Re: Learners - motorways, night, bad weather

And in terms of steering, as Astraist has pointed out - we can always steer the car from the passenger side. In fact it is by far the most common dual control use with a learner (it isn't just the pedals you know...). Yes, I had to grab the wheel this afternoon in Dorchester at the Top O the Town r...

Re: Learners - motorways, night, bad weather

Also, what use will dual controls be? There's no second steering wheel, so lane control won't be assisted. I should think that unexpected and probably heavy braking from the ADI will (almost) never be a good thing on a motorway! And, so far as I'm aware, the dual controls can't be used to stop the ...

Re: BBC Panorama

An Italian tune up was probably exactly what it needed :twisted: This, time was those of us who started out on two stroke motorcycles grew up not afraid to use the full revs range of whatever we rode or drove. Plus, experimenting about response in any gear, and what speed any gear will take, all le...

I've continued to look in there occasionally, but I have just discovered that I now have to enter my password in order to gain access, and as I can't remember my password, it would appear I've made my last vi...

Re: Roundabout 450?

On my way to work I have a left turn at a roundabout, taking me off a busy stretch of Dual Carriageway. The DC ends just after the roundabout and traffic is often static and backed up in the left hand lane waiting to go straight on. The right hand lane is generally completely clear - few people tur...

Good to be back.

Wondered where you'd all gone. It took until today, but aside from not being able to log on, the forum was dead with none of the vibrancey of the old ADUK. It's been a busy year with both the children moving into their own flats, which meant a lot of work for me and my wife. No time to forage around...
