Chicago's ban on cellphone usage in cars is under attack from a grubby lawyer, and surprisingly, the grubby lawyer has a bit of a point. A 2005 city ordinance banned the use of cellphones while driving. Since then, police have been illegally ticketing drivers talking on cellphones, or so says Blake Horwitz, the attorney who has sued the city of Chicago more than 100 times.
Part or the original ordinance required the city to place visible signs stating that talking on the phone while driving is illegal and the city has yet to do so, but has continued to ticket people, including Chris Yarusso, Horwitz's client.
Apparently, everything traffic-wise must be legal in Illinois, unless a sign says otherwise. So, go nuts! [
It seems as though no one in Australia has a lock on their garage, as yet another rare Falcon has been stolen in the land down under. This time it was a 1970 Ford XY Falcon GT Sedan with special Bathurst Gold Mag Wheels valued at $250,000. This is following the

With the exception of New Hampshire, whose state motto is Live Free or Die, all states have some sort of mandatory safety belt law. In some circumstances, the amount of damages one can collect in a claim can be reduced if the injuries could have been prevented by wearing a belt.
There are currently 26 states plus the District of Columbia that have primary seat belt laws, meaning you can get popped merely for not having a seat belt on, despite committing no other infraction. Within these states there are three major varieties.
The most stringent laws are those requiring all passengers of a certain age to wear a seat belt in all seats within the vehicle. These are: Alaska, California, DC, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, New Mexico, North Carolina (secondary for rear seat occupants), Oregon, South Carolina and Washington State.
There are ten states that have primary laws for front seat passengers/driver, with rear seat offenses for passengers of a certain age: Georgia, Hawaii, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Illinois (where it also depends on the age of the driver).
Your rear seat passengers can feel free to legally take a nap or chillax in the back seat with no kind of seat belt in Alabama, Connecticut, Maryland, Iowa and Louisiana. It's a primary offense in Kansas, Missouri, Rhode Island and Utah if your unbelted passengers are under a certain age, but a secondary offense otherwise.
You'll have to commit some other traffic infraction to get ticketed for not having a seat belt in the following 19 states: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Florida, Nebraska, Idaho, North Dakota, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming and Wisconsin. (So make sure all your taillights work.) As a passenger in Ohio or Wyoming, both the driver and passenger can be ticketed if someone isn't wearing a seat belt.
The age and seating requirements for a law, as well as amount of the fine vary by state, so check out 
A rare red 1971 Phase III GT HO Ford Falcon Sedan registration number 71 HO valued at over $600,000 was stolen out of the J & M Caporale Auto Body Repairs shop in Osborne Park, Australia. But since the Falcon was in the back of the store, they had to move a couple of cars to get there. Here's what the report in the Perth Times had to say about how the caper was accomplished: "Once inside, the offenders moved a number of vehicles in order to gain access to the car. These vehicles were driven out through the front roller doors which face onto Collingwood Street, and parked down the side of the premises.
