Re: IAM Thruxton Young Drivers Skills Day
Especially when the skid pan section says: We feel this will give you the best preparation for anything the roads and weather may throw at you! Potentially sending over-confident young drivers back out on-road. Or making them realise how hard it is to control a car in a low grip situation and why i...

Re: These shoes are made for walking
Not really. I've used Merell barefoot shoes for a while, and discovered their trail shoes add a useful bit of padding without really detracting from driving feel.

Oooh, another new standard. "DMAP5 is the ultimate qualification for all road drivers and is the highest measure of driving competence in the UK."

Feels a bit like a solution looking for a problem rather than telling folk to use their eyes? (and taking driving licenses away from folk who can't be bothered to do that).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmmgvnnjgq9o How is that an acceptable response? If it told you to drive over a cliff, would you? (I know that one's been done too :roll: ) Rather than "writing to Apple and Google to ask them to update the maps" why aren't there questions about why driv...
