Re: E-scooters safer than bicycles - says ROSPA
Will be interesting to see how that compares with the NHS statistics... They are apparently recording increasing numbers of casualties of various levels (not sure which of those would then be reported into the DfT stats that RoSPA uses). My wife is a hand surgeon and is seeing quite a few patients r...

Re: L3 autonomy
It is I think based on the concept that at L3 the car will hand back to you when necessary - and at that point turn off the TV
(hence why no permission for phone as the car can't control the phone)

Re: It’s chilling that people drive at 81 mph on the motorway – says IAM Roadsmart
That quote is still there in the link - the link is a 3rd party quoting the IAM, so the IAM perhaps have no control over that website, however, they could remove the link from their facebook post... The IAM statement has been widely quoted. Getting precise figures for deaths is not easy, but 12 per ...

Re: It’s chilling that people drive at 81 mph on the motorway – says IAM Roadsmart
It feels to me that I drive a different part of the M25. I see drivers following too close, sometimes without thought but other times in an effort to bully another driver out of the way, even if there's nowhere for them to go. I see terrible lane discipline… But: - if they don't have an accident / ...

Re: It’s chilling that people drive at 81 mph on the motorway – says IAM Roadsmart
Speeding is responsible for around 12 deaths each day on UK roads Serious Q, is that actually a fact? Presumably by analysis of STATS19 data? Gov.uk says: "There were an estimated 1,390 reported road deaths in the year ending June 2021" 12 x 365 = 4,380. Hmmm ... definitely nothing like t...

Re: Trail Braking
I have heard that difference, but I have also heard a number of people from all backgrounds referring to them both as trail braking... In essence though I see it as very similar - if you are using it to control speed / safety in a blind or downhill bend, then you are doing so to allow you to take th...
