I live in a town where there is a trial going on. Here they are mostly ridden by young adults with the sense o...

Re: IAM Roadsmart’s car crash on social media

There's an ad currently playing on commercial radio, inferring the peril of inadvertently creeping over the "safe" speed as a bend approaches. It ends with "and do you know what happened next?" I want to answer "absolutely nothing, he safely continued his journey". It's...

Re: Best features to look for when buying a new car.

this item of equipment which I paid for as an optional extra is actually vapour-ware which does not yet exist. :confused: I'm surprised at park assist problems, when it's been available from various manufacturers for so long.
