Word on the street, is that Google Maps Street View Team is pumpin their tires and fillin up gas tanks to finally roll out to the roads of Riga and the rest of Latvia. Now it’s been some time (like a year or two?), since Google applied for the possibility to scan the city. After [...]

The forecasters predicted this to be happening around last night. Major storm is gonna hit Riga, bla bla bla.. It was calm and not even windy at all yesterday. They just got the timing wrong. Well, with a lil bit of delay, a snowstorm is taking over the area throughout Sunday. I just came over [...]

There are lots of us who drive to Pardaugava from downtown Riga and back to the downtown over Daugava river every day. Some are sitting through traffic jams during the morning and evening rush hours, others – manage to get over in more free from traffic time. A common issue for all car drivers, as [...]

Ja tev nav gadījies pārsniegt atļauto ātrumu, tad droši vien tu esi braucis kaut kur Nepālā, kur ātruma ierobežojumi vienkārši NAV =) Gadās jau visādi šoferi – ir tādi, kas steidzas un ātrumu pārkāpj tīšām, agresīvi apdzenot, parkārtojoties no joslas uz joslu. Bet ir tādi, kas vienkārši aizdomājušies, nedaudz pielikuši pedāli grīdā iekš dzīvojamās zonas, [...]

Pēdējā laikā TV*Netā tiek publicētas agresīvo autovadītāju bildes, kuras paši lasītāji arī iesūta – tādā veidā pazemojot tos, kas, steidzoties, pārkāpj noteikumus. Stučīšana jau tā īsti nav – jo pēc LR likumdošanas tāpat nevar sodīt uz foto vai video pamata. Tā ir vienkārši tavu slikto darbu publiskošana, tāpēc arī minēju vārdu “pazemot”. Iedomājies, ka tu [...]
