Omitting The car
The driver was not driving the car fast.
I think I can safely omit 'the car' in the sentence. Am I right?

sundarnaz I can safely omit 'the car' Yes. I think that's the default vehicle in the minds of most people. Of course, without 'car', the reference might be to a truck (lorry) or even to a horse-drawn carriage, but most people aren't necessarily going to think of those.
