Re: Double White Line Meaning?
In my defence, I never once read the highway code...
And I never got questioned on the theory test on the meaning of double white lines...

Is it just me?
Or does the new format of ADUK actually hurt your eyes?
It's very bright, for some reason...

Re: So do you know the Highway Code?
10/10 I was thrown for a moment by the seatbelt question, then remembered that bikes don't have them, so it could only be one answer :lol: not sure that is the reason - there are cars out there where you don't have to wear a seatbelt - if not fitted as it is not compulsory to have them fitted... my...

Re: Speed differentials
... I'd rather use my foot in dense traffic because it means I can do smoother adjustments, and indeed, change gear if necessary, whereas with cruise on, I'd be tempted to ignore the gearbox and just try to do all my accelerating in 5th lol. If you're in a situation where you need to change gear th...

Re: Speed differentials
I have never driven a Yeti but I cannot imagine that the Cruise Control is that much different from others. Did you know that you can adjust your speed to suit the traffic conditions without coming off Cruise? Typically, a single press/click on the +/- buttons will increase or decrease speed in 1mp...

Re: Vehicle 2 Vehicle (V2V) technology
But what I meant was more in terms of a system that would warn you of vehicles approaching around a blind bend on a single track lane. Especially if the vehicle is being driven by a "local"... radar might work... but again, if you get used to it you run down the cyclist / horse rider when...

Re: Speed differentials
using cruise control is (I think!) a good exercise in driving - in order to stay at a constant speed on a motorway - assuming it is not too busy - requires you to really plan ahead and maintain a bubble of space around you - it means you have to think / plan / maintain constant speed. however, don'...
