Be sure to stay inside the lines, kiddies

There is a gentle curve in a road near me. Every single time I drive that stretch, one or more drivers cannot manage to stay between the lines. They probably coloured outside the lines as children.

Cannabis electric car to be made in Canada

An electric car made of hemp is being developed by a group of Canadian companies in collaboration with an Alberta Crown corporation.

The compact car, which will hold a driver and up to three passengers, will have a top speed of 90 kilometres per hour and a range of 40 to 160 kilometres before needing to be recharged, depending on the type of battery.

The car's body will be made of an impact-resistant composite material produced from mats of hemp, a plant from the cannabis family.

Automotive pioneer Henry Ford first built a car made of hemp fibre and resin more than half a century ago. It's not an original idea, but one that wasn't developed much further as car manufacturers favoured other materials, such as steel, in subsequent decades.
