Re: Cornering...

Well, this thread has shown me just how complex steering is!

Step 2: Turn the steering wheel in such a manner that I remain on the tarmac.
Step 3: Continue driving.

Re: Spam

It needs an english language maths question on signup. Somthing like: "What is six times seven? Answer in digits." That stopped bot signups completely on the phpBB installation that I ran. Or alternatively "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?" Push-pull stee...

Re: Americans confused by safety technology?

Are Americans ever not confused by something? They're confused by the concept of love in relation to marriage, they're confused by the concept of gun control, they're confused by the concept of public-funded healthcare. They're basically confused by everything that theoretically makes a country a go...

Re: So do you know the Highway Code?

I only got 10 out of 10 because, against my better judgement, I was able to answer correctly the bonkers suggestion in the Highway Code that one should use the left-hand lane on a motorway or dual-carriageway "at all times except when overtaking"! Well... That is what you do...? Unless yo...
