Re: These shoes are made for walking
I have just about worn out a second pair of Merrells, bought in Decathlon, which have been fine. I will be mightily disappointed if I can’t buy a third pair soon.

If it could be implemented in a satisfactory way then it could mean that traffic calming measures, such as humps, cushions, and raised tables could be removed. They are a bad solution to controlling speeding because they cannot usually be traversed at the posted limit without discomfort.

Re: Drive outs 2024
More often referred to as a driving day, the event starts with breakfast at a chosen venue. The organiser will have devised (or copied) a selection of circular routes from that venue, hopefully taking in some of the best roads in the area. There will be a matrix which pairs two drivers together for ...

Re: Lighting...
As far as rear fog lights is concerned, I have a dislike of combined brake and tail lamps because applying the brakes just makes the light a bit brighter. Having the brake lights separate means that following traffic sees another light come on which may attract their attention better. On my MR2 I re...

Re: Lighting...
In days of old you might have been prompted to turn on the lights because you couldn’t see the instruments. Now cars are driven with the instruments illuminated all the time and with enough light from the DRLs that the oblivious driver never thinks to turn on the headlights. As a result we encounter...

Re: latest speed cameras
“It comes after the news that one in four fatal collisions on UK roads happens because of speeding.“
And ignores the corollary that three out of four fatal collisions do not happen because of speeding.

Re: Comments from ADI...
IIRC the fastest reaction time is around 0.7 seconds, for most it is more. Two seconds probably covers most drivers. As an associate rider I am often told by my observer that I need to close up more when an overtake might be about to become possible. I don’t necessarily have to overtake but the exam...
