My experience is the need for winter rubber doesn't outweigh the cost of buying / changing wheels & tyres around. I do however live on the coast in Devon where it rarely gets cold and the sea neutralises most extremes of temperature - at both ends. :) This winter season I don't recall any ice /...

I'm just tyred of all the tyre threads. I'm tired of you going on about it, and tired of you contributing negative or sniping comments to threads which you claim have no interest to you. I wish you'd have the courtesy to let others discuss what interests them without your constant harping. Basicall...

I'm just tyred of all the tyre threads. My advice is simple - stop driving like a tit and you can use whatever tyres you like. :lol: I'll do my utmost best to avoid driving like you then ;) There's only room for one driving god on here. :-) Well if that's the case, please remember that it's me. :P ...

Hmm, the atmosphere around here does seem a bit fragile, but so long as we watch the language and avoid direct rudeness, it doesn't seem so bad to me. As for contributing 'negative or sniping comments', I don't think silk is any more guilty than I am. Maybe I ought to grow up, too: but it's getting ...

When I referred to The System, I was thinking about the IPSGA version. i would be the last person to suggest that it is the only legitimate system, or the one best suited to all situations.

Adjust your speed, using the brakes as required, and THEN select a gear appropriate for the speed. NOT the other way round. The advice is offered with the very best of intentions.... What you have advocated there is, of course, based on driving to The System, and it is certainly a logical approach;...

It is perhaps worth reading the full report and taking note of the many important caveats most notably: Motorists may still be under the impression that the cameras are working as the housings are regularly maintained and not covered in bags stating they are out of use. Previous, unpublished resear...

....in warm weather (dunno if you've heared of that :lol: ;) ), summer tyres provide far better response compared to winter tyres. ....possibly, but if that 'improved response' (and better grip?) is available at a time when most drivers don't need it, with the downside that those summer tyres can p...

Re-read the recent posts, he clarifies this. I don't think most people on here are used to receiving this level of self-reflecton and honest reporting. I have read the recent posts. A few times. He gives the impression that "emergency stops" are not uncommon. As to "how" he brak...
