Keeping a two -second gap to he vehicle in front is quite a challenge with others dropping in to such a large space. Fixed that for you.. I've never seen that as a problem. If I am travelling at the same speed as the vehicle in front, anyone that passes me is likely to want to pass the vehicle in f...

People staring at the speedometers is likely to increase the incidence of rear end shunts. Perhaps an alternative would be the use of Intelligent Speed Limiters? If your vehicle is incapable of exceeding the speed limit unless you specically take steps to override the ISL, you can significantly red...

If you're simply looking for a maximum speed limiter, then it works, but........ That's exactly what I am looking for. Say the road you're on had a 50 limit. Say there is a bend coming up that normal people would take at 30. How does the speed limiter help when people start driving with their foot ...

I'll buy into automated speed limiting as soon as I can. http://lalagif.com/uploads/gifs/198fecd6-picard-double-facepalm-gif-5917.gif I see the irony. Jean-Luc would be the first person to use technology to control any part of space travel that didn't need human intervention, freeing up his crew to...

So what do you do for the bozo who thinks the speed limit is the safe speed and runs wide on a left hand bend killing several people coming the other way. Road safety should be Education , Engineering then Enforcement in that order. :soap: I read a lot about bozos who think the speed limit is the s...

Could I add my thought? Rather than have a speed limiting device (which could be dangerous in some cases where an extra bit of speed can improve safety, eg when overtaking), why not have an in-car sound (striking bell?) which warns when the speed limit is being exceeded, is annoying, and cannot be ...

I have been a member of several walking groups. All have insisted that walkers should always face oncoming traffic if there is no pavement. They never believe me when I say that Rule 5 of the HC suggests differently for large groups of people walking together. They seem to stop at Rule 2, which does...

Does anybody use, or recommend the use of, the 'Dutch reach'?

back-pedalling, or stopping pedalling will brake the back wheel quite significantly... so yes the main issue was lack of front-brake, not rear... There's no way you can back pedal with a fixed wheel. So even if you have a front brake, I would argue that there are often situations where you cannot b...

When reading the recent case about the death of Kim Biggs i kept seeing references to the fact that Charlie Alliston's bike had no front brake. I was horrified when I realised that he had no rear brake either, but that because he was riding a bike with a fixed wheel, he only required a front brake t...
