WORK ZONE SAFETY: A KNOCKING CONCERN FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD In a recent survey conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and Heavy Construction Systems Specialists (HCSS), alarming statistics have emerged about the safety of highway work zones. Many contractors, about 60%, said they experienced at least one crash involving a moving vehicle in a work zone over the past year. What’s more shocking is that around one-third of those reported five or more crashes. As summer approaches, which is a busy time for construction projects, the risks are becoming a pressing concern. A significant portion, over 90%, of contractors pointed to distracted driving as a primary cause of these crashes. This includes not just texting or on-the-phone distractions but also behaviors like speeding and impaired driving. These reckless actions not only delay important construction projects but also put workers and other drivers at serious risk. HIDDEN HAZARDS AND RISKY ROAD BEHAVIOR ...

In April 2026, a significant event unfolded in Ukraine’s car market. Nearly 3,900 used passenger cars were imported from the United States, marking a slight increase of 0.3% compared to the same month last year. The data comes from Ukravtoprom, revealing not just numbers but trends among Ukrainian car buyers. ONE CAR STANDS OUT Leading the charge in popularity was the Ford Escape, with 423 units sold in April alone. This compact SUV appeals to many for its practicality and affordable price in the used car market.

The Nissan Rogue and BMW X5 rounded out the top five, selling 257 and 256 units each. It’s clear that electric ...

FLORIDA FACES HIGHER GAS PRICES AS SUMMER TRAVEL SEASON BEGINS Florida’s drivers are gearing up for summer road trips, but they face a major hurdle—gas prices are significantly higher than they were last year. As of May 26, the average cost of a gallon of regular gas in Florida reached $4.318. This is slightly below the national average of $4.491. To put it into perspective, just one year ago, Floridians were paying an average of $3.057 per gallon. That’s a jump of about $1.26 per gallon, translating to an additional nearly $19 at the pump for those filling a 15-gallon tank. For families planning long summer trips, this increase is weighing heavily on budgets. Experts from AAA noted that gas prices surged over the Memorial Day weekend to their highest levels in four years, just as people began to hit the roads in large numbers. On May 21, the nationwide average for regular gas rose to $4.56, up $1.38 compared to last year. These elevated prices are expected to persist as the summer ...

Nissan’s iconic R35 GT-R has been a beloved sports car for nearly 18 years, but the order books for it have officially closed for over a year now. Production of the North American model is set to end in October 2024, but there’s exciting news on the horizon: the R36 GT-R is currently in development. Although it might take several years before we see the new model on the road, Nissan can’t keep quiet about its plans.

This shift reflects the ongoing changes in the supercar world, where brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini are also adapting. It remains to be seen how the R36 will impact this competitive landscape once it’s finally revealed, possibly before the end of this decade. ### What’s in a Name?
