Advanced Driving Hub

I'm usually quite good at looking, but I don't always reach across. I'd prefer to, I've just found the habit difficult to build.

Were you releasing the accelerator entirely while upshifting before?

Cornering forces- in a Porsche with the ability to show lateral g force, I found that far the highest g forces were very brief transitional forces at small roundabouts. No implications for safety, but I presume they would have been marked as negatives? There's likely to be some smoothing applied, a...

I'd be very surprised if they were able to detect centre line infractions. If I had to guess (perhaps not totally uneducated, but still in the realms of guesswork), it would be: - Times. Penalize people who drive at night. - Where you drive. Towns might have more insurance claims. Rural roads might ...

You might find the anti-left-foot-braking system still allows you to do that. The (manual) Polo I used to drive had a system that would cut power if you applied the brake (in that order), but allow accelerator to be added after the brake: it allowed heel and toe, but not left foot braking, so to spe...

I actually used one of these either 1 or 2 years ago. It was Admiral's 'AppyDriver'; it was a phone app (that could be turned off), and I needed to drive something like 200 miles with it running to be given a score and maybe a discount. I don't have that much information on what it scored me on: I u...

If I were Google, or any body else developing self-driving cars right now; I wouldn't be too happy with Tesla...

I actually noticed with the RX-8 that the gearbox oil would never reach full temperature until the car had been taken above 4krpm a few times.

(By never I mean after driving below 4k for hours during the rebuild running in.)

I think the problem here is that Tesla have decided it's OK to create a self-driving car that requires continuous human oversight (the instructions are quite clear that you're still responsible). Unsurprisingly, people don't do this, and as a result things like this happen. I absolutely agree that a...

My experience buying car insurance (also from Admiral/Elephant group) was that premiums are minimized when the car is worth about £10,000 (there are of course other more significant factors, but it was an appreciable impact). Any more and it'll cost too much to fix, and less and you won't be careful...
