Re: Proposal for new driving test regulations post initial test...

... you all call yourself advance drivers....you should be ashamed of yourself not wanting to make the roads safer and instead of just rolling over and accepting things for how they are. Wow, that's strong at only 4 posts/comments of site membership! :o Many of us here spend many many hours helping...

Re: Interesting visit to the scenery

Wiki says... After learners pass their driving test, they must display a A-plate (for apprenti), of round shape with white background and red letter, for 3 years (shortened to 2 years for those who took part in the conduite accompagnée program - a program allowing learner to drive with a licensed dr...

Re: Interesting visit to the scenery

Well researched Mike, how did you find the location? Google is your friend :D Picture match search, then use Google translate to read a few French newspaper articles. I've read a few more since my post. The driver was an 18 year old female. The reason for 'exiting the road' is unknown. Looking at i...

Re: Interesting visit to the scenery

That's not a space saver. It's a basic Renault with wheel covers. Remember them? Not all cars have alloys. :)

Looks like a new/young driver. Isn't the A plate in the rear window equivalent to a P plate over here?

Re: Happy Christmas

What!! Where is your helmet All the gear all the time :soap: :lol: He has history! ;) He does have gloves and boots on. He was bit nervous when he did have his helmet on riding £24k of motorcycle down dirt tracks and through the forest. :o :D http://www.mjrproductions.co.uk/SAM-cover-pics/SAM-Cover...

Re: “Black box” recorders to become compulsory?

Not what I thought I was going to read. I thought it was going to be an insurance style box (which we should all resist having fitted to stop it becoming 'the norm'). Many vehicles already have what is being talked about in the article. Data is stored in/by the ecu on a rolling basis. Not for great ...

Re: New Audi A6 - not able to switch off Stop/Start function

My RenaultSport Clio 200 has an off button but it resets at every engine start. It can not be permanently turned off as it then wouldn't meet the Euro 4 emissions test and Renault wouldn't be able to market it with the non-achievable fuel figures. Martin, there's no ODBC port method either. You can ...
