New ST drifts itself.

Not quite, but apparently alongside your usual 'comfy', 'sporty', 'dsc off-but-not-really' modes, the new RS comes with a 'drift' mode which allows talentless monkeys to believe they can drift. (I'm a talentless monkey who knows he can't drift, buts that's half the point.) It's 4wd and has the capab...

Re: East Surrey to Farnham

Hello. Im fairly close in Reading.

I struggle to get out much these days; I have a small human who requires my time.

Re: Making space at junctions

Having been caught out by this in the past, i now double check for indicators in the mirrors on approach to a junction mouth. If nothing there, I'll do as you do and leave a gap. If somebody is indicating, I'll move and 'block' the mouth unless it's a 'keep clear' in which case they can beep at me a...

Re: Smoooth . . . or not?

Perhaps it's not a lack of smoothness that is the difference, but the amount of force and how it is perceived by the car's occupants. Take an approach to a 30 limit from an NSL. It was suggested that a police driver would accelerate up to the point where they would need to brake in order to be at 30...

Re: What would you do?

Is there a google maps street view of this road, if you could spare a moment to find it? I'm just interested to see where the white lines start and end in relation to the corner.

Re: What would you do?

Imagine yourself on one of the bikes and think about each option. I know what I would prefer if it were me. Edit after my initial answer. Is this a hypothetical , or did this happen? Can we assume you 'went' and got the finger or something similar and you are looking for justification, or do I have ...

Re: Roundabout 450?

I'd say that was a bit naughty and would require a less than inconspicuous traffic light grand Prix. Then again if it's against Mildred in her Micra....
