Re: Two Chevron rule
I'm going to agree with you that they're confusing. The fact that we're having this discussion at all means they've failed in their intended purpose. I tend to think they're designed to create confusion in the minds of most drivers, who then tend to be a little more cautious. Nothing in the discuss...

Re: What would an "advanced driver" autonomous car do...?
Most people don't like driving and own cars for convenience and/or status. If it becomes more convenient to rent for a short journey, the incentive to own will become the province of those with larger disposable incomes. I can imagine that, possibly, hiring could end up cheaper than owning.

Re: What would an "advanced driver" autonomous car do...?
No more driving jobs. No driver in mini-cabs, taxis, buses, coaches, lorries ... what a revolution! It'll blow away the line between car-hire getting a taxi - the only difference being length of hire and the location at end of use, and for a national driverless car-hire company, the latter will have...

Re: Any ROSPA test tips
For example, if I see a warning sign ahead for "Road Narrows", that knowledge will be... "in my processing of what's upcoming" . The sign gives me advance warning of a hazard that I probably may not yet be able to see. Therefore I'll be looking for where the road narrows By the ...

Re: Front vs Rear tyre wear
the z3 has different tyres front and back - quite different, as do a number of more sporty cars, so that is an obvious exception... That applies to a fairly small proportion of the population, but the principle of keeping better tyres on the back still applies. would it make a difference if the car...

Re: Front vs Rear tyre wear
The main problem with rear tyres these days is that they die of old age! Only if one is foolish enough to never put new tyres on the rear :-) :P I am under the impression that new tyres should be put on the rear; can you explain your train of though a bit please. Me too, hence my comment :bash: I q...
