(ambient +35C)It was connected to a battery which is then connected to an 80w solar panel. On checking the solar amps out of the regulator I noticed I had zero despite the sun shin...

The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing and stopped at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman behind him was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed h...
