Run flat tyres
Question for people who have run flat tyres: Do you find you get more punctures than you did before run flats or other cars in the family with normal tyres? SWMBO has had her Mini for about 3 years and seems to get a puncture every 4-6 months. I can't remember the last time I got a puncture although...

Alternatively, just carry a bulb kit anyway. Doubt they'll check they're the right bulbs for your car.
You don't need the breath test kits either - there's no penalty for not having them.
Enjoy the Pyrenees - we walked le Chemin de la Liberté last year

Re: Good afternoon :)
Long ago, after I'd met the standard for IAM membership and then helped others to do the same I just wished that the IAM standard would become the base standard for driving in the UK. Fool was I. It wouldn't be too bad if all drivers maintained the DoT test standard. I've had associates who wouldn'...

Re: Hazard warning sign on Dual Carriageway

Re: Regenerative braking
A while back I was following a Tesla and I was surprised how often the brake lights came on (almost every bend) and concluded that just lifting off lit the brake lights. 2 thoughts regarding the learner tho': aren't all hybrids automatics? And considering how little leeway some drivers give learners...
