Instead of posting speed limits on sections of road that are rarely correct at all times and in all circumstances I propose that they are removed entirely. Instead of attempting to achieve compliance with arbitrary limits by occasionally measuring the speed of a few road users and prosecuting those ...

There appears to be three lanes going ahead and a slip lane, so four lanes if you stretch a point.

That’s a long time to be enjoying hospital food. Glad to hear that you’re on the mend.

It is rather like stopping on a hill. During the last phase of braking pedal effort is proportional to speed so is reducing as the car’s speed reaches zero. In a manual car, on the level, the car would stop smoothly just as the brake pedal is released. On a slope it would start to roll. The creep of...

Without a riders eye view it is difficult to say how advisable that would be, but the slow marking on the road suggests that it would not be witho...

Lifting off will reduce the load on the transmission. Reapplying power will be sensed as an increase in load; the box will downshift to meet the expected demand for power and remain in that gear until the load eases again. On an unrelated note: I used to drive John Deere Gators, which are utility ve...

I have an extra set of wheels for my Yaris and winter tyres. I have seen the benefit a couple of times, once watching a Focus slide wide turning left while I stayed on course, and once where I was on a wet and muddy field being used as a car park.

During my motoring career nothing has lit the way ahead as well as a pair of driving lamps on the roof of my Land-Rover.

If this silly story was true, anyone who parks on the street would have to remove their vehicle to an off-street parking place before lockdown started. Insurance doesn’t only provide cover while the vehicle is being driven
