Re: Some news for you!
To put aside concerns about reliability and dealers, I have always thought that a true ADer could drive any car to its maximum potential. Is that not what Roadcraft is about? That most certainly isn't what Roadcraft is about. I doubt there are many on here who could truly drive any car to it's maxi...

Re: 'Filtering' Accident
Having watched it, I couldn't work out why, when the Focus moved up, the rider simply didn't move to the rear quarter (or even further forward) of the Hyundai. I'm not a biker and, in any case, I doubt whether most drivers are completely au fait with the exact wording of the RTA, so filtering all th...

Re: One of the dozen
Does that include uphillracer who feels the urge to berate other road users rather than getting his head down and getting his ride over with, or the idiot who recently attempted to impede a Police BMW 4x4 by trying to wedge his bike underneath during one of the (more than) slightly anarchic cyclist ...

Re: Braking
It isn't beyond the whit of manufacturers to have the LED dies in different colours. Back in the dim and distant past when I was working in digital imaging for the Home Office (don't ask) we were looking at very specific light frequency outputs because certain chemical treatments fluoresce under bom...

Re: Some news for you!
So, shall be trying to book a car for a test drive this Saturday - a Skoda Citigo with a 1.0l 60hp engine, and possibly another one with a 75hp engine if possible, so I can decide whether I'd be able to deal with the 60hp engine or whether I'd have to have the 75hp engine.

Re: Pavement Parking
Creating underground parking is a bit of an issue in London; £10k per metre for contiguous piling, £1k per 20m³ of muckaway just to get the hole in the ground. Then expensive basement tanking system (water in London really loves voids because the Clay the place sits on is impermeable), extract syste...
