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...

Highway Code Review for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders

For me, this review is important for horse riders, who are probably the most vulnerable in this group, but there are keen cyclists on here and we all walk

Re: Can anyone advise please? France

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.

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.

Re: Hazard warning sign on Dual Carriageway

Basically, it means the new road crosses a public footpath and they didn't have the sense/money to install an underpass or footbridge

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...
