Re: Observers new handbook

Yet here we are all looking at printing manuals, and run sheets and document declarations.

Meanwhile, IAM Roadsmart "Look at us how green we are, cutting down on all our printing" while groups/members take up the slack and cost! Grrr.

Re: Will I dislike an auto?

My Clio hybrid always switches to EV mode when coming to a stop BUT it is always pulling until you come to a complete stop. When I first got it and my previous DCT ICE Clio it takes a while to get the feathering of the brakes correct. Despite what is generally written in advanced driving circles you...

Re: Motorcycle videos

I haven't posted a video for quite sometime, but I now should have a bit more time. This one is of some overtakes and roundabouts on a social ride with a few mates. At the end of the video is a bit of fun with AI music for my channel.

Re: Offline?

Seems like something may still be hitting your servers hard as response times are much increased.

I'll lend you my motorbike and see how easy that is.

Raised lane dividers have been tried in the UK before with not a lot of success on dark wet winter evenings!

Re: I thought I was the only one.

I really don't get all their problems with the key fob. Why would anyone put the fob anywhere in the car. Just keep it in your pocket where it was designed to be.

Am I missing something?

Re: +ve & -ve limit point

I've only tried cruise control on long sections, such as motorways. How does / would it cope in a series of bends, any idea? Edit to clarify: it might cope with loss of speed through the bend, but couldn't deliberately use power to alter balance. And if increasing speed through, would it [see AB's ...

Re: +ve & -ve limit point

My reply on YouTube last night ... Welcome back Reg. Hmm, I'm confused, a bit.. Roadcraft and limit point already says that if you are getting closer to the limit point you need to slow a little and if it is moving away you can add some throttle/accelerator. You have to be so careful when teaching w...

Re: Will I dislike an auto?

The brake lights coming on when slowing, but you are not pressing the brake pedal has no relationship to whether the car is using the brakes automatically to slow. The brake lights will be illuminating based on an inertia switch. This is the reason you will often see electric cars being "on/off...

Re: Will I dislike an auto?

Does your brake hold keep the brake lights illuminated? My hybrid Clio has an auto handbrake/brake hold function that works perfectly. It's downside is it leaves the brake lights on. I've at long last given up worrying about it, as many other cars do the same, either due to the same feature or drive...
