People are required to show a legal identity, their required to show a proof of age and citizenship, which may be shown through a variety of ways such as a voter registration card, or motor vehicle ID card rather than a drivers license if they do not have a drivers license.

Our hope is that drivers from across the country who are looking to make that step from weekly racing to the big time will come out and play in our playground.

Our preliminary research indicates that hybrid owners tend to fall into the preferred insured category, and at Travelers, lower risk drivers are rewarded with lower premiums. Additionally, hybrid vehicle sales have at least doubled every year since the first car was offered in the U.S. in 1999. This trend shows no signs of slowing, and Travelers intends to serve this growing market with innovative products to meet the changing needs of our customers.

Our three test drivers have all achieved considerable success in other formulae and we are confident they have the potential to develop into successful F1 drivers.
