You mean there are people who watch YT without adblockers?

I get some benefit from one YouTuber's success (driving his Emira at the moment) - so happily the answer is yes!

Is he correct? Is it definitely the case that the 'you should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross' applies at the entrance and exit of roundabouts?

YOU really control the gearbox with your right foot. Sure it will have kickdown, but sensitive use of the throttle will affect when it changes up/down. It takes a while to develop that touch, but once you do you won't want to go back to a manual. Oh no? What about the satisfaction from accurate rev...

Well, legitimising passing either side would free things up, but if folk are so inattentive they can't even be bothered to move left when there's a lane free, I'd much rather have them off the roads altogether. I believe there's a thing called a "bus" or "train" if you don't wan...

There would of course be the increased congestion caused by loss of a running lane, but other traffic management aspects such as variable speed limit gantries would probably remain, so a ‘reverted’ SM may still flow better than before it became smart. Agressively ticketing MLMs would make a signifi...

Are there no functions which you can only operate via the touch screen?

I have a seven year old Hyundai Tucson - it has been trouble free and I like it a lot. Since we are on an AD forum I will mention that one of the main reasons I chose it over all the other mid-market SUV's is that the top spec version was available with a manual gearbox. That would not apply to any ...

I recently enjoyed the great experience of a shift in a roads policing car. I saw 130 mph on the M25 and was most impressed at how smoothly we moved to the hard shoulder when traffic slowed and were able to continue at 50 to 60 mph. We might have been able to continue had there been no hard shoulder...
