Re: 80mph on the motorway as bad as drink driving
I recall it was not all that long ago government suggested the limit could be increased to 80 but that seems to have disappeared from the agenda no doubt at the insistence of the green and 20 plenty lobbyists.

Hi
No gears are still sequential, but we often advise associates to block change in the last few seconds before coming to a stop. click click click.
