Re: Banning the wrong things again?
Both of my cars have cradles that I installed. I use Brodit as they will sell you a car-specific mount to which you add a phone-specific holder, making it easier to change car, or phone. I have active mounts for my iPhone that hold a charging cable so that the phone is recharged while it is in the c...

It isn’t going to be illegal for a passenger to update Waze, is it?

Re: All Quiet on the Western Front

Re: Brake and their RoadMap
Brake’s approach is counterproductive because it will lead to some drivers acting to impede others overtaking in the mistaken view that they are helping to prevent a dangerous act.

Re: Driving thoughts
“Eyes on main beam” is just meaningless jargon really.

Re: Motorcycle videos
