Re: Dangerous safety system?
If you stop suddenly for no good reason where there is following traffic that is likely to be negligent even if the following traffic is driving too close to also be able to stop safely. That would also be my view. So, going back to the original topic, could the car manufacturer be guilty of an off...

Re: Santa list?
A salutary reminder that as with driving, important decisions shouldn't be based on emotion. Merry Christmas.

Re: 'Advanced' - a solicitor writes
I'm not sure of the benefit of raising an advanced driving/riding qualification to assist one's case. Better to convince than impress.

Re: Riding a bicycle without brakes
